The George Woods who was living in Northumberland County, PA at the time of the 1790 Federal Census with (1,3,5,0,0) and who appears in the 1800 Federal Census of Centre Co., PA with (10301-00201) is believed to be the son of John Woods, Esq. of West Pennsborough Twp., Cumberland Co., PA who died testate in 1790. This George Woods lived in a part of Northumberland County that became part of Centre County in 1800, specifically Penns Twp.. This George Woods was written-up in the "History of Centre and Clinton Counties, Penn." by John Blair Linn in 1883. The book was reprinted in 1975 by J.S. Lippincott & Co. of Philadelphia. On page 290 concerning Centre County is the following: "About 1774 George Woods ascended Sinking Creek and settled near the base of Egg Hill. and upon the same place now occupied by his grandson, George. He built a fulling-mill, undoubtedly the first one in the valley, at which he worked for a great many years. It is said that he also combined the manufacture of cow-bells with his business. He often said he travelled through a great many States, but never came upon such a dense wilderness as presented itself to his sight upon his first advent in Penn's valley. He died Aug. 14, 1819, aged 73. Margaret his wife died Mar. 23, 1822, aged 73. His sons were John and MATTHEW Woods. The latter built Farmer's mills in 1815, which he sold to the Cookes and then removed to the State of Michigan. One of George Woods' daughters married James Hutchinson. George Woods a son of John Woods is now living at the old place." John Woods died Oct. 14, 1821 ae 46, and George and John Woods are both buried in the Presbyterian Church cemetery at Centre Hill. [p. 410]. I believe that John Woods, Esq. came from Lancaster County east of the Susquehanna River prior to 1750 when he first arrived from northern Ireland. George W. Page
