He was the son of Dudley and Lucy (Backus) Woodbridge, who moved the family to Marietta, Ohio in 1191. William returned to Conne cticut to study law at lit- chfichl from 1731 to 1800, and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1800. He began public life as a merneber of the Ohio legislature (1807), and the next year he was appointed Pro- secuting Attorney for Washington County, Ohio. In 1814, President Madison appointed Woodbridge secretary of the Michigan Territory, and he moved to Detroit. During his time in that office, WcxxIbridge served as a territorial delegate to Congress (2323-32). He also gave legal advice in cases with the Northwest Fur Company and Canadian cases against the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1835, he was a cleluate trs the nchienn. Constitutional cuoycntIon anc.1 tie served as a slate senator from 1837-39. The next year, Wood- bridge took office as governor after winning the election as a conservative Whig candidate. To combat the financial crises of the state at. that time, Woodbridge urged tax revi- sion, stricter bunking regulatiuns and more funding from the federal government for internal improvements. He was instrumental in establishing the University of Michigan into nine branches. He was elected to the 135. Senate in 1841, and so withdrew early from office as governor. Woodbridge served in Washington for six years, and then retired in Detroit, where he died.
