Prof. Steven is not to be confused with Stephen Woodworth, fiction writer of novels such as "With Red Hands", "Through Violet Eyes", and "From Black Rooms".

These are the two Woodworths that seem to show up in what seems like thousands of places when one does a Google on "Woodworth".

Woodworths of the Mohawk Nation We have a professor from the Mohawk nation, and a picture of a "Woody Woodworth" in full regalia.  The latter picture was taken in Nov 1997.  Unfortunately, the "real" name of this Woody is unknown.  He's a Mohawk Indian that was living in the San Antonio area.  Anyone know the name of this Woodworth?  Let me know.
Stephen Woodworth, Canadian Parliament Stephen was elected to Canada's Parliament in October 2008
Selah Woodworth, d July 4, 1825 Only known Woodworth to meet tragedy while celebrating the 4th of July.  One wonders what happened to Selah's little girl.  She went on to marry and one of her descendants is our Jane Cooper, who is listed on the Walter Descendancy Lines page.   This 1825 clipping seems to be from the Leader Herald newspaper of Fulton, NY. 
Floyd H. Woodworth, inventor Floyd H. Woodworth, together with C. M. Chorpening, were co-inventors of the Astatic model microphones in 1933.  Woodworth and Chorpening founded the Astatic corporation, with Woodworth as president and Chorpening as vice-president.  The D-104 model microphone was produced from 1933 to 2001 for a total of 68 years.  (Can anyone provide the webmeister Floyd's descendancy line?)
