Life

Woodworth was born in Norwich, Connecticut Colony on June 13, 1743, the son of Daniel Woodworth and Sarah Collins.[1] He eventually moved to Rensselaer Manor, now Greenbush, New York, although maintaining ownership of land in Salisbury, Connecticut, and married Rachel Fitch, daughter of Abel Fitch.[1]

In 1778, he served in the American Revolution as a captain of the Fourth Regiment, Second Rennslaerwyck Battalion.[1] He was elected as a state senator in 1792, serving through 1796.[2] Following that he served as a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, before returning to Albany as a representative of Rennselaer County in 1806, serving a term.[1][2]

Robert and Rachel were the parents of future New York Attorney General, John Woodworth.[1]
