After reviewing the online Chaukey's material, I ran across the entries that to relate to the following individuals who evidently left PA (moving to Augusta County) owing a Samuel Smith money. Although the suit appears to have eventually been settled, it raises some questions. These are the particular citations: NOTE: The "ditto" is with respect to the phrase "debtor to Samuel Smith" January 18. William Robinson's account, debtor to Samuel Smith, 1739 Richard Wood's ditto, ditto, 1738. Mrs. Margaret McDowell, ditto, 1737--June 14. Mrs. Mary McDowell, ditto, 1737--January 17, three yards ribbon to sister. Mr. Michael Woods, ditto, 1738--October 7, one dozen catechisms. 1739--Credit by six foxes, seven raccoons, and one beaver. Samuel Woods, ditto. 1734--11 1/4 yards masquerade, 31/; 7 1/2 yards sagathee, 32/6. 1735--June 26, credit by 36/ discounted with his son, Richard, by Michael Woods. Michael Woods, formerly of Pextunk, ditto, 1733--February 12; 1734--March 28. My question pertains to the Samuel Woods. Does this indicate that Richard Woods was his son, and that perhaps Samuel had died and Michael was resolving the account? -- OR -- Does it seem to indicate that Samuel was also a son of Michael? -- OR -- Were Samuel and Michael brothers? Further, what were the relationships, if any, of Margaret and Mary McDowell? I realize that Magadelina Woods married Captain John McDowell. Were Margaret and Mary their children? Thanks for any comments. Brett F. Woods
