Re: Old Picture

cmakai1 — 2009-11-10 19:25:51Z

Hi just saw this on the board and realize it's over a year old so I'm not sure if you'll see it and reply.

My maiden name is Christine Woodard - my father was Melvin L. Woodard who passed away in 2001. He was born in Foreman, Ark so I'm assuming this is a relative of mine. BTW, his father was Henry Daniel Woodard b.1910

Let me know if you still have this picture as I'd love to see it. Thanks!

Bonnie, I do have them in my FTM database of the Woodward and Woodard families. Edwin Bracy Woodard was born July 01 1837 in Champion, Jefferson County, NY and died Sep 10 1915 in Gladwin, Gladwin County, MI. He was the son of Daniel Woodward born 1801 in Whites Town, Oneida County, NY and died in 1881 in Speaker, Sanilac Co., MI. He married to Hannah Sischo who was born Aug 04, 1808 in Champion, NY and died Jul 14 1881 in Speaker, MI. Daniel Woodard's parents were Rutsey Woodward b. 1770 VT or Canada and died 29 May 1848 in So. Norwich, Oxford Co., Ontario. He married to Mary Annis who was born Jan 04 1776 VT and died 29 May 1845 in Springford, ON. Rutsey's father was Daniel Woodward b. 26 Jan 1755 in Hingham, Plymouth Co, MA His wife unk.

I can take it back further but will wait to hear back from you by personal email or by telephone.
p.s. Rutsey Woodward was indicated as was his family I think as being Mulatto in a Census. Sometimes Native folks had this indicated by Census takers. Whether or not this Woodward family was African-Amer. or West Indies, or Native American I do not know.
Kindly, Douglas

David C. and Mary E. Woodard

barbaraharris10 — 2009-10-10 02:41:35Z

I am looking for any info about my paternal g-g-grandfather, David C. Woodard, born abt 1834 and died in 1864 while serving in Co. E. 39th Ala Vol Inf. He married Mary E. Posey in Russell County, Ala on 2 Feb 1860. They had 2 sons Thaddeus David and Richard Perry.

Re: Mason A. Woodard

douglaslloyd68 — 2009-10-09 04:32:37Z

you are both correct. Apollos Woodward is the father of Alpheus Mason Woodward. He was also the father for Charles Blair, Ruth, Roxanna, Royal William, Parker Preston Woodward.

Apollos left his first family ca. 1816 and went with his father Jeptha's brother Nathaniel Woodward and Naomi Plaisted to New York State so we surmise. Charles, Ruth and Alpheus went up to Shefford Quebec, where Rachel Reynolds Woodward's kith and kin were living. Still not sure what happened to Raychel Reynolds after 1820. But I got lots to share if you want the information. I did find Apollos Woodward out in Lapeer County, Michigan ca. 1850's. He disappeared by ca. Jan Feb 1859. Can't find his one son James B. Woodward and family in the 1860 census though. Nor Apollos or his 2nd wife either in that census. Anyway, from a fellow Woodward family genealogical descendant I thought I would say yes, you both are correct. If Jeptha Woodward didn't married until Feb 07 1801, then who are the two children 14-16 years old in his household in the 1800 census. Apollos and Hepzibah Woodward, by a first yet unnamed wife. He didn't married Persis Washburn until Feb 1801. Apollos married to Rachel Reynolds on Sep 13 1801. Jeptha's widowed mother Mary Britton-Woodward lived in the household with Jeptha and his two children in the 1800 census as well. She remarried to William Greene and then to James Hunt, and then died in 1839. I have her obit etc etc. I have pictures of Royal W. Woodward, some desc. of Parker, and a picture of Apollos 2nd wife and their two sons and descendants as well. ONLY Apollos did not own any land in the Keiser Pond area. Why? Only his line and that of Hepzibah's desc's married native descendants. Anyway, genealogical questions still to ponder and to answer some day, hopefully with evidence etc. Kindly, Douglas Lloyd Buchholz

I am looking for the whereabouts of Parker Preston Woodward who lived in Fitch Bay Quebec, died around June 1884 Married to a Sarah P. Sawyer in Danville, Vt. Later after she died he remarried to a Susan Brown. Also still looking for a James B. Woodward and Mary Allen in the 1860 census with son George W. Also looking for Nancy Jane Woodward-Allard last seen in Boscawen, NH in the 1880 census in the household of Ezra Harris. Seeking Nathaniel Woodward who was of Smithfield RI ca. 1779 and whose wife was Mary Britton. And his father Thomas Woodward also of Smithfield bef. 1782. I am a descendant of the Woodward's in Smithfield, RI and also of the bunch of children in Deweys Gore Deweysburgh Vermont. APOLLOS IS NOT THE SON OF NATHANIEL WOODWARD AND MARY BRITTON UNLESS NATHANIEL WOODWARD (MARY BRITTONS HUSBAND) DID NOT DIE PRIOR TO 1782.
PARKER PRESTON WOODWARD IS NOT THE SON OF NATHANIEL AND MARY BRITTON'S SON DARIUS WOODWARD/NANCY TAYLOR EITHER.

