.. 1942 :PREFACE.

The first edition of the "Sketch of the James Woods Fam­ ily or Ohio," a :pamphlet of sane seventy-one pages, was printed in 1923. The basis tor that eQition was a thirteen page manu­ script regarding our ancestors that was ,,r1 tten by Colonel Joseph Jackson ;·iooas (my father) on December 14, 1880, at Moi;itane., Labette County, Kansas, to his ne:phe,;, Hobert N. t,oods of ~a~uoketa, Ja11kson County, Iowa. It was in obe­ dience to a request 01' Robert's tha"t he make a written re­ cord of tacts uhich he had related to Robert about ~he fflilily. The family has oeen 1·ortunate in having such an account, tho it is regretted that Colonel \iooa.s aid. not go more in\~ detail regarding some of the state~ents in the account.

Later additions were begun in 1912 by Nellie (\;oods) i'hedon, after l~arning of the recor~ left by her rather, and were secured thro consulting histories of Brown ana Clermont Countie~, Ohio, anci. other hi.stories, by a tr:fp to Ohio, correspona.e;ice with various county and c1 ty· of'fi­ cials, librarians, newspapers, and with many members or -the family scattered about the country, ana pe~sonal in­ terviews with some of the ala.est ones. "Finis" has been written tor many of them ere this.

The added data for this second edit~on were found by ma.king another trip to Ohio in 1936, searching of court house records at Georgetown and Batavia, Oh1o, searching the U.S. Census records 1.n "i,'ashington, D.C., secur!ng :pen­ sion records, and much correspondence tn obtaining the family accounts brought down to date. Some fe.L1j_lies have been tound, tho a few remain in oblivion. The assistance, which has been given by many, is greatly appreciated. To Ray W. Hill, M.D., of- Osceola, Nebraska, a vote of thanks is due from all the descendants, for his part in securing the :proof ot the Revolutionary ;;ar service of James Woods. A desir.e to present his mother with a D.A.n. membership as a birthday gift, led him to have the neces­ sary research made to establish the ~root, making member­ ship in the S •.A.R. and the D.A..R. possible for those who a.esire it.

A great debt of gratit·ude is due from all to Maxwell P. Woods of Denison, Texas, collaborator in this work, tor his self-iIIll?osed task or restoring the old family burial plot on the James \foods farm south of Georgeto,"1n, Ohio. It required three trips to Ohio to accom1>lish thi.s. From the wreckage, the stone fence around it has been rebui~t

V Vi THE JAMES WOODS FAMILY and an iron ga~e installed, the tombstones reset in con­ crete, and the D.A.R. marker of James Woods set in place. It is earnestly hoped that sone descendant will see that this burial ~lace of our forebears is ~roperly cared for in the years to come. To Maxwell P. Woods credit is due for some of the his­ torical· part in this second edition, especially the ac­ count of the Cra.;ford can:paign in the Revolut.1 onary \/ar, aeouring the James \ioods deed records when in \.-asb.ington, Pennsylvania, eto. His help a.nd encouragement have great­ ly aided in presen~1ng this little book. For lheir assistance regarding the coat-of-arms, thanks are due to Mr.~. G. Harman ct Plainfield, New Jersey, ror·much research in the New York City Public Library, and to Mrs. E. B. &all, genealoGist of Los Angeles, Cali­ rorn1a. Errors are unavoidable ana we beg your indulgence ror an7 that may appear. Every effort has been made to se­ cure correctness in each account.

THE JAMES WOODS FAMILY

of

· PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO

THE \iOODSES m GREAT BRITAIN AND mELAND.

