Dear Paul, Quoting Robert Woodside My Life and Town page 175; "The Woodsides Using biblical language, Joohn Woodside begot Thomas who begot Jacob who begot William who begot Tobert, Sr. who begot Robert, Jr., who begot Tober James who begot Mike. A brief history of the Yeager, Buffington, Creightoon, Jacobs, Lemon, Hoffman and Woodside families by the Honorable James Martin Yeager, DD records the children of John Woodside, born 9 March 1760, died 11 September, 1835, a soldier of the Revolutionary War from Upper Paxton Township, in the following order: 1 James 2 Nathan page 176, 3 Jonathan (In 1779 Jonathan Woodside is listed as First Sergeant, John Woodside and Andrew Yeager as Privates in Captain Martin Weaver's Company. In 1779 Jonathan woodside spent two months and three days in active service in Captain Caldwell's Company, Second Batt., Lancaster County militia.) 4 Thomas born 22 December, 1787; died 8 January 1872. Married Mary Yeager 1812 5 John William born 8 June 1799 6 Isaac born 11 May 1806, died 23 February 1884 7 Mary Jane married Simon Sallada 8 Eleanor born 25 February 1797 married Messner 9 Ann born 12 August 1801, married Sallada 10 Margaret born 9 September 1803, married John Shott. James Woodside in 1767 applied for a patent to land in Upper Paxton Township near Berrys Mountain; Jonathan in 1775; and Johhn in 1792, the three properties adjoining. As John was only seven years old when James applied, that "James" could not have been John's son. Although Dr. Yeager's book lists James and Jonathan as John's sons, I suspect that James, John and Jonathan were brothers, which would fit my mother's story that three brothers came here from North Ireland.. Nathan applied for a warrant to land in Washington Township in 1814. He could have been John's son. Of course, John may have named a son after his father or two sons after their uncles. Although official land records are strong evidence of the claim to the land onthe dates indicated, many of the early settlers occupied the lands years before applying for patents." page 177 Shela Norton Greenlaw from Clayton, California Paulpell61@aol.com wrote: > Thanks Shela, > This is great information you sent... > The story of Mary Jane being captured by Indians...(I have heard)... > John Woodside my gr-gr-gr-gr-gr grandfather was a Revolutionary War > Patriot...here is a link to check out if you wish (I am working on it and > haven't finished it yet)... > http://hometown.aol.com/paulpell61/myhomepage/heritage.html > I am decended through Jonathan Woodside who married Elizabeth Shell and then > their daughter Mary Ann Woodside married George McEliece (who was my gr-gr-gr > grandfather) and then their daughter Anna married J.
