The following information on the family of William Woods (b. 1695
Ireland - d. 1785 Orange County NC) is taken from the Woods-McAfee
Memorial.  This William is the brother of Michael Woods of Blair Park
who came from Ireland with Michael in the 1730s.  However when Michael
went to Virginia, William went to Maryland, then South Carolina sometime
between 1730 and 1735.  Please note that there are a lot of new names in
this line as the descendants of William Woods of North Carolina have not
been that fully researched.  Further, this is all the information I have
on this family.  In any event, William had five children:

1.   John (b.1720 - d. 1813) m. Ann Louey Melbane and remained in NC.

     and Jane White Baldridge of Orange county NC.  About 1807 Thomas
     and his family moved to Murfreesboro TN where he worked as a
     blacksmith.  In 1827 he moved his family (with the exception of his
     oldest children James, John and Jane) to Fulton County KY where he

****************************************************************

Now, I am trying to fill out the remainder of the children of William
Woods of North Carolina, at least to the point where I can identify the
parents of a David L. Woods (b. 1800 in NC) shows up on the 1880 Greene
County TN Census.  Also I want to find out who is the father of  Henry
J. Woods who was born in NC in 1826.  Henry also shows up on the  1880
Greene County TN Census.  Is David L Woods the father of Henry J. Woods?

On the 1800 Orange County Census, there are entries for: David; Elihu;
Harrison; James; James (followed by the initials B.S. whatever this
means); John (who is the former Orange County NC sheriff and the son of
William); John W.; two Josephs; Leven; Sampson; Samuel; Thomas; and a
William (2).  Obviously some of these can be associated with the names
above.  But I would like to figure out the total family picture for the
first generation or so after the William Woods who started the NC line
of Woodses.

Thanks for any help and I hope some of the above material helps someone
out.