The tollowing is copied trom the "Woods-Mc.A.tee Memori­ al" which was published in 1905, the Rev. Neander M. Woods ot Louisville, Kentucky, being the author. "'Vihilst the name Woods is undoubtedly ~ngl:tsh, derived trom Anglo-Saxon (~udu), not allot the people who bear it have come ot pure English stock. Besides those te.m1- 11es which have for centuries made their homes 1n England, and are descended from the true English, there are at least tour other races or men, some ot whose representa­ tives are now called by this name. First, there are the '\~oodses whom we -find today in Scotland, whose ancestors generations back were English, but who crossed the border to d~ell among the Scotch, end became so thoroughly identified with them by marr1.age and long residence as to become indistinguishable from the dwellers to the north of the Tweed. Some ot these Anglo­ Scotch ~oodses in attertimes migrated, along with the un­ mixed Scotch, to the North ot Ireland; and, then, later on, to America; and they would naturally come to be re­ garded as Scotch-Irish, their English blood being almost entirely lost sight ot, even by themselves. Secondly, among the unhappy Huguenots who tled trom France during the period ot Catholic persecution, there were not a few families by the name ot DuBoise (Dubose), aome of whom, after their settlement in England, signal­ ized their complete expatriation from the land or their birth by adopting the English equivalent (Woods) tor the name they had formerly borµe as Frenchmen. Thirdlz, there are some Woodses now in America whose ancestors not tar back were German, and who were tonner­ ly oalled by the name ot Woltz, but who have seen fit to make their patronymic conform to their new place ot resi­ dence amongst English-speaking people. ~inallz, there are the numerous Irish Woodaes, whose an­ cestors tormerly were known by the Gaelic name of o• CQillte, but who exchanged it tor ihe bglish equivalent, Woods. These Woodses are, as a rule, pure Irish, and al­ most without exception, Roman Catholics. Thousands ot them-~• to be tound in the United States at the present time. • The particular branch ot the Woods family with which this volume is more especially concerned ia of pure En­ ~. or else ot An6lo-scotch, blood. That the Woodsea wirel>rotestanta, and mainl.y Presbyterian•, ~eems reason- 2 ably certain. Prior to 1650 they seem to have been con­ nected with the ~ngliah Established Church. Some facts are tairly estaolished. First, there oame to Ireland a certain English trooper, who was in the Cromwellian army or invasion in 1649, by the name of Woods. (Note--It has been found later that his name was John). Second, this irooper had a son, John Wooda, who about 1681, married a Miss Elizabeth Worsop. Third, this Miss Worsop was born November 15, 1656, and it 1s assumed as probable that the John Woods whom she married was born about 1654, not long after his rather had -.1th.drawn from Crom:well 's army and sett.led down to private life in Ireland. Fourth,. i~ is probable that John Woods' father came trom Yorkshire, England, and that he settled in one ot the three ·counties ot Fermanagh, Down or Meath. Fitth, it is most likely that the families of both John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop were Episcopalians, and ot pure English stock. Sixth; there are good reasons tor believing that the taniily ot which John Woods was the head was the ONLY ONE in Ireland ot the PROTESTA."'r? tai th. Seventh, Elizebeth Worao:p was undoubtedly a lady or gen­ tle birth, and directly descended from some families ot the highe~t standing in England. 'When and where John Woods and his wife died we have no means ot knowing, but the ~robability is that both had passed away before 1724. Eighth, the st1id John Woods and his wife El-iza.beth had at least one daughter and four sons, to-wit: Elizabeth, Michael, William, James and Andrew." In the year 1724 these four sons, with their widowed aister, Elizabeth ~allace, and a number ot their children, came to Pennsylvania, two-going later to Virginia and one to North Carolina. It a~~ears that John .and Eliza~~th l'oods had.·oth~r sons who did ~ migrate to America. TA~ Woodses and Wallace& were probably ~eopla ot culture and some little worldly goods. They were Diasenters and Pres­ byterians. THE liOODSES IN GREAT BRITAIN A..l\1D IRSL.AND

The record ot ANOTHER son ot John 1/oods, the trooper, is tound in Burke's, ~Landed Gentry," Vol. II, page 2267, 8th Edition (1894) titled, nwoods of Milverton.n LINEAGE JOHN WOODS, Esq. of Yorkshire ancestry, who_went to Ireland on military service at the time of. the Revolu­ tion, married Isabella Bruce of Scottish descent (Note-- Burke gives two or more branches/ or the Bruce family that migrated from Scotland to Ireland) and hed a son, Thomas ~oods, ~aq. ot Kilmeague, County Kildare, died August 9, 1754, ~arried Margaret O'Hara and had issue, Aram1nta and a son, George ~oods, Esq. ~r Dunshaughlin, County Meath and ot the City of DQblin, died May-30, 1781, married Decem­ ber 22, 1?37 to !!ary Wogan or Hugan, daughter end co­ heireas of Joh!l ~ogan o: Hugan Esq. ot Buddore, County Dublin, and b.ed issue, 1.

COATS OF AR1S OF THE 1.-oons FAl.$IES. Herewith two ~oods coats-of-arms are shown. They are very di!ferent, but a;parently used by the descendants or two sons of John v:oods, the Trooper, of the Yorkshire ~oods family, ~ho .. ent to Ireland during the Cromwellian invasion of 1649. It 1s :puzzling, in view or the :f'act that our toods fam­ ily was English, that our Arms should be shown in the Irish records. v;e have not found the date of the grant­ ing c:,f these arms. t·e know, though, that John t!oods, the Trooper, went into Ireland in 1649. They may have been granted to the family in England and possibly confirmed later by the College of Arms at Dublin.

The arms used by the line of Tho~as, son of John, the Trooper, nearest the de.scr:f_:ption given by Burke -are to be round in Fox-Davies, 11 .A.rmor:!al Fe.=iilies" (page 1495) and are herewith reproduced. It shows a double crest--a woodman or wild.man {both terms used}--and the tree of the shield, suggesting intermarriages between the descendants ot two sons of a family. Burke does not give the double crest.

