Source checks

 * 1.) "Alumni Catalogue of New York University, 1833–1905: College, Applied Science and Honorary Alumni. (New York: General Alumni Society of New York University, 1906), 8."
 * [1a] - this along with ref 2 covers everything except for his parents d.o.b./d.o.d (although pagination in ref 2 is slightly off)
 * [1b] - mention of NYU is not supported
 * [1c] - description of Eucleian Society not supported "secretive, all male"
 * [1d] - basically not supported - source only says he got his masters in 1841 (I consider this material to be dubious)
 * [1e] - between this and ref 5 everything is covered except for the exact church names (ref 5 just says "2nd church") and the source provides a different date for leave the New Brunswick Church than the article does
 * [1f] - unclear what exactly this ref is intended to cover, but the other three refs support everything except for the exact date of December
 * [1g] - okay
 * [1h] - between this and ref 2, several of the dates are not supported
 * [1i] - okay
 * [1j] - okay
 * 2.) "Mitchell, Donald Grant and Mitchell, Alfred. The Woodbridge Record: Being an Account of the Descendants of the Rev. John Woodbridge of Newbury, Massachusetts. (New Haven, Connecticut: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1883)."

 * [3a] along with ref 4, this is okay
 * [3b] okay
 * [3c] maybe okay? struggling to figure out some of the abbreviations in this source
 * [3d] see [1f]
 * [3e] okay
 * [3f] okay
 * [3g] meh, some differences between the list but that seems to be due to variance in reporting by other sources. One item from source does not appear to be listed - "Analysis of Theology"
 * [3h] okay, but the claim of no other details being known appears to be original research
 * [3i] claim of "(likely the New-Brunswick Daily Fredonian)" and the no other details statement are original research
 * [3j] same OR claim about no other details
 * [3k] source uses a shorter name of the place of publication. "no other details" statement looks like OR
 * 4.) "Lowell, D.O.S. "The Sons of Clergymen" in Munsey's Magazine 37(6) (September 1907), 704-706; citing Clark, Sereno Dickenson. The New England Ministry Sixty Years Ago: The Memoir of John Woodbridge, D.D. (Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1877)."

 * [5a] see [3c]
 * [5b] see [1e]

 * [6a] see [1e]
 * [6b] okay
 * [6c] source does not claim that these are honorary degrees
 * 7.) "cCormick, Richard P. Rutgers: a Bicentennial History. (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1966), passim."
 * [7a] not easily verifiable since page numbers are not given, but seems accurate
 * [7b] not easily verifiable since page numbers are not given, but seems accurate
 * 8.) " Demarest, David D. Centennial of the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in America, formerly the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, 1784–1884. (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Board of Publication of the Reformed Church in America, 1885)."
 * [8a] okay except that Ludlow's birth year isn't mentioned
 * [8b] only supports the mention of pastoral theology, while ref 9 mentions that he filled in once. Not seeing any mention of polemic or didactic theology or that this occurred multiple times
 * [8c] okay except that it seems to be page 468, not 134?
 * [8d] checks out

 * 11.) "Staff. Brief news item in New Brunswick Daily Times (June 27, 1905), page 5, column 2."
 * [11a] Okay (took some digging to find this)
 * 12.) (library catalog)
 * [12a] the text is fine, but the note accompanying the ref is problematic - "XT8 W85 1872" appears to be the college catalog number, not a LOC number, and "It was likely published in New York by the Reformed Church's Board of Publications." is probably original research
 * 13.) (library catalog again)
 * [13a] the text is fine, but the note accompanying the ref is problematic. Again, this seems to be an internal library number for the college, not a LOC number
 * 14.) (library catalog)
 * [14a] exact same situation as [13a]
 * 15.) (library catalog)
 * [15a] exact same situation as [13a]
