Hi Rita, Here is a description of a piece of land that mentions my g-grandfather Tobias Woody. It has Larkin Shepard in it too, Tobias' first wife had a child named Jordan Ashley Miller, when they married. So that is very interesting. What else do you know about Larkin Shepard? Carolyn -Ashe County, NC--District no. 43 boundry: Beginning on the point of the ridge north of Larkin Shepherds, running a northwest course to the top of the Rich Nob, then an east course to Tobias Wooddy's thence to the top of the Blue Ridge, thence east along the mountain to the dividing line between Reddy's river and Mulberry, thence south with said ridge to the line of Dist. 44, thence to the beginning.--