The arms used by the line of John, son a:f John, the 4rrooper, in the "l,·oods-!!c.A.fee Memorial," :pr:!.nted in 1905, are also herewith reproduced. These arms and description were secured in 1892 by Colonel Charles A.B. ,·.-oods (a di­ rect descendant of Michael, before mentioned) from John 0 1.Hart of Dublin, Ireland, author of "Irish Pedigrees," etc. Under date or Oc~ober 18, 1926, from Louisiana, Missouri, Col~C.A.R. Woods gave this co~piler permission to use this coat-of-arms, if desired. He sa!d t~at it had cost him a n:pretty :penny" and was his to do exactly what he pleased with it. It comes down from the ancient O'Mealla pedigree which was Irish and Catholic.

A Coat-of-Arms is es.tablished by the Heralds' College and can be changed only by them.. A family inherits it as it stands. A Crest, however, ~ay be a matter ot individ­ ual choice. The _descendant may use a symbol, if he wish­ es, of something pertaining to his own life or experience, or something expressing his family. Originally, it is be­ lieved, all coats-of-arms had also, a Motto, supposedly expressing a family quality. THE WOODSES IN GP.EAT BRITAIN ..UID IRELAND 5

COMPARISON. The preceding pages from the "Woods-Mc.A.fee Memorial" were given because of certain statements which they con­ tain. First, "there are good reasons ror believing that the tamily ot which John v.-oods was the head was the only -2!!!. in Ireland of the .Protestant taith.tt Second, that the family of which J'ohn \l·oods was the head were English settlers in Ireland. Third, that the Yioodses were Protestants and mainly Presbyterians. They were Dissenters.

In a letter left by Colonel Jose:ph Jackson ~;oods, be says: "My mother (Alice Riehey) was born in Ireland and my rather (Samuel klOods) a few months after his parents arrived in Pennsylvania from Ireland. They ~ere Protes­ tant Irish from the North or Ireland, descended !rom En­ glish settlers in Ireland. You can say of me that I am ot Irish descent, although more strictly I am of Anglo­ Saxon Irish descent--what Macauley calls 'Englishey'." Colonel Woods also says: "Our ancestors were as far as I know Protestants. James Woods and wire (his grand~ar­ ents) were Seceders, an offshoot of the Presbyterian church that was afterward merged with the United ~resby­ terian church in the old country, somewhat different from what is known now as the United Presbyterian church in the United States." The similarity or these statements with those or the "Woods-Mc.Atee Memor1a1n is most significant •. It it be true that J~hn Wood~ ot Ireland was the head of the only Protestant ~oods !amily in Ireland, then there can be no doubt that our ,-oods family, ot which cTe.mes Woods was the real head in America, but whose father, William Woods, tollowed him to America a few years later, was ot that connection. Another similarity or statement is that the rather ot John Wood~ was a trooper in the Cromwell invasion in 1649, and that ot Colonel Woods in which he says he has no know­ ledge as to when our ancestors went to Ireland, but that some ot them were in Londenderry during the femous siege ot that place in 1689, which was only forty years atter the Cromwell invasion in 1649. We know now, trom the account round 1n Burke's •Landed Geniry ot Great Britain and Ireland,• ·that John toods th~ trooper, waa really the head ot the family in Ireland (in- THE V.'OODSES m GREAT BRITA.IN AND IR'f.I,AND 2 stead of his son John) and that he had a son Thomas. It is-~ractically a certainty that our James Woods and his father, W~lliam hoods, were descended from another son ot John the troo-oer, other than his sons J.ohn and Thomas, or trom another -r-son of John II that remained Ireland and did not migrate to America with the ~cods-Wallace colony ot 1724. It would be most gratifying to be able to estab­ lish the connecting link. between John the troo~er, and •dlliem, our most remotely known ancestor. World \\'ar II is on in all its fury ma.king research in the records 1n Ireland out of the question, besides during the Black and Tan ~ar in 1922 the building and the vital statistics trom the beginning were burned. It seems that our proof ~ust rest in oblivion. It is safe to assume that ~illiam was a grandson or a great grandson of John, the trooper. i{e believe that the coat-ot-arms ot Thomas would be our correct arms.

