Henry Bolingbroke Woodward was born on November 24, 1832, in Norwich, England.

He was a geologist and paleontologist known for his research on fossil crustaceans and other arthropods. He was educated at Norwich Grammar School. He became assistant in the Department of Geology at the British Museum in 1858 and in 1880, Keeper of that department, a position he held until 1901. In 1864, he co-founded and served as an editor of the Geological Magazine until 1918. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1873 and received the honorary degree of LL.D. from St. Andrews University in 1878. Woodward served as president of the Geological Society of London (1894–1896) and was awarded the Murchison Medal in 1884 and Wollaston Medal in 1906. He was president of the Geologists' Association (1873-1874), the Malacological Society (1893–1895), the Museums Association (1900), and the Paleontographical Society (1895). Woodward's collections of shells, manuscripts, and casts of fossil vertebrates can be found in the Cambridge University Museum of Zoology. He published " A Monograph of the British Fossil Crustacea, Order Merostomata" (1866-1878), "A Monograph of Carboniferous Trilobites" (1883-1884), and many articles in scientific journals.

In 1857, he married Ellen Sophia Page (1836–1913). He died on September 6, 1921, in Bushey, England.

Harvey Teper Woodman was born on September 12, 1827, in Corinth, Maine.

He was a naturalist. He left home at the age of ten and went to Boston, where he worked in the drugstore and studied chemistry and natural history. He then moved to St. Louis, and in 1849, to New York City. For thirteen years, he studied the coral reefs of Florida and investigated the Gulf Stream and currents at Dry Tortugas for the government. For more than forty years, he collected shells, corals, and fossils and helped build the collections of museums of the natural history of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and other universities and private collectors. Woodman was also one of the experts of the Smithsonian Institution. The collections in the Museum of Natural History at Princeton and in New York are named after him. Woodman gained international fame by publishing his theory that America populated Europe and not vice versa. He based it on the geological formation, the fossils, and prehistoric bones found on the American continent. In 1869, Woodman founded the Iowa Institute of Science and Art and served as its vice-president. He was an intimate friend of Presidents Lincoln and Grant.

In 1852, he married Catherine Charlotte Rawson (1829–1901). He died on May 22, 1903, in Mt. Vernon, New York.

Educator, missionary, and historian Edward Woodley was born in Montreal. He graduated with honors from McGill University in 1900, then completed the theological course at the affiliated Canadian Congregational College in 1902. That same year he married a fellow McGill student, Edythe Anne Garlick (Annie), who had graduated with first class standing in Greek and Latin. The couple left for missionary work in India, where Rev. Woodley taught English and theology while learning the language, and his wife cared for their two young children. Mrs. Woodley’s poor health required them to return to Canada for a few years, but they went back and tried to continue work in India; again they had to return because of Mrs. Woodley’s health. Rev. Woodley became a pastor in Danville, Quebec, and from 1908 to 1911 and lectured at Canadian Congregational College in Montreal on comparative religions and theology. In 1911 he became principal of St. Francis Collegiate School in Richmond, Quebec, and also became president of the Canadian Congregational Foreign Missionary Society. The family then headed to Turkey to serve with the Central Turkey Mission. After their return in 1919, both continued teaching, and in 1930, Edward was appointed Special Research Officer for the Quebec Department of Education. For the next decades he wrote, compiled and edited a number of history books and textbooks, mostly on French Canada, from “Legends of French Canada” (1931) to “Untold Tales from Old Quebec (1949). He died of leukemia in 1955. One of his daughters, Elsie Caroline Woodley, followed her parents footsteps in graduating from McGill and becoming a teacher, and she also published a book of poetry, “Bittersweet,” in 1930.
