Could someone tell me where they got the birthdate of abt: 1821 NC/SC/GA for Isham Woodall? As I read it in 1850 Census NC it states: James G. Woodall: 50 Sarah: 48 Troy: 18 Isham: 16 Ira: 14 This would put Isham's birth year at abt: 1834. 1860 Census NC., it states: James Woodall: 60 Sarah Woodall: 58 Isom Woodall: 26 Martha Woodall: 15 Ira Woodall: 24 Elizabeth Woodall: 14 Looks like the same family, but here Isom Woodall B: abt 1834. So were Isham & Isom twins? Where was Isom in 1850 census? I'm really confused and really would like the proof that Isham was born 1821 NC. Some have Isham Woodall born 1821 NC/GA. Where in Georgia or SC did you find this proof. Something else to think about: Info from Margaret Woodall Howard & Patsy Patterson who have done extensive work on this Woodall line. Isham Woodall's son Zachariah Woodall B; Feb 18, 1865 Morgan Co., Al. talked to his daughter Sadie Woodall Flippo B: Dec 7, 1897 D: May 19, 1970. I quote: Sadie said that Zachariah always talked about the 3 brothers that came to this country from Ireland. He always talked about the other two but never talked about his father Isham. Unquote: This tells me that Isham came here with his two brothers from Ireland. Patsy Patterson can varify this story I beleive. She descends from Zack Woodall. 1860 Census Decalb Co., Al. Isham Woodall: 39 1870 Census Blount Co., Al. Isham Woodall 50 1880 census Blount Co., Al. Isham Woodall: 59 Looks like he was born abt. 1821, but where? Thanks, Glenda