Col. Joseph Jackson Woods 8 THE JAMES WOODS FAMll,Y

OUR ANCESTORS. Colonel Joseph Jackson toads in his account of the fam­ ily says, "Our ancestors came to America from Ireland but seem not to have belonged to the Irish race, but to have been ot .Anglo-Saxon descent. I have no knowledge as to when they settled in Ireland, but we know that in many re­ spects these Anglo-Saxon colonists ot -Ireland were superi­ or to the ,a;..nglo-Saxona or England. They were better sol­ dier~, made better juryme~, were quicker witted end more intelligent and wide awake. Some or our ancestors were in Londonderry, I:relend, during the tamous siege of that place in l68Q. This was the most noted siege that ever took place in the British Islands. The adherents of ~ames the Second 1n Ireland, nearly all of whom were of the Irish race and of the Catholic faith, aided by French troops, had overrun and ta.ken possession of all of Ire­ land, with the except!on of Xnn1skillen and Londonderry, which places were defended by adherents of William of Or­ ange who were nee.rly all of the Anglo-Saxon race and of the Protestant faith. WheL the t1rst regiment of Catholic soldiers approached Londonderry, the Blaho~ and other authorities were in ta­ vor ot surrendering the town to them, but th!rteen young apprentices closed the ferry gates in tbe face or the o~­ f1cers, armed themselves, called in all the aid they could get and defended the place. The regular siege be­ gan in A~ril 1689 and ended the last night or July 1689. The detenders suffered from ~est1lence and hunger. Horses, dogs, rats, salted hides, etc., were eaten, but on tha ttrst ot ~ugust, Londonderry was relieved of the enemy. The garrison had been reduced from 7,000 to 3,000 men. Eight thousand or tho Catholic army had been killed or 41aabled and the victory of ~illiam over Jemes at the Boyne (river) virtually ended the contest 1n Ireland and the Protestants were relieved trom the persecutions and tyranny or the Catholics. Several generations have since-passed away and still the wall ot Loµdonderry is to the Protestants ot Ulster what the trophy ot Marathon was to the Athenians. A lofty p11- ·1ar, rising from a bastiont which bore during many weeks -the heavy tire ot the enemy, is seen tar up and down the ~oyle (river and lough).

JAMBS WOODS THE FIRST.

J'JJ:.!ES WOODS·, son or iiILLI.AM I;oons, born about 1736 in the North or Ireland died in 1823 in Brown County, Ohio; married about 1760 in Ireland to Catherine Allen born about 1736 died in 1823,- both passing away early in the year at an advanced age. They are buried in the little plot on their farm below Georgetown. Nothing is known about iiILLilJ.f uOODS except that he ca.me to America a few years after his son bringing his son's eldest daughter, Sarah, with him. tnether he remained in America and died here, or returned to Ireland is unknown. There is no information regarding the ~arents or Cather­ ine Allen. Some of her relatives were men o~ large abili­ ties. Two of them, brothers, sons or Jemes Allen Sr, who was born in Ireland in April 1776, came to .America about 1800, and J'ane (Hethwood) Allen, graduated from 'West Point--Jam.es in 1829 and Robert in 1836. James was Lieu­ tenant Colonel in command or Mormon Battalion, Missouri Volunteers, ¥ex1can ~ar--~ied in 1846. Robert's services were so numerous and valuable, particularly as Quarter­ master or the l:estern Arr..y during the Rebellion, it would take a volume to do justice to him--died· August 5, 1886 in Geneva Switzerland. The History or Brown County, Ohio, states that among the distinguished personages who receiv­ ed their first instruction in the schools or Ripley, were· President U. s. Grant and General Robert illent c.Q.M. U.S.A. Robert .tl.ll.en ·was born in Ohio, but entered West Point and. the Civil .