Surnames: Woodward Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3h.2ADE/1595.1.1 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the William Woodwrd family of Columbus, Ohio. The first Woodward family to immigrate from England to Columbus were William and Susannah Woodward that came by 1877 as the birth of their youngest child, Anne was there in 1877. Susannah died before 1880 but William continued to live there with his chilldren. Continued family generations of Williams lived there until at least 1930 when there was a William born about 1919 and 11 at that time. My great, great grandmother was a sister to Susannah Woodward, nee Morgan and was Emily Madge, nee Morgan. We have lost contact with the Morgan family in part due to an inherited kidney disease my family has suffered with and this family may also have dealt with this. It is called polycystic kidney disease-PKD. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Betty Bennett
