Although my primary interest is the Henry Woods indicated below, I have included the names of some other children in this line as, at least to me, they do not seem familiar. In any event, I'm trying to connect the Henry J. Woods who was born in NC (probably Orange County) in 1826. LDS indicates his father was a James Woods, also born in NC (in ABT 1803?). Henry's mother (James' wife) was allegedly named Lavina and a Lavina/Lavinia shows up on both the 1830 and 1840 Orange County NC Censi. Henry's year of birth comes off the 1860 Spartanburg County SC Census. Henry's oldest son James H. Woods (b SC 1848). I am wondering if Henry could be descended from somewhere in the Thomas Woods line. Thomas was born about 1730 in Orange County and died about 1800. LDS indicates he had the following children: James (b 1758); Edward (1760); Joseph (1755-1833); William (1762); Blayton (1764); Henry (1766); Thomas (1768); Mary (1778); Heaney (1774); (there is no indication of gender) Lydia (1776); Elizabeth (1770); and finally Mildred (1772-1822). Additional LDS information indicates that Thomas' son Joseph (1755-1833) married a Mary Leathers in 1778 and had the following children: Joseph (b1781); James (1786); Henry (1780); Solomon (1782-1830); Elizabeth (1785); Sukey (1787); Mary (1789); Nancy (1791); and William (1784-1819). Regarding my query, since, from what I know, the name went from James, to Henry, to James, perhaps the James (b ABT 1803) has a father by the name of Henry? Also, if someone has some information that disagrees with the above family groups, please advise me, as I would like to maintain accurate information. Thanks for any help. Brett F.