~ar- rrom Indiana. It is regretted that Colonel ~oods did not state the exact relationship between these men and Catherine (Allen) \"ioods. In the year.1773, JAMES WOODS, with a part or his family and other relatives, came trom Dublin, Ireland. They landed at New York City ana finally round their way to Pennsylvania, settling in Cross Creek (now letferson)Town­ ship, Washington County, a few miles north or the town or tashington. All efforts to learn the name of the boat ana the exact date or the arrival or the colony by corres~on­ dence with the Congressional Library, Washington, D.c: and with the Ame~ican-Irish Historical Society, New York City, have failed. Washington County was.erected March 28, 1'781 trom a part o~ Westmoreland County, so it was the latter county in 1773. During the War o~ the Revolution, James Woods and one or his cousins had a contract to deliver supplies to the army and they were engaged in this business tor two years. This cousin was probably John Woods, born in Ireland, married there to Mary Allen, soon_thereatter emigrating to West­ moreland County, Pennsylvania, and then to Washington 16 THE JAMES WOODS FAMILY County, members or the Seceder Church. His son Nathaniel (died 1836) was 1n the War ot 1812. ("See Beers' "Commem­ orative Biographical Record of ~ashington County, Penn­ sylvania," page 943). Later James Woods served in the Revolutionary r:ar as a soldier under Colonel William Crawford. Maxwell P. ~oods (a great grandson) of Denison Texas, has written the tollowing account of his service. I!!!. Crawford Ca.m2aign in 1£!. Revolutionary!£!!:. We who trace our lineage to James Woods will contem­ plate w1th the utmost satisfaot1on, his record in that war which was the beginning of our nation. It 1s fortu­ nate that the clearest light should be thrown on that re­ cord. It is significant that the campaign in which he was engaged, though brie~, vas one of the most, if not the most sanguinary or the Revolutionary war. Because.or their many depredations on the frontiers or Pennsylvania and Virginia, General Washington appointed Colonel ~1111am Crawford to the coc.!Ila.nd of an ex-oedition against the hostile Indian tribes, mainly the iiyandots and Delawares in Ohio. He was an able and experienced soldier in both regular and Indian warfare. He had serv- ·ed with Washington at Braddock's defeat 1n 1755 and in the major bat~les ot the Revolutionary war. A tew weeks preceding Colonel Crawford's campaign, in which James Woods was a soldier, the deliberate slaughter by Colonel David Y1111e.mson of about one hundred peaceful. Moravian Indians, who had been converted to Christianity aroused the feelings or all the Indian tribes to the high­ est pitch and gave to Crawford's ce.zn~aign a character ot terrible terpcity. On May 22d, 1782, he took command ot a body or men num­ bering about tour hundred, recruited trom the settlers in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Their purpose was to terminate Indian raids on those frontiers. Immediately afterward, the expedition lett Mingo bottom near Steubenville, Ohio, tor the Indian villages to the west. They went northward via the Moravian villages which Colonel Williamson, a few weeks betore had wantonly destroyed. Then proceeding due west, on June 4th, they reached a grove, now known as Bat­ tle Island, a t.e• miles northeast or Upper Sandusky. There they were met by a large torce or Indians and British. The first day of t1ght1ng was favorable to the frontiersmen. On the aeoond day Butler's Rangers trom Detroit and two hundred Shawnees reinforced the enemy. ~he torcea ot the settlers were so outnumbered that Colonel Crawtord ordered a retreat. The retirement-~egan about.nine o'olook at night. Being 41aoovered by the enemy, in the contua1on which followed, lAMM WOODS THE FIRST 17 a number or the volunteers became separated from the main body, as did Colonel Crawford in his efforts to find -his son John and other relatives. On the afternoon ot the ?th, he, with several otheraand Dr. Knight, surgeon or one or the companies, was surpris­ ed and captured by a party ot D6lawares end was taken to an Indian village a short distance north ot the present town of Crawfordsville, •here he was burned at the stake. His son John, a witness or his father's doom, not long fd­ ter was subjected to the Sa!!le rate. His son-in-law, .Ma­ jor Harrison, and his nephew~ who were captured elsewhe~e in the retreat, were put to death by torture. Dr. Knight, who was present at Crawford's death, waa fortunate in escaping the Shawnee warrior, into whose cus­ tody he was ent~usted, and round his way back to the set­ tlements. Colonel lill1e.mson conducted the retreat. Sev­ eral days later the main torce reached the Ohio and dis­ persed to their homes, having lost nearly one hundred men. The names ot Colonel Crawford, his kindred, Dr. Knight, James Tioods, all who perished in that sanguinary campaign and those who survived, can never die. They now rest •on tam.e's eternal camping ground.' Their heroic deeds shall torever dwell in our remembrance."

