My Woods query for the weekend: Does anyone have a clue as to what family a William Woods, born ABT 1792 in NC descends? William shows up on the 1860 Spartanburg County SC census (Fort Prince P.O.) with a wife named Elizabeth born ABT 1791, also in NC. There are no Woodses whatsoever on the 1850 Spartanburg County Census, and the only Woods "head of household" on the 1860 Spartanburg County Census are this William, and my elusive gggrandfather Henry J. Woods (b NC 1826). As both William and Henry, seemingly from nowhere, appear in Spartanburg SC in time for the 1860 Census, and they both were born in NC, perhaps they are somehow connected? Or perhaps it it just another coincidence. Thanks for any help. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

I have just spotted a discrepancy between two WFT files containing John Woods b. 1763. One file states John WOODS b. 1763 m. Mary Margaret Cain d. 1838, one son Hugh Woods b ca 1775. John given as son of Hugh Woods & Mary Dunnegan. The second file gives John Woods b. 1763 d. 5 Jun 1838 Orange Co, NC; s/o John Woods & Anne Louey Mebane. Can anyone prove John Woods' parentage?

As the quest continues to sort out the late 1700s and early 1800s NC Woodses, does anyone have any information on the family of the John Woods who married Polly Hunt in Orange County NC in 1811 (this according to LDS). John was the son of John Woods and Margaret Mebane. Also, if anyone happens to know the parents of the father John (who married Margaret) that would fill in a significant blank in my material. Thanks, as always, for any input. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

Each roll is on one CD and there are 12,555 rolls of film.

The image can be changed from black on white to white on black which also helps read difficult pages. Any part of the page may be blocked and copied. The page even rotates for ease of reading the printed column headings. The census page numbers run down the left side of the screen and all you do is click and view.

Many of these children lost all connection with their families and birth records, becoming orphans in a new world. An ongoing project of The British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa is to extract evidence of these "home children" from ships passenger lists at the National Archives in Ottawa. But until last year, the lists were available only through 1919. Finally, the National Archives of Canada was successful in gaining the release of ships passenger lists from the Department of Human Resources for the years between 1920 and 1935. Write BIFHSGO, P.O. Box 38026, Ottawa, ON K2C 1N0, Canada for the current status of this undertaking.

Looking for information on the family of. Alexander Woods, born about 1743 in Ireland. He was living before 1776 in Albemarle, VA, and served in the military between 1776 and 1781 in VA. He married Jane Wilson in about 1760. Jane was born about 1745 in Ireland. Alexander Woods and Jane Wilson had the following children: Alexander WOODS II. Isabella WOODS. Rebecca WOODS. John WOODS was born after 1760. He resided in ,, PA. William WOODS was born after 1760. Thomas WOODS was born after 1760. Robert WOODS was born after 1760. Please note that I am aware of Alexander II's son, John, marrying a Sarah Ann Lynch of Newberry SC. I am trying to identify other Woods-Lynch marriages that produced a Henry J. Woods (b. 1826). In the 1860 Spartanburg County SC Census, Henry indicated his family to be the following: Father: Henry J. Woods (b. NC 1826) (a later census indicates a SC birth) Wife: M. H. Woods (b SC 1822) This may be a Mary H. (later indicated as Polly) Children: Nathan J Woods (b SC 1851) Lynch E. Woods (b SC 1846) NOTE: Since this is a female, I would assume this comes from a prior Woods-Lynch family inter-marriage somewhere. James H. Woods (b SC 1848) (my great-grandfather) John B. Woods (b SC 1849) William B. Woods (b SC 1850) Thomas J. Woods (b SC 1854) Harvey S(?) Woods (b SC 1856) Muryl C. Woods (b SC 1858) pretty illegible Robert H(?) Woods (b SC 1858) Accordingly, I am particularly interested in any of Andrew and Jane's sons that may have moved to the Carolinas (Robert, Thomas and Robert) and married into a Lynch Family. Thanks for any help. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

Oops! I forgot to take into consideration the WOOD surname. There are none in the census records, but there are three marriage bonds: Wood, William Boggan, Jane 7 Feb 1781 Wood, William Burton, Anna 29 Jan 1795 Wood, William Cate, Nancy 22 Mar 1796 Now we have six William WOOD/WOODS to match with 3 in the 1810 Census. I see only two William WOODS in the 1800 Census; by the 1840 Census there is only a William H. WOOD in the Southern District. In previous censuses the other William WOODS were enumerated in the North District. Fay

