    1. Woods, Lynch and Fox Families TN circa 1840-70
    2. Brett Woods
    3. I was wondering if someone could offer some insight into the following families, and perhaps help me straighten out some of the familial relationships. And please indulge me, as this seems rather confusing. 1. In Jefferson County TN, on 11 Oct 1859, Elizabeth Ann Fox married an Elihu Lynch. 2. In Williamson County TN, on 2 Feb 1843, Nancy Fox married a Joseph Woods. 3. On the 1880 Greene County TN census my ggrandfather James H. Woods (b SC ABT 1847) is shown with a wife Elizabeth Fox (b TN ABT 1840). Also living in the household (and indicated to be a sister-in-law) was a Mary Fox (b. TN ABT 1846). Elizabeth and Mary are the daughters of Isaac Fox (b TN ABT 1796) and Rachael Craddick. Isaac's father was Andrew Fox (b. Culpepper VA ABT 1742). Keep in mind that the names Elizabeth and Nancy seem to run rampant throughout the Fox family. 4. Now, the final stroke. James H. Woods' oldest sister was named "Lynch" Woods, (b Spartanburg SC abt 1846). Both James' and Lynch's father was a Henry J. Woods (b ABT 1826 in NC). Their mother (last name unknown) was known both as Mary H and Polly on later censuses. Perhaps she was a Lynch? I haven't a clue. In any event, if anyone knows anything about this group, please let me know. Since Henry is my gggrandfather, I really would appreciate any information that may help me identify his parentage. Thanks for any assistance. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico
