His name was James WOODS, and I know his father's name was William WOODS. It is also known in the family history that we go back to John WOODS who married Isabel BRUCE and settled in Ireland around 1650. > > I know that John WOODS had sons, John, George, and Thomas. It is my understanding that he also had other son's. But I don't know who they were. > > So my question is, does anyone know how I could find out what other son's John had, or who William's father was. I'm almost certain his name was either James, Samuel, Allen, or Nathaniel. > > John could have been William's grandfather or g-grandfather. > > Any help is sure appreciated.
