    3. Looking to fill in the gaps on the following family line: William W. WOODS, born Feb 1835 in ?, died March 20, 1918 in Durham, NC. Married Martha L. CLINTON, born 1838 in Orange Co., NC, died Feb 28, 1913. They married in Orange Co., Jan 1858 with A. Wilkerson as a witness. Martha was the daughter of Rachel VICKERS and Jesse CLINTON. Children of William W. and Martha Clinton WOODS: * Harris WOODS born 1860 (per Orange Co. 1860 Census) * ? WOODS died prior to 1900 (per 1900 Orange CO Census) * ? WOODS died prior to 1900 (per 1900 Orange CO Census) * Jesse Harrison WOODS, born June 8, 1860 in Orange Co., NC, died Sept 27, 1935 in Durham, NC. Buried Rose of Sharon Cemetery in Durham, NC. Married (1) Martha Ella Pickett on Dec 12, 1880. Married (2) Ada Dollar on Sep 15, 1918 * Ailsey C. WOODS (female) born about 1861 * Lou WOODS (female) born about 1868 * Joseph R. WOODS, born Sep 5, 1870, died June 18, 1923 in Durham Co.NC (Are Harris and Jesse the same person? Or could they have been twins?) Jessee Harrison WOODS married Martha Ella PICKETT (daughter of Elbert Washington PICKETT and Martha Helon RIGSBEE) on Dec 12, 1880. Martha Helon RIGSBEE died 1916 in Durham Co., NC. Children of Jesse Harrison and Martha Ella Picket WOODS (all born in Durham Co., NC): * Unknown WOODS, born and died prior to 1900 per 1900 census. * William Washington Woods, Sr. born Oct 26, 1882, died Apr 22, 1968 in Guilford Co., NC. Married Lillie or Lizzie DICKERSON in 1923. * Irena WOODS born Oct 1887. Married L. W. JONES prior to 1915. * Effie C. WOODS, born July 1890. Married ? DICKERSON. Died between 1910 and 1935. * Hubert Lee Woods, born Dec 19, 1892, died April 12, 1948 in Durham, NC. Married Ethel Mary CARRINGTON on Nov 23, 1911. * Della WOODS, born April 1, 1895. Married E. (Evlyn?) WILKINS. * Stella WOODS, born April 1, 1895. Died June 14, 1919. Married L. G. or J. G. LATTA. (Probably died from complications of childbirth. Buried next to baby whose birth and death dates are June 13, 1919) * Berbie B. WOODS, born March 1898. Married Annie TAYLOR. * Martha Espie WOODS, born after 1900. Married ? CHAMBERS. Children of Jesse and Ada Dollar WOODS: * Clara Bell WOODS, born Jan 1920. Married James MORRIS * Baby Boy WOODS, born and died May 1, 1922. According to Jesse WOODS' obit in 1935: "He was survived by his wife: Mrs. Ada Woods, 2 sons: W. W. and H. L. Woods, 2 daughters: Mrs. Espie Chambers and Miss Clara Bell Woods, and 1 sister: Mrs. J. W. Pool all of Durham County. Then, in Hubert WOODS' obit in 1948: "He is survived by his wife: Ethel Carrington, daughter: Mrs. Harry Hutchins, 3 sons: Crawford, Vernon, and Herbert all of Durham, 1 sister Eppie Woods of Washington, D. C. and 1 brother William H. Woods of Durham" I think it is not unreasonable to assume (at least until death certs, etc can be gathered) that all Jesse Woods' children from his first marriage -- except William, Hubert and Espie - died prior to 1935. I am curious about Espie (Eppie) emerging in the latter obit as a WOODS again.
