"Dudley Woodbridge, Sr., after being graduated at Yale, opened a law office and import shop in Norwich, where he met and married Lucy Backus.
Dudley Woodbridge, Sr., and Lucy Backus had six children. When they came west in 1789, Dudley, Jr., and William (later the first governor of Michigan) were left in "prep" school in the East.
The Woodbridge and Backus families were part and parcel of New England's ministry and governmental forces since the early days and their descendants played an important part in laying the foundation of our own State. [Source]
