William Woodward was the founder of Woodward High School in Cincinnati, Ohio which was the first free public high school west of the Alleghenies.
Having no children, he left his large estate to the Woodward High School, including a large amount of land, money, sterling silver and artifacts from his home. His estate was still active until the late 1960's when trustees of the estate, who were graduates of the Woodward High School class of 1961 systematically plundered it.
It is believed the (new) Hamilton County jail and the casino located on Reading Road were built on land belonging to the Woodward estate.
He married an heiress, Abigail Cutter, who was once his ward.
He came to Cincinnati from Windham County, Connecticut in 1791, becoming a successful and wealthy businessman.
This Presbyterian Burying Ground cemetery no longer exists and after several repurposings by the city of Cincinnati over the span of 180 years, it is in 2015 a park across from Music Hall.
