so whats fascinating is how uncommon this name is. how few white woodfins were around before 1800(in georgia where my woodfin family was) and the number of woodfins migrating to tennessee and arkansas. my woodfin is a freed slave by the name of HANNAH. i suspect her mothers name was DELIA. i cannot make a connection between the two white woodfins in their hamlet in penfield greene county georgia and their service to those two white families. one was a minister,the other a professor at MERCER institute.
if you have any information to share on georgia woodfins it would be profoundly appreciated.