Some went north into .l..llegheny County, some south, a large number still remaining in the original settlement. ~bout 1800, they began to pour into Kent uclcy." Prepara­ tory to joining the westward march, James Woods sold three tracts or land in Crosa Creek Township, a part ot Wh1oh, at least, became Jetterson Township in 1853. The t1rat tract was not a homestead as it bore only his own a1gnature. It adjoined that or William Donaldson which wu the name ot the husband ot hi• daughter Sarah. 18 THE J'AMES \.OODS FAMU,Y

While Zemea and Catherine Wooda were member• ot the Se­ oe4er C~urch, an of:tshoot ot the P.reabyterian Church, in Ireland, they doubtless att~nded the Crose Boada .Presby­ terian Church during their seventeen yeara ot residence 1A Penne7lTania. Their departure, with.their aon Nathan- JAMES \~CODS THE FIRST 19 !el, daughter Anne, and perha!)s others, probably occurred very soon after October 7, 1800. They doubtless. :followed "Zane's Highliay," constructed by Ebenezer Zane in 1798 trom 1'/heeling (then in Virginia) to Limestone (later Mays­ ville), Kentucky. No doubt they visited their son Allen at Cynthiana and their son Samuel at Limestone, then cross ed the Ohio Biver into Ohio, where these sons later joined them. Their stay in Kentucky was brief' as page 313 or the History of Brown County, Ohio, states that James .Woods was one ot the first pet1t jurors in the August term ot court in 1801. It was then Clermont County (formed in 1800), Brown County being taken from a part of it and a part ot Adams County in 1817, and Georgetown, the county seat, laid oft by Allen ~oods and Henry Newkirk in 1819. Ohio was admitted as a state in 1802. James Woods settled on a part of John Tibbs 2,000 acre survey Nos. 1635 and 1982 in Pleasant Township, on Straight Creek, three or four miles south of Georgetown, on what is now the Ri~ley-Center Point highway, P.oute 68. Straight Creek, which is very crooked, was so called at­ ier a man named Straighi. Georgetown is about forty miles southeast of Cincinnati. james Woods e.nd wife died on this place in 1823, their son Nathaniel in 1837, his widow in 1862,·and Nathaniel's son John lived on it until he moved into Georgetown. It was then sold to William Pangburn and is now (1942) owned by the widow or Robert u. Works and occupied by tenants. One of the earliest schools (about 1820) was on this farm and the Woods Ridge brick school hous.e is across the highway on the west side. The original house ot James Woods burned down. The pres- .ent story and a halt brick, which faces the west and atanda back a little trom the highway, has carved on the atone across the top ot the north upstairs window, "This house built by Nathaniel and Jene Woods 1836." There are f!Te rooms on the tirst floor e.nd four fireplaces with hand-carved mantels, the one in the living room in the old sunburst design. Cupboards run from the floor to the ce11 111g on each side of them and the doors are ~anelled. More than a century old, thia house is sometimes visited by those interested in the early history ot the country. Betore public cemeteries were the custom each family had !ts own ~rivate burial plot on the tarm. The one on the Woods place is in a little clump or trees, east of the highway and next to the division fence on the south. There are probably more than twenty graves in it. By 1938 the atone tence around it had partly tallen down, cattle had been in and the markers were all down with some of ~hem broken in two. After visiting it, Maxwell P. Woods of Denison, Texas, undertook its restoration, with a little help :trom others, and made three trips to Ohio to accom­ plish this. He repaired the tenoe and put up a new metal gate on a ~ipe frame, reset the markers in concrete basea, 20 THE J'ilrES r;oons F.AlJILY- cemented the broken stones together and placed the new D.A.R. marker at J'e.mes \·,oods grave on August 14, 1939. The little plot is now in a good state of preservation, Which should last many years, even tho the Uoods name be­ comes only a memory in Bro~n and Clermont Counties, Ohio, which it bids fair to do. The satisfaction or Maxwell P. Woods in completing.this self-imposed task can scarcely be imagined. l!ay all the descanaants who read these lines Jotn with him in that gratificat!on. He wrote arter visit ing it in 1941, "It looks so durable now that I am sure the enclosure will protect egainst inroads of the live­ stock tor very many years and until such sacred places will receive the protection a gro~1ng ~ublic sentiment will.insure in the years to come." From Beers' History or Brown County (1883), page 376. "James ~cods was born in Ireland and emigrated with his ramily to ~ashington County, Pennsylvania. He afterward removed to Kentucky and very soon attar 1800 to Pleas- ant Townsh1:p, settling on what 1s now the William Pang­ burn farm, about tour m!les below Georgetown. He possessed deep religious convictions, and was a.n earnest God-tear­ ing man. His children were Allen, Nathaniel, Samuel and Anna. Samuel lived in Lewis Township; Allen on the site or Georgetown; Nathaniel on the home tarm below George­ town."

From Williams' History of Brown & Clermont Counties, Vol. 1, :page 389. "James Woods came from Ireland to the trontier, then in Washington County, Pennsylvania. His settlement in that nursery or Scotch Presbyterians is all but positive proot that he belonged with the faith or that he was very fond ot contention for Washington County was not a peaceful place for a non-subscriber to the prevail­ ing creed. ~hen others began to move on to Kentucky,James Woods ceme also and _!)lanted a strong :f'amlly about Cynthi­ ana, among whom Allen, S6.Itluel, Nathaniel e.n.d Anna, ulti­ mately settled in Brown County at an early date."

One can only conjecture as to why James Woods and ~1re would cone to A.r!erica and leave one of their children in Ireland.

Aug. 12, 1852 at the home of their a.au., Mrs. Peter L. Wilson, aged 85, was bur. with nembers of the Wilson family on their term on Straight Creek, Brown Co., Ohio. In 1923, Lewis ~ilson, the last surviving member or the Wilson tac.ily, had all their remains re~oved to Confidence Cem. in Georgetown. ~1th these were the remains or Mrs. Eliza­ beth M. Thomas, who lived with them, as did Frank Tho~as. They were relatives but no one now knows the connection. Hannah Galbreath had auburn hair and many in that line ot the ram!ly had hair of the se.m.e hue. The Galbreath family lived in Washington Co., Pe., but nothing is known about them there. A few or the name are mentioned in the Brown and Clermont County histories and it is presumed that they were relatives of hers. Allen .oods and his brother Sanu.el, with their fam.tlies, doubtless left Pa. for Ky. during 'the l790's, the former settling at Cynthiana end the latter at Limestone, now Maysville. A deed, dated Oct. 24~ 1804, is on record at Cynthiana, Harrison Co., Ky., troc Allen Woods and Hannah Woods, his wite, conveying Lot No. 10 in Cynthiana to John Jenkins. The History ot Brown County says: "Allen \Yoods, a na­ tive or Ireland, ceme to America when small and located in the state of Pennsylvania. Upon arriving at maturity, he was married in that state and r·amoved to Georgetown, Kentucky, where he resided several years. Soon after Ohio was admitted into the Union, he came to it and located on the site of Georgetown; this was probably in 1803 or 1804. His son, Allen ~oods Jr., now a re~ired physician ot Cler­ mont County, was born here in October, 1805, and a daugh­ ter_, now the wif'e or Peter L. Wilson s Esq. , was born on the old place in 1808.N (Error--illen Jr. was b. at Cyn­ thi&lla in 1805. It is not known by the descendants that illen Sr. ever lived at Georgetown. Ky.). According to the history or Clermont County, illen Sr. removed from Ky. to Pleasant Twp. (then in Clermont co.) in 1806. In 1808 he was elected coroner tor two years and Nathan Woods (his brother Nathaniel), ~ohn Arnold and John Davis went on his bond tor two thouand dollars. Ill 1809, Levi Rogers resigned as sheriff ana. illen eoods, coroner, 26 THE JAME$ t·oons F AMTI.Y was appointed to fill his unexpired term. One ot the his­ tories states that he was a ~rominent official or the old county and his son, Dr.-illen coods, was a noted man in new Clermont. · May SO, 1808, Daniel Feagins and Violet, his wife, sold to Allen \,oods, 200 acres of the Lawson survey in Pleas­ ant Township and on October 17, 1808, 50 acres in addi­ tion to his rirst purchase.

