I have numerous Woods from Rowan Co, NC on my website. All are descendants of Samuel Woods I b. c1710 in Ireland and settled in Rowan Co., NC. There is more than one Woods family in Rowan Co though and they may or may not be related. All my information is from "A Woods Family History" by Elbert Weyman Woods. It is well researched and documented. http://www.my-ged.com/fair
