Well, hopefully we have some new list members trying out their new computers Santa brought them and this will be familiar to someone. All locations are Orange County, NC unless otherwise noted. Harrison WOODS born abt 1805 (per census) died bet 1870-1800 in Orange County, NC. Married Patsie CARDEN. Marriage bond filed Sept. 23, 1831 and bond set by Calous MOIZE. Patsie CARDEN born abt 1810, died before 1870. Harrison and Patsie's children: 1. James, born abt 1832 2. Carolina, born abt 1834 3. William Washington, born Feb. 12, 1835, died March 20, 1918. Married Martha L. CLINTON January 14, 1858. A. WILKERSON was bondsman. (Martha's sister, Mary, married Washington DUKE). 4. John H. Woods, born abt 1839 In 1860. a 9-year old Martha SHAMBLEY is living with Harrison and Patsie Woods. Questions and speculations: 1. Is Caroline Woods the same Caroline Woods for whom there was a marriage bond filed with William C. CHAMBLEE in January 1852? The bondsman on this bond was John R. CHAMBLEE. A John Ruffin CHAMBLEE married Alice CLINTON in 1848. I believe, but cannot prove, that Alice CLINTON was a sister of Martha and Mary Clinton. 2. A Bastardy Bond filed in Orange County Court on Feb. 25, 1783 shows that a Phoebe BRITTAIN named Harrison WOODS as the father of her child. (gender not given). How does this Harrison fit into the WOODS line, and who was Phoebe BRITTAIN? 3. A Harris WOODS born abt 1764 married Jemimah FORRESTER in 1800 in Orange County. Jemimah was a daughter of Sarah WOOD and Benjamin FORRESTER. Jemimah's siblings married into the CHISENHALL, LEATHER, DOSSETT families -- all of which names are associated with the WOODS in various ways. In several census, there are DOSSETT and FORRESTER very near Harrison and Patsie WOODS. William and Patsie Woods named one of their sons Jesse HARRISON and another HARRIS. 4. A land deed transfer between MALONE and Stacey CARDIN for land near present day Camden Ave in Durham lists one of the boundaries as next to Buck Woods and Prentis CHISENHALL. One of the census (I think 1840 but need to go back and check my dates) lists Harrison Woods living near Rueben and Stacey CARDIN. Could Patsie be a daughter of Stacey and Rueben? Does anyone have a list of their children? Renee W. Roderiques NC lines: Woods, Carrington, Pickett, Clinton, Vickers, Preddy, Blackley.