His memory was, as Dr. Allen \.oods said, the best of any man's he ever knew, but in his latter days he beceI!le a wreck, fi­ nancially, physically and mentally, suffering !or several years from ~aralysis.n It ~as said that he courd hear a sermon, go home and almost repeat 1-t. thile e.ssisting at a barn-raising, he injured himself in 11tt1ng 1n such a way that he was never the sa.~e egain and paralysis was the outcome. This ne~essitated the breaking up of the home in 1833 and he went to live with his son James, while his wire and dau., Elizabeth, lived with his son Samuel and went north with him to \1illiams Co., Oh~o, shortly after his marriage in 1841. His son, Jose~h Jackson, 10 years or age, went with his son John to Bush eo., Indiana, soon after John's marriage in 1833, where he remained for two years, returning to Ohio at the age of 12.

NATHA.rIIEL \;oons SR. AND DESCENDANTS.

NATHA.~IEL ~OODS, youngest son or James and Catherine (Allen) toods, gdsn. of ~illiam Woods, b. 1777 in ~ash­ ington Co. , Pa. d. !.!ay 28, 1837 in Pleasant Twp. , Brown Co., Ohio, aged 60; m. Jane Stewart, dau. of Sergt. John Stewart or the Revolutionary kie.r; b. May 28, 1780 {compu­ ted) in ,·;ashington co., Pa. d. Aug. 28, 1862 aged 82 yrs. 3 mos., buried on the farm with all their children (ex­ cept John), many of their grandchildren and his parents. This branch of the fa..r:-i'!ly was subject to tuberculosis and. John 1s the only child that lived to pass the three score years and ten. He is bur. in the old Georgetown Cem. He· and his sis~er, Catherine Hodkins, are the only ones that lett aescenQants. As stated before, the burial plot on the tarm has been restored from a deplorable condition by Maxwell P. ~ooas or Denison, Texas--the rock fence rebuilt or repaired, an iron gate installed and the markers set in place in concrete. Col. Woods sketch ot the tamily states that Nathaniel was single when he came with his ~arents to Ohio, but the Nathaniel descenaants have always understood that he was m. in Pa. end the Brown Co. history confirms it. Their o.ata •is that, :'Nathaniel and Jane_ (Stewart) \1oods came trom that car:iping place on the westward march of many fam­ ilies from Washington Co., ?a. to their since continuous stay in Brown Co., Ohio." It is :possible that Sergt .John Stewart and family came in a colony along with the ~oods migratj_on, for it appears that he came into Clermont Co. about 1800. Sergt. John Stewart is in the list ot Clermont Co. Rev. War soldiers, and seems to have lived nr Williamsburg in Williamsburg Twp. In 1832, while living in Ohio, he made application for a pension. He was b. Feb. 1, 1?55 in.Lan­ caster Co., Pa. end d •. Feb. 5, 1842 in Fayette Co., Ky., leaving no widow. Isaac Mcisaac was the administrator or his estate and one Robert Stewart, Mcisaac's secretary, was his bondsman. His war record, as given by the Veter­ ans .Administration, is as tollows: "While a resident ot Hagerstown, Md., to which place he had moved one year before, John Stewart enlisted Dec. 26, 1?76, served 3 months as 1st sergt. in Capt. Evan Baker's Co., Col. John Still's Md.·regt., after which he returned to his father's home in Lancaster Co., Pa. and while liv­ ing there, enlisted and served under Capts. Williams and Bippey and Cols. Stephenson, Bankin and William Ross in the Pa. militia, ·a tour ot 4 months during which he wae in a skirmish about 2 miles trom Fhiladelphia, also in the batt~e ot Gulph'a Kill, ihen assisted 1n·guar~ing 48 139 THE . J .A!:.IES ViOODS FAMILY ::prisoners whi.ch had been taken to Reading Jeil, e.fter which he-was discharged. He afterwards v.ent to the south­ ward where he servea 2 mon~hs in Ca~t. Ford's Co. under Major Bayley nr Yorktown guarding British prisoners. The soldier moved from Pa. to Ky., nr Lexing'ton; from there moved to Clermont Co., Ohio, nr the Twp. of billiamsburg, and while living there w~s allo~ed a pension on bis appli­ cation executed Nov. 8, 1832. In 1835, he was living in Fayette Co., Ky., ~here he had been living 2 years. It is not stated whether John Ste~art was ever married."

