I'm from the Chester County PA Woodland's and my DNA showed I was related to the name Eccelston, so I researched it and came up with the Eccelston's of Kent County. upon my research I found that the will of John Eccelston had John Woodland in it:

WILL John Eccleston of Kent Co, farmer To my wife Margaret Eccleston all my estate during her life, then as follows to my son Samuel all my part of a tract called "Plain Dealing" as divided by writ between Henry Porter and myself, and all lands which I purchased of William and Henry Wyatt. To my son Samuel an undivided moiety of woodland which I purchased of James Porter and wife being part of a tract called "Partnership Point" containing 50 acres and my part of a tract called "Partnership" or "Willises Slipe" containing 20 acres which I purchased of William Willis of Queen Anns Co If my son Samuel dies, then to my son James, if both are dead then to my son Thomas. My son Samuel to pay my son James £150 and my son Thomas £150 when both of age. To my son William a child's part of my personal estate and no more. To my dau. Ann Elizabeth my dwelling plantation. After my wife's decease, then my personal estate to all my children. Exec. my wife. Witnesses William Maxwell, Robert Maxwell Sr., John Woodland. Written Oct. 13, 1785 Proved Mar. 19, 1792 p. 352

Is it possible their is a Connection between the Woodland's and this family while in Kent County and Dorchester Maryland? Does anyone know who the John Woodland is who married a Siefert in Phildelphia daughter of Adam Seifert/Seibert born in 1727? They lived in Northern Liberties with Michael Woodland born about 1753. I have more DNA matched names that coem from Dorchester and Kent County as well as Virginia, this is my only line where I should be getting these types of matches from. Michael also married a Smith, will's show frriends from the Steele families and more.
