Woodworth's father, also named Elias Woodworth, was born in Cayuga County, New York, and was a pioneer settler of Salem, Wisconsin. The Woodworths are direct descendants of Walter Woodworth, one of the original Plymouth Colony settlers.
Elias, Jr., married Helen Van Wie and had at least seven children. Sometime after his term in the Assembly, he and his family relocated to Medford, Minnesota.
