Searching for Martha Woods m. to Jackson M. Stiltner. I have a death certificate from Webster County, WV. for a Pricy Arthur on Feb. 25, 1923 (Which is my great-grandmother.) on the record it shows Martha WOODS as mother & Jackson Stiltner as father. I am still searching the census records for them and my great-grandmother and have still turned up nothing at this time. If anyone has any information for me regarding any of these names please let me know. Maybe I can search in another direction. Thanks, Faith blount@netnet.net

Ok.. once again I'm on a hot trail. lol.. I bet you guys hate me. I have been given this information but think it's good. The children for Archibald and Frances "Fanny" Hill married 5 June 1806 in Madison Co Ky. were David H. 1826, Elizabeth 1823, John, Nellie, Nancy, and Patsy. The Elizabeth looks VERY good to be my Martha Elizabeth Woods that married James Rolls Barry Co. Mo. 1838. The sister Patsy works into an old family story and James and Martha named their first girl Frances Elizabeth. Is there anyone out there that has a marriage for Elizabeth Woods? Please tell me that you don't.. I want this to be my connection so badly. But.. like all others.. I would like the correct person in my file. Thank you for looking. I know I've been a pain. You all have been so very helpful and if this is indeed the Martha I seek, you have handed me another generation... what more can I say.. you are wonderful!!!!! Rick Roles

Does anyone out there have any information on an Archy Wood listed in the 1830 Wilson Co. Tennesse census? Yes, It's true, I'm still grasping at straws. lol I see that this Wood has a daughter the right age to be the Martha Woods that married James Roles in Barry Co. Mo. 1838. I know I know.. but I just couldn't help asking. :) Thanks in advance for any information you might have. Rick Roles

Does anyone out there in Woods land have a Martha Woods b ABT 1811 Mercer Co. Kentucky in their database. I have her parents as Andrew Woods b 1760 Botetout Co. Virginia and Mary Polly McGee. I have Andrew's parents as Archibald Woods b 11 May 1706 and Mary Brookman b 1725. What I'm looking for is a marriage and children for this Martha Woods. As I'm sure you all know by now.... I'm trying to find the Martha Woods that married James Roles in Barry Co. Mo. 1838. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed. Rick Roles

Emily, My family came to Johnson Co., IN. I just looked through some of my info, and don't find a Patrick Woods yet. Do you know where your Woods family was before Gibson Co.? What are your dates, etc.? Maybe we can find a connection. This is a very large family. Trish "Emily I. Matthews" wrote: > Trish, > Where did your people come to in IN ?

Rick, Sorry, I forgot to mention that the Martha I told you about probably was too young to be your Martha. The marriage info you gave would have put this Martha at about 12 years old. Martha's father Archibald Woods also had a sister Martha, but I don't have a DOB. Since I have at least 2 Martha Woods in this family, I just thought it might be worth looking into since many families repeat given names.

Rick, I don't have all of the info in on my computer right now, but I have a Martha Woods b. Jan. 10, 1826 (probably in Mercer County, KY) -- dau. of Archibald Woods b. 1801 and Martha (nee Huffman) Hill b. 1792. I do remember that some of this Woods family moved to MO, but I am not sure exactly where. My direct line came to Indiana. Trish Melton, IN Apollo wrote: > After close scrutiny..

Is there anyone out there who has information on William and Sussanah Wood of Abbeville S.Carolina. William was born around 1744-1752 in Virginia and died in Abbeville in 1804.His will was probated at that time.Sussanah McKinley Woods died in 1829 and her will was probated at that time. They had a large family.Has anyone researched this family? Does anyone know anything about Robert W Wood b abt 1784. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Russell

Anyone have any Wood/Woods roots in PA around the 1700s? Thanks. Laura A. in NC

After close scrutiny.. I'm forced to broaden my search criteria. I'm now looking for a Woods girl Kentucky born around 1820. Her given name was Martha Elizabeth and she married a James Roles in Barry Co. Mo. 1838. If any of you out there have a Woods girl that could possibly be Martha I'd sure be beholdin to you for the information. I'm just clueless as to where to look next. Thanks in advance for any information and your time. Rick Roles

Hi Chuck, My g grandfather was born in Shelby Cnty. MO. in 1857. ( I think ). My Henry Corsan Wood/Woods married Minnie Florence Tuttle on Feb. 1, 1887 in Shelby Cnty. My problem: where were they buried????? The more you learn about the past, the more questions we have. Good luck, Bonnie

Can you imagine my excitement when I ran across this list and found hundreds of messages posted over the last five years about Archibald Woods? I read until nearly blind, but alas, the Archibald I'm looking for is not the Woods that so many of you have researched. Such a shame it is that I can't fit my Archibald into that family from Ireland... such a rich heritage! My name is Rick Roles and a direct descendent of James Roles who married Martha Elizabeth Woods in Barry Co. Mo. in 1838. Her father was Archibald Woods and lists his birth place as Ireland. By census estimations I have Archibald's birth circa 1780. I believe his Wife was Francis, a Kentuckian born, the same age as Archibald. Their daughter Martha Elizabeth was also Kentucky born circa 1820. I'm hoping against hope that someone on this list has some information on this Archibald Woods. I would love to fit into the grand family but would be elated to have information on this Archibald no matter the heritage... after all.. he's family. :) Thank you very much for helping a frustrated genealogist. rick roles

Hi there, Good to see you back on line, Dorothy. What names are you researching and in what part of the country? Maybe someone can help you on your quest. Ancestry.com is free up until Dec. 21 and certainly worth a try. Does anyone have any information concerning my g grandfathers middle name, CORSAN? His full name, Henry Corsan Woods. A curious name... I need to know how to find out where both g grandparents are buried. I sent for their death certificates in MO. but because I don't know the exact date's, they sent my money back and said to try again. I tried NE. where they lived and homesteaded and no luck there either. 20 below here in the middle of Montana, hope it's warm where ever you are, Bonnie

Is anyone else researching a Wood/Woods child that was orphaned about 1880 that might have been living anywhere in America? Has anyone got a Wood/Woods child that might have ridden the "Orphan Train" west between 1880 and 1885? I would sure like to share notes! Sheri at lequia@elite.net

DON'T MESS WITH GRANNY An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of religious service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop - Acts 2:38!" (..turn from your sin...). The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All she did was yell a scripture to you." "Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AXE and two 38's".

I have a Charles Woods who died in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, born around 1750 in the US. He was a surgeon. His son died in Philadelphia in 1857. His granddaughter was educated (1839-1842) at the Moravian School in Bethlehem. Does anyone have any of the WOOD/WOODS line in Philadelphia around 1750 or before? Thank you very much. Laura A. in NC
