RE: Buford Woods

In 1850 Mercer Co., KY there is a Buford Woods (age 3) in the household of Thomas & Mary Woods, along with Marthy (age 2) & Pinckney (age 0mo). I would assume this to be Buford's parents and siblings.

By 1860 Henry Co., KY census Buford is living in the Susan Randsall household and Wakefield in living in the T.E. Holly household.

In 1870 Henry Co., Ky there is a Buford & Susan (Alligood)Woods (no children yet) Living with them is a Wakefield Woods (age 19), I assume to be the brother of Buford. Could be Luther's middle name was after his "Uncle" Wakefield.

Did not locate Buford in 1880, also did not locate him in the 1920 census, so would assume he is deceased by then.