Can either of you -- or anyone out there--trace your lines to the 1890's, 1910's? I'm looking for info regarding __?__ WOOD who was the 2nd husband of "Aunt Eva". Here's what I "know": Eva HICKS was born ca. 1865 in Readsboro, VT. Her first marriage was to Gregory(?)MCGREGORY; they had 2 children (according to a family photograph taken in Springfield, MA about 1893). The older one's name was Wayne, who was born 8 Jul 1888. Eva was living with him in the eastern part of MA when she died (obit isn't dated). Eva's second husband was _?_ WOOD. I have no information about him, whatsoever. That's where you come in. Please reply if you think you connect!! Eva's third husband was Ora KNOWLTON. My Mom has no recollection of him from her childhood, only Aunt Eva with the last name of Knowlton, living in Springfield, MA. That would have been in the '30's. Thanks in advance for your help! -Sally

Has anyone nailed down the several William WOODS enumerated in the 1810, 1820 & 1830 Orange County, NC, census records? There are 3 in the 1810 census; I am particularly interested in the one enumerated on page 113, six households from Alex Patton: Wm Woods 2 3 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 The other two Williams I do not have a breakdown of their households. I am assuming that one of the three must be William & Eleanor Lindsey Woods, but not likely the one shown above since he was 26-45 yrs old and William (Eleanor) Woods would have been approx. 51 yrs old. William WOODS 1759 - 1830 .+Eleanor LINDSEY 1759 - 1844 .....2 Mary WOODS 1782 - WFT Est. 1811-1876 .........+William CROSSETT WFT Est. 1759-1786 - WFT Est. 1811-1872 .....2 Anne WOODS 1785 - WFT Est. 1786-1879 .....2 Elizabeth WOODS 1788 - 1860 .........+Thomas TAYLOR WFT Est. 1768-1796 - WFT Est. 1821-1881 .....2 Martha WOODS 1790 - 1836 .........+Joseph ALLISON WFT Est. 1765-1791 - WFT Est. 1815-1878 .....2 Margaret WOODS 1793 - WFT Est. 1807-1887 .........+John SMITH WFT Est. 1776-1796 - WFT Est. 1810-1882 .....2 John Lindsey WOODS 1796 - 1874 .........+Martha White BALDRIDGE WFT Est. 1776-1802 - WFT Est. 1821-1891 .....*2nd Wife of John Lindsey Woods: .........+Margaret Allison WOODS 1810 - 1889 .....2 Ellen WOODS 1803 - 1878 .........+Robert REDDING WFT Est. 1786-1806 - WFT Est. 1820-1892 Likewise, these three marriage bonds may represent the three households enumerated: Woods, William ---, Linsey 1 Aug 1781 Woods, William Desern, Elizabeth 6 Aug 1803 Woods, William Faucett, Rachel 9 Dec 1809 The 1820 Census enumerates only two William Woods; Since William Woods who married Eleanor Lindsey did not die until 2 Nov 1830, I am presuming he is one of the two. The 1830 Census enumerates a William WOODS, SR and a William WOODS, JR. Again, since William Woods b. 1759 did not die until Nov 1830, I am guessing he may be the William Woods Sr. That would appear to mean William WOODS, Jr. enumerated in that census is very likely his son, UNLESS William b. 1759 did die before the census and this William Jr. is a son of one of the other two William WOODS who were married between 1800 - 1810. With all this in mind, is it possible that William Woods and Eleanor Lindsey had a son named William Jr.? Is it possible that William & Eleanor had children after Ellen b. 1803? Can anyone help me sort out which William is which in these census records? Does anyone know who the William is that died or migrated out of the county before 1820? Is it possible that the Wm Woods enumerated on p 113 of the 1810 census is William and Elizabeth Desern Woods? They appear to be the most likely candidates as parents of my Nancy Woods b. 1806 and possibly the mysterious William Jr. who appears in the 1830 census. Can anyone furnish me with a breakdown of the family groups? Any help will be greatly appreciated-- Fay Clark

Can anyone recommend a good genealogy library in Danbury, CT? I'll be visiting in September for a few days and want to do some checking! Thanks for the help Sandy Wood swood@da.co.orange.ca.us

I surely could use some help from a veteran WOODS researcher. I have Matthew WOODS m. to Margaret FAUCETT 12 Nov 1795. I could not find him in the 1800 Orange County Census, but I did find a Margarett. My Nancy WOODS b. 1806 supposedly is their daughter, however I find no trace of Matthew or Margaret in Orange County census records 1810-1840. Nancy married Hemeleus (Hymelius, Hymolus, Hymlous) PATTON in 1824 in Orange County. Matthew also appears on the marriage bond for William Craig and Sarah Woods 10 Jan 1795. Is it possible Matthew died before 1800 & Margaret remarried? Nancy's age was taken from census records, so could be off. A PATTON researcher has identified Matthew's parents as John Woods b. abt 1730 and Margaret <unk>. Any help would be very much appreciated. We also tie in with Susanna/Susannah WOODS whose sister Elizabeth m. Samuel R. Woods. Fay Clark
