I ran across the following entry detailing a county census enumeration in Ohio. Does anyone have any information on the following group? 1825 Census of Darke County, Ohio [Males Over 21] Anthony Woods, Benjamin F. Woods, Henry Woods, James Woods and a Moses Woods. Thanks for any help. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

Patience is a virtue and haste makes mistakes. I was so anxious to answer that I put 19 instead of 1870. I better take a pill and rest }:o) Joanne

Hi'yall, Well maybe I can get it right this time. The date in my previous letter was my Grandfathers birth date instead of Frederick's (his father). So to unscramble the mess, the one listed in Jackson Co., born in 1834 WAS my G-Grandfather and his son Owen was my Grandfather. In the 1970 census he would be about 35 or 36 depending whether the census was taken before or after his b'day. Now I need to know how to access the Ohio census records. I'm learning how to do this. Be patient with the "old lady" and thanks for the first lead in a long time!

The 1880 Federal Census would confirm which one was the father of Joan's Frederick Woods! It would also give the state of birth of young Frederick's grandfathers and grandmothers, which would help a lot to taking her Woods genealogy back even further. George W. Page

Hello all, This is just a short e-mail to introduce myself and record my interests in case someone else is researching the same branch of the WOODS family. I am Dan Daniel resident in Durban South Africa. My maternal grandfather was a WOODS, hence my interest in the WOODS family. I am also researching my paternal line which is Daniel. The progenitor of the WOODS family I am researching was James WOODS born 1801 in (town unknown) England, died 27 January 1847 Brixton London England, buried Norwood cemetery Brixton London England, occupation cheesemonger. He married Ann Pontifex on 31 January 1833 at All Saints Church Edmonton Middlesex England. Ann Pontifex was born 14 April 1810 Mitcham Surrey and died 25 January 1856 presumably also in Brixton London England, buried Norwood cemetery Brixton London England. They produced seven children, one of whom came to South Africa: Edwin Woods, born 21 October 1844 Brixton Rise Lambeth England and died 25 May 1901 Pretoria South Africa. My sources for the above are both primary and secondary and are available. Is this line being researched by any other member of the list? I look forward to responses.

JOHN WOODS was born Abt. 1810, and died May 08, 1881. He married MARY MC MANASON ?????. He married ELIZABETH (BETSY) QUIGLEY October 19, 1849 in St Thomas. Children of JOHN WOODS and MARY are: i. BRIDGET WOODS, b. 1832. ii. HUGH WOODS, b. 1837. iii. JOHN WOODS, b. 1838. iv. SUSAN WOODS, b. 1840. v. ANNA WOODS, b. 1842. vi. SARAH WOODS, b. 1845; d. 1863, Michigan.

I have a copy of "Genealogy of the Woods Family, 1649-1895" by Lucy Alexander Embrey. (1940) It is signed by Lucy, dated December 24, 1940, and inscribed to a Mrs. J.A(?). Rice. It is, as they say, a modest volume (about 40 pages) and details the family of John Woods, the son of William Woods and Susannah Wallace. Unfortunately, it also relies heavily on Woods-McAfee. Consequently, there are some errors in the early lines. Aside from the above the line goes like this: John Woods and Abigail Estill Charles Duncan and Mary Woods then down to surnames: Modena, Embrey finally to Lucy. If you happen to know of anyone who might want this book, let me know. I'm not trying to sell it...it's free. But it's not my line so, if not for historical fact, perhaps someone would like it as a family memento. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO Robin at Rmgalage@cs.com Does anyone have a Michael Woods in the family? He was from Ireland and was b. about 1830. He was in NY by 1855 when his son, John was born. He was married to Ann who was from England. Michael and Ann's children that I have found are John, Rosanna and Thomas. They settled in Brooklyn. Please email with any info. Thanks Robin Newburgh, NY

PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO Kathy Weichel <katsew@hintonet.net> Searching for info about William B. Woods born 1822 in IN. His wife was Mary Ann Taylor born 1828 Clark Co.IL. They were married on July 19,1845 in Clark Co.IL. Listed on the 1850 Clark Co.IL census in the next house was William Woods age 63, b.GA, and his wife Rebecca age 41 b.VA. I am trying to determine if this is William B.'s parents. I would be happy to furnish the Woods line to anyone interested.

I will be leaving soon and am anxious to return this family treasure back to interested family members. I have no addresses for Canadian members of the family, though I do have a copy of a family tree compiled by a Beulah Woods sometime in the 80s.
