Surnames: Cowan, Corson, Peabody Classification: Birth Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DMQ.2ACIB/1109.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you so much for the tip about the nickname! From what I have been able to figure, there were at least 3 Woodbury's. One born in Maine, two in New Hampshire. Mine was b. New Hampshire, 1862. He married Lena Cowan approximately 1885. They resided in Massachutes where my Great Grandmother (Ivis M.) was born June 10, 1887 (via LDS Family History Center Records) I did find a Woodbury in New Hampshire, but he existed at the same time as mine in Massachutes. I am beginning to wonder if Woodbury was his nickname since in 1900 census he is listed as Witt E or Wilds E. Research can be so frustrating! Again, thank-you! Andra