The History or Brown Co., o., ~age 376, has the follow­ ing: "Nathaniel Woods, when not engaged in rarn:ing, boat­ ed a great aeal on the river, tred1ng produce--~c~k,:f'lour, etc., at different points on the Ohio end Mississi~p!, or­ ten extending his tr1? as far south as Naw Orleans and then walking beck overland to his home. Ee wss married in Pennsylvania, to J"ane Stewart, and re.1s~d h:ts family on the :rarm, where he died about 183?. ii.ifl ""1li'e survived him many years." Col. Y:oods stated that t,;atheniel became quite wealthy tor a farm.er. Mter the death or James e..nd Catherine (Allen) Woods on the farm early 1n 1823 and the c.eath of :iathan.iel in 1837, his son John and family li~ed there with his wife, Jane, who survived him sCI:J.e 25 years. A little rocking chair that belonged to her is new o~ned by har gtgddau., Sallie (Woods) Donohoo or Georgetown. Her Will is given at the close of this account. It aonaars ~hat because o:f' the will of Mary T. Woods (wido~-ot Nathaniel Jr.):f'iled ~ug. 4, 1860, in which she left the most of her estate to her sister, .Mrs. Ann B. Henderson, and lier two brothers, J'ohn G. and James~- Stewert, all or ~ashington Co., Fa.,that they forced a sale or the land or Nathaniel Sr. to secure her share in it. It was sold at sheritf's sale to Jane Woods, who was the highest.bidder. Some years after her death in 1862 it was sold to Asa or William Pangburn, is now owned by Mrs. Robert Works and occupied by a tenant.

The original house burned and the present house erected the year before Nathaniel's death. As stated before, the stone slab above the north upstairs window has this in­ scri::ption, "This house bui.l t by Nathaniel and Jane Tioods 1836." The house :faces the west and is some little dis­ tance back from the highway. It is sometimes visited by persons interested in the early history or the county. I~ 1936, the editor or the Georgetown newspaper made a trip there and printed the following 1n his paper: ."The home or Nathaniel and Jane Woods, erected in 1836, !a located on the Bipley-Center Point road. It is con­ structed of brick and has five rooms on the· first tloor with a long room comprising the second story. In tour rooms on the first floor are huge tireplacea with the old NATHANIEL WOODS SR·. iJ"1:l DESCENDANTS 139 sunburst mantels and cupboards running from the floor to the ceiling on each side or the fireplaces. The doors are all :panelled an~tho the structure is celebrating its centennial this year, it is in good condition an~ a sight worth visiting. It 1s a three mile arive from Georgetown~ (See picture elsewhere in this book). Nathaniel and Jane (Stewart) Woods had 12 c., 6 d.y. and their names have been lost. The other 6 were: I.

May 31, 1874, aged 65, both bur. in the old Georgetown Cem. with their dau. Elizabeth. The history ot Brown Co. says that the Kirkpatrick fam­ ily was qu.ite large and settled there when the county was yet a wilderness. Among them were Jemes and Mary (Kirk­ patrick) Daugherty, who came ·rrom Westmoreland Co., Pa. abt. 1799, and whose son, Jackson P. Daugherty, b. 1819, was pastor of the Christian Church in Higginsport. Samuel and Nancy (Finley) Kirkpatrick, whose son, G. L., b. 1858, was a tobacco dealer et Ripley, were among the earliest pilgrims. Miss J. Kirkpatrick b. Aug. 26; ·1s11 ln Brown Co. d. Mar. 3, 1863; m. 1829 J.. H. Dougherty and moved to Vermilion Co., Ill. in 1632. Andrew Kirkpatrick and Eliz­ abeth Kiz·kpatrick were members or the Mt. Carmel Presby­ terian Church organized about 1840 in Union Twp. Page 379. "~drew Kirkpatrick was a :pioneer squatter. He made a clearing a short distance east ot Olive Chapel, but changed his habitation frequently. 'lhen last heard trom. he was in Indiana.• Olive Chal)el, ·razed in 1936, was a short d!stance·north ot the lames and Nathaniel Woods term and on the same aide ot the road. The children ot John Woods attended the Woods Bidge school (as he had done before them) across the road and to the south a short distance. Some years atter his mother's death in 1862, he lett the tarm and moved into a preten­ tentioua brick home ot the _old Southern style in George- 140 THE JAMES -r;oons FAMILY town where he and his wife died less than a year apart. This home, which has. been some,,hat renoaeled, ls no-w own­ ed e.nd occupied by their gddau. , Sallie {t:oods) Donohoo, and husband. john Woods was a Justice or·the Peace and an upright man in every way. The will of jene (Stewart) Woods indicates the high esteem in which she held her daughter-fn-law, Luc1naa (Kirkpatrick) 1·i·ood.s. Mary T. •oods, her sister-in-law, bequeathed her ~400 in. her Will.
