BUMPASS, Thomas P. married WOODRUFF, Mary Jane on 22 Dec 1836 in Wmson CO TN their bdm was Howell S. Woodruff who I believe was her father. Howell S. Woodruff was said to have been married first to an unknown woman and had children, he then married Elizabeth Laughlin on 5 June 1820 in Wmson CO TN with Robt W. Woodruff as the bdm. From research it appears that they were brothers from Madison CO AL. Howell was on the 1820 & 1840 Wmson CO Tn federal censuses. He transferred property to Thomas Bumpass in 1845 in said county. To confuse matters, there was another Howell Woodruff who married Mary Malone on 11 Dec 1827 with James Brewer as bdm. I think this may have been one of Howell S. Woodruff's children by his 1st marriage. I would like contact with anyone researching the Woodruff and Bumpass lines in Wmson, Davidson, and Rutherford Co Tn. Thanks, Bettye
