The Making of a Noble Family
The Woods family was elevated out of obscurity during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Relations between Catholics and Protestants were strained and plots were hatched with regularity against the Virgin Queen. William Estus Woods, a Yeoman of the Guard, discovered and reported a plot against Her Majesty’s life and throne in 1571. William was 21 years old and very handsome, a quality which earned him the ire of many courtiers. For his actions in the discovery of the Ridolfi Plot; he was made a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter and quickly became one of Elizabeth’s favorites. To his credit Woods was always discrete and stayed close to the Queen, often appearing in court at her request. In 1573 constant appearances in court sparked rumors of a secret affair with the Queen that seemed to be substantiated when the Queen saw fit to elevate Woods to the peerage as Earl of Clwyd and Baron Woods in 1573. He was granted a vast tract of land bordering the River Clwyd and granted a monopoly on the wool trade in that region of Wales. The revenues earned, quickly made Woods wealthy and he used his income to further his political career as well as to do “good works” publicly, earning him the love of his fellow Welshmen. In 1578 he commissioned the construction of a grand country house in the Tudor style, a palace he called Plas Clwyd. Woods retired from court in 1596 when it became clear Elizabeth no longer desired his companionship. Later in the year he met the Lady Elisabeth Paulet and began a short courtship ending in marriage. In 1597 at the ripe old age of 47 he sired his first of four legitimate children with his young bride, a daughter of the 3rd Marquise of Winchester. His eldest son Edward Howard “Howie” Woods was raised predominantly in the Marquises house, in Hampshire, along with the Marquise grandson, John, who was close in age to Howie. The two were educated by private tutors at Basing House and spent their leisure time hunting on the Marquises lands.

Mary Woods, Williams’s second child was learned and well practiced at court life. She married Sir Edward Percy at age 16. The two were always happy together and she bore him four sons and two daughters only three of which survived infancy into adulthood. She died of the pox in the winter of 1621 along with her husband and youngest child.

George Woods, the youngest of William’s three children was a reserved and quiet child with a clever mind. Awestruck by the wonders of the bible from an early age he attended the Seminary University of Oxford and joined the clergy upon receiving his diploma. He served as a member of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s household and achieved an appointment as the Bishop of Bangor in 1648 where he served until his death in 1663. William Estus Woods died unexpectedly in his sleep in 1616 at the age of 64 thus elevating Howie to Howard Woods, 2nd Earl of Clwyd and Baron Woods at the young age of only 18. Howard visited the court of King James I on a few occasions and sat in his parliaments of 1621 and 1624. After which he was granted the office of Lord Lieutenant of Merioneth. He held his office in Merioneth from 1624 until 1648 when the monarchy was dissolved in favor of the Commonwealth of England. Woods was married to Lady Mary Somerset the youngest daughter of Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worchester in 1626. Together they had five children. The eldest, named Thomas Edward Woods was styled Lord Thomas, Baron Woods at birth but died prematurely at age 6 leaving his younger brother Brandon Alexander Woods as the heir apparent. Howard Woods remained a royalist and staunch supporter of restoration until his death in 1659 just one year before the monarchy was restored.

Brandon Woods was the polar opposite of his father and had his own ideas on government. He continued to ride the fence on the issue of loyalty to a monarch even after his father’s death and the restoration of the House of Stuart, even allowing his position in the peerage to lie in abeyance until 1679 when his first child was born and he petitioned King Charles II for his title.

First born son, Phillip Andrew Woods was educated by private tutor until age 13 when he was sent to Eton College and then to Oxford where he studied politics and all things aberrant. He was called to attend parliament by accelerated writ in 1707, due to his father being out of the country and unable to attend. He there participated in the ratification of the Act of Union, creating Great Britain by joining Scotland and England.

Brandon’s other son, Horatio Jonathan Woods, was born at Plas Clwyd in August of 1691. His mother was severely weakened by the birth and died three days later, a fact that haunted Brandon and drove a wedge between him and his youngest child. Not much of a family man, in the absence of his wife, Brandon sent Horatio to live with his late wife Margret Hastings’ family. The 7th Earl of Huntingdon, Theophilus, was a stern man who battled King William III on every political front. The Earl’s youngest son, Theophilus, was five years younger than Horatio and the two grew to be more like brothers than Phillip and Horatio were. When Horatio turned ten, the Earl of Huntingdon died and Horatio returned to Plas Clwyd where he was educated by private tutors until he turned 13 and was given the choice of studying with the clergy or joining the Royal Navy under the command of his cousin Captain Sir George Hastings.

Horatio chose the sea over the cloth and began his service to the crown as a midshipman aboard the H.M.S. Tarpon, a small 36 gun frigate. He excelled rapidly mastering the sextant and learning to read the wind from the experienced men of the Tarpon. He was made full Lieutenant by the age of 15 and surprised his board when he showed no fear during the sitting there of. He was then reassigned aboard the H.M.S. Havilland a small unrated ship which he captained. He was commended for the rescue of Lewis Herring during a pirate attack near Jenny Bay in the Caribbean in 1720, though Captain Herring perished from wounds received after the battle.

Horatio serves the British Royal Navy in the Caribbean where he currently holds the rank of Captain. He is assigned to the prestigious St. George Squadron as of October 1722 and continues to serve with distinction.
