In light of the recent controversary over whether it was the last battle of the Colonial Wars or the first of the Revolutionary War, I thought some of you might be interested in the point of view expressed in 1877 in an old set of Johnson's New Universal Cyclopaedia since some of our ancestors were at the Battle of Point Pleasant. Text: A non importation agreement wass very generally signed by Virginia merchants in 1765. The imports of Virginia and Maryland from Great Britain at that time was $3,186,952. But it was not until the accession of Lord Dunmore as goernor in 1772 that the opposition to the measures of the British ministry began to be generally manifested. Lord Dunmore aggravated the difficulties which his predecessor had striven to allay. He became so obnnoxious to the people by his tyranny that he took refuge on board a British man-of-war off Yorktown, and in June of 1775 sailed down the river, and was declared by the general assembly to have abdicated his office. He subsequently attacked with a British and Tory force several towns along the coast, but was eventually driven South with heavy losses. In the Autumn of 1774 a battle occurred between the Indians, under Logan, Cornstalk, and other chiefs who were supposed to be under British influence, and a Virginian force of about 1200 men, at Point Pleasant on the Ohio River. The Indians were defeated, but Virginians sustained considerable losses. In May, 1776, a convention of delegates met in Williamsburg, issued a declartion of rights, and on the 12h of June adopted a State Constitutiion for the government of an independent state. (Virginia was not member of the first Colonial Congress of October 1765.) Dorothy

I'm sorry...the WOOD researcher I'm hoping to locate is Barbara Getchell not Gretchell. Thank you. Jeanne in Harrisburg, MO

Hi, Does anyone have a current e-mail (or snail-mail) for a WOOD researcher by the name of Barbara Gretchell? She posted her family info to the WOODS-list in May of 1998. Thank you. Jeanne in Harrisburg, MO

Dear Susan, EXTREMELY interested in your work on OK WOOD Census. By publishing, do you mean to the list? If not should we forward a query with regard to the specific name of interest? Mine is Agnes Priscilla WOOD/s, son (old enough for enumeration) James Harrison WOOD/s. An outstanding offer and much appreciated! Robin J.

I just completed a line by line check of the 1890 Oklahoma Territorial Census today. I have abstracted 66 Wood, Woods, Woodson, Woody that showed on this enumeration. I will be happy to share with anyone that would like this information. I will be publishing it, but it will take a while to get it all keyed in. BRETT WOODS, if you read this, I know you are very interested in Irish immigrants. I have a few on this enumeration. Email me and I'll give them to you Susan Wood Reynolds

December 31, 1863 Marcellus, M.H. Woods married Elizabeth Eckhardt in Amherst County VA. Court house records show Marcellus was born in Fayette County WVA and the couple would live in Nicholas County WVA. Marcellus parents were William R. and Lavina? C. Woods. Anyone have anything on this couple? Thanks, Doug Cooper Doug Cooper 4115 Crab Orchard Rd.

Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone has any information on an Elijah who was the son of Sarah Woods and Willis Breazeale. Sarah Woods was the daughter of Archibald Woods and Isabella Gass. I have a legal description that says "The children's names extracted from Willis Breazeale's will dated 6 Nov. 1794, proved 25 March 1795 in Abbeville District, South Carolina, recorded Book 1, Page 124." Would anyone know those children's names? Also would anyone know how I could find out what's on page 124 in that book? Any information on Archibald Woods and Isabella Gass would be appreciated. Thank you. patinfla@brevard.net

My gggrandmother Elizabeth Jane Woods-b. between 1851 and 1854, shows up in the Henry County Kentucky 1860 census living with tow of her sisters in the household of a Cathorine Thurman, not real sure who this woman was and still have no idea who Elizabeth's parents were.
