There is some information on the Woodheads here, Julie:

page 241 Mention of Joshua
page 303 Joshua

Mention of Abraham Woodhead as a Reverend and a will, but this is in 1721 so earlier than your Abraham but possibly connected?

There is the death of a John Woodhead in 1662, who was bitten by a mastiff!

There is an interesting section on gravestones, but for later burials.
