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