Augusta Woodard Wise Muskegon, Michigan

artcpa1 — 2009-10-07 09:51:36Z

I am looking for information for my great grandparents Julius and Augusta Woodard Wise.
Here is what I have found out, Julius and Augusta came from Germany in 1881.

They had four children, Fred, Augusta, Emma and Elsie.
Fred moved to Oakland Ca and passed in 1968.
Augusta (my grandmother) lived in Detroit MI and passed 1970.
Emma died in 1913.
Elsie died in 1928.
I would also know if anyone has any information about Elsie Wise, she had married a man named Harry Fetters and a man named Gust Bill.
Her headstone in Ravenna, Michigan reads Elsie Wise Ballard, she had married a man named Ballard before her death.
She might have had a child named Charles Wise that was born about 1916 or 1914.

This is good news - I am struggling with how my family left somewhere in Tennessee (1820-25) after having come from NC (after 1790), and going to Iowa by 1840. It appears that they traveled from Tennessee to Illinois (Hancock Co.) thence to Fairfield Iowa.
My known ancestor is Henry Woodard, m. Elizabeth Melton (?, Elizabeth Whittington (2)?) and his sons include Aaron, David, John (good 19th century names!). I will f/u with the DNA, that may be a good lead.
Does any of this fit with any data you have

By our books he was married to a Charlotte when property when given to him and his siblings and parents when the brother Jams died and wife Martha have to family.

Re: descendants of Philander Woodard & Mariah Montgomery

LukeCrump — 2009-06-18 22:15:25Z

I got the names of Philander Woodard & Maria Montgomery from the book "The Montgomerys and Their Descendants" by D.B. Montgomery, published by JP Cox in Owensville, IN in 1903. On page 249 "Maria Montgomery, eighth child of Judge Issac Montgomery, married Philander Woodard. The book does have information on Maria's family, but no further mention of Philander or their descendants.

I am the g-g-grandson of Maria's youngest brother, McGrady Montgomery.

The book shows the following ancestors for Maria:
parents= Isaac Montgomery & Martha McClure
grandparents= Thomas Montgomery (Revolutionary War veteran) & Martha Crockett (sister of Col Joseph Crockett of the Revolutionary War)
grandfather= James McClure
g-grandfather= Hugh Montgomery Sr.

Thomas & Martha married in VA 1767. They lived in Montgomery Co, VA until 1796; then in Montgomery Co, KY; then to Knox Co (later Gibson Co), IN in 1806, where they were the first family to settle in that county.

If you are interested in the ancestors and family of Maria, this is a great book to read.

I have not been doing much research at all for several years now.

I am searching for information about the parents of James H. Woodard, born about 1808 in Tennessee. He was married to Caroline C. Woodard and was listed in the 1850 and 1860 census reports in Tennessee. It seems possible the family moved west from Virginia or North Carolina or possibly from Kentucky. In the census reports he is listed as a farmer in Madison County, TN.

Any information will be appreciated.

I have Philander born in 1810 in Vermont. In 1840 he married Maria. The 1860 census shows him in Atchison, KS. The 1870 census shows him in Topeka. He died in Topeka in 1880. Their daughter Sarah was born in Indiana in 1841. Sarah maried my g-grandfather David Auld in Atchison about 1865.
Any info you could supply on Philander's early life and family would be appreciated as he is hard to track down. Same with Maria.

Ruffin W. Woodard

Ruffin W. Woodard was supposedly born in NC in 1831. He married Mary Ann Gibson in Kentucky and died in Henderson, Kentucky in 1908. He had a son whose name John Wesley Woodard. I think that Ruffin's middle name was Wesley. I feel that he was probably born around Nash County if he was actually born in NC.

Wilson Woodard (Woodward, Woodered, Woodword) and his descendants

Heinz57varieties — 2009-08-10 05:40:21Z

I'm still trying to find any information on Wilson (Nelson) Woodard (Woodward, Woodword, Woodered) and his descendants. Wilson was imported or born in Virginia. Early records state that he lived in Richmond, VA and had one son named Gustavus ( Gus). Gus's mother MAY have been name, Elizabeth but there is nothing further on his mother history or Gus's early childhood. According to an interview in the Slave Narratives, Wilson's son Isaac (Ike) Wood(w)ard, says they were sold to the Wiley Woodard Plantation in Mississippi. This may be where Wilson was married to Dollie (or Dolly) Pruitt, who was born in Alabama ( her origin is unknown, so far). They went on to have several children including Ben, Rosetta, Tiller (Tilla), Jefferson (Jeff), Amos, James, Samuel (Sammie), Lena, Bell, Wilson, Dock and Lela. I'm not sure that Dollie/Dolly is the biological mother to all of these children. Two of the brothers, Jefferson and Isaac married two sisters Nannie and Julie ( or July) Wade. I'm interested in learning more about all of these individuals, their descendants and their Native American ancestry.
