Gayle, Which Woods and Carnahan's are you researching? I believe my Woods is Michael Woods, and he lived in the 1700's...anything familiar? I would have to check my notes for more details on that family. I believe he may have lived in the Elderton area.

Thanks for writing Peggy! I have William and Hannah (Fanny) Carnahan Woods born around 1815 who are living in Freeport Twp Armstrong County at the time of the 1840 and 1850 census prior to their move to Iowa. I have no proof of parents or siblings for them. There is a Mary Woods age 78 living with John Woods age 52 and his wife Jane 42 two pages away from William in the 1850 census. I would like to think they might be relatives. I had hoped the small cemetery at Freeport or perhaps the larger cemetery would have Mary and perhaps a spouse and John and Jane in that cemetery. I am just a bit too late for your family I am afraid, unless you can move closer into the 1800's. Let me hear from you please. Gayle in Kansas

Gayle, Yes, my Ann Woods Sharp died about 1806 and I haven't pinned down who her parents and siblings were. I have heard Michael Woods suggested, and I know there were some Carnahan's inter-related. I promise I will hunt up my notes on this family, and keep a copy of your message. Thanks for writing!

I live just a few miles away and know Carnahans and Wood's in the Elderton/Shelocta areas. Can you give a family name? THere are lots of wood/woods and Carnahans. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan and Peg Engle" <dbengle@pennswoods.net> To: <PAARMSTR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 9:38 PM Subject: Re: [PAARMSTR-L] Small cemetery near Freeport > Gayle, Which Woods and Carnahan's are you researching?
