To Mike Woody (I tried three other URL's, but all came back undeliverable)

I was searching for a Grant Woody and ran across your file about John Woody, Sr.
I am aware that my Grandparents came from Georgia, like the Suches and Dahlonaga area. Sounds like we may have some similar roots. My Grandfather was Charlie or Charles Woody. On one trip to Georgia as a youngster, my Grandfather took me up to 'Woody Gap'. An experience I still vividly remember like many a trip 'over the mountain' to go to town.

I'd be interested to see what ancestral info you have collected.

Thanks, I enjoyed looking through your info.

I googled my dad's name (Melvin L. Woodard) today and hit this website with a page I believe that was posted by him along with another site with info related to the geneology of Paul Revere.

Though I guess I never really thought about geneology research, it's really awesome to see that not only did my late father leave a trail I could follow, but that he had an impact too, on helping others with their interests.

God Bless, hope to learn more some day about our history.

Hello all Woodys,

A Woody yDNA project has been initiated. We need male Woodys from the different lines to join the project. yDNA tests could provide a key to proving and/or extending your line.If you are a male Woody, or know of an interested male Woody, please consider joing the project. The early stages of a DNA project can be frustrating because everyone waits for others to be the first participants. To learn more about DNA & DNA testing, please take a look at the Woody DNA Project. http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/w/woody/

First, I must comment on the lovely guestbook. It is so easy to scroll through without having to click back and forth. Very well done!!
I am a g-g-granddaughter of Josiah Askew Woody who married Rausey Melinda Bryan. Their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Pricilla Woody married Martin Hatfield Lance. Sarah and Martin moved to territorial Kansas and had eleven children. Number nine was my grandmother, Edith Viola Lance who married James Dove McCaskill. My Mother, Olive Lance McCaskill, is the only daughter of Edith and James. I have eight siblings, so there are a lot of cousins to be discovered at my end!
My Mother, Olive, who is 90 now and of very sound mind, has had a mtDNAplus test done with Family Tree DNA because we are interested in finding relatives in our "granny line", Lance, Woody, Bryan, Cain, and beyond??. Beyond would be very exciting!

Comments:
I have just spent about two hours readinig through the listings in the guestbook. It has been a pleasure. I am trying to find out the orgin of the Woody family, Henry b. James River area, Virgina, 1640 (likely first generation New World)is may line. Some seem to think we came from Ireland, via England. I have also heard Scottland. Does anyone have any info on 'Europe' history of family?

I'll share what I have. Some info I've found is in error but still useful.

Another thing I'm trying to link is the Georgia Woody's and Tennessee Woody's with the NC line. I know some of my family moved to East TN some came back to NC, others may have stayed. Just don't know.

Any help?

Regards, L.J. Woody Asheville, NC

My connection to Kiziah/Keziah Woody is through her daughter, Rhoda Woody Rollins/Rowland. Apparently, Keziah & Rhoda did not let matrimony get in their way, since they both had children out of wedlock, then married late.
Here is the record of the connection between Kissey & Rhoda:
1840 Buncombe Co., NC Northern Div. Page 188
Kiziah Woody 1 male under five // 1 male 10-15 // 1 female 5-10 // 2 females 10-15 // 1 female 15-20 // 1 female 40-50

She was listed in the April, 1847 Bastardy Bonds of Buncombe Co., N.C. as the mother of the child (name not given). Levi Creasman Hipp (Hipps) was listed as the primary bondsman, the secondary bondsman was listed as William Hipps (probably his brother).

Greenberry was the son of Greenberry Silver and Sarah Woody. Greenberry Woody took his mothers surname because Sarah wasn't married.

My great great grandfather was Greenberry Woody he married Catherind Kajiah Phillips and together they had William H. Woody my greatgrandfather.

She was b. around 1820 or so. Any help connecting these families. Also there is a picture "1906" on this website with some familiar names it also contains usher's, clarks, and woody's having that family line might help me to connect with the rest of the woody family

I was just surfing the net and came across this site, pretty neat. I thought for sure that I would see my father's name in the guest book as I am sure I am related to you all. I have attended several family reunions held at the Woody Gap High School, usually in August. Now I see a lot of names on this guest book, but I sure dont see all these people showing up at the reunion, perhaps that renion is just from certain starting points, but I dont see why any one who is a descendant of the Woody in which Woody Gap is named for wouldnt be there. Anyways, Ill give you as much info as I have off the top of my head.

I don't know exactly where the common ancestor is but I've read enough of Michael's positings to know that John and James and the other Johns and Isaac and Richard Woody are all common ancestors. My great grandfather was Levi Woody, a son of James Woody and Margaret Hall. I have a published family tree written in the early 1900's which may have some interesting stuff in it for any of you who might want the info. I have entered it all into "Family Tree Maker" and downloaded it but I haven't seen it on the site yet.

Hello,

I'm interested in contacting any member of the Woody family who may be interested in the following:

The N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences will have "Titanic:The Artifact Exhibit" here from Aug. 2, 2003 - Jan. 4, 2004. Although the exhibit does not contain belongings of Oscar Scott Woody, a Roxboro, NC, native and postman aboard Titanic, we hope to be able to obtain some of them for display during the exhibition. I am interested in talking with NC relatives of his, to see if they might be interested in getting involved in this in some way.

Yours truly,

Karen Kemp

Comments:
I am trying to find the parents of both Hugh Miller/Milner Woody and Margaret Lacy. I have found that Hugh Miller/Milner Woody Born in Chatham North Carolina May 15 1836. But the info I have on his birthday is a few years earlier than what I have written in a Family Bible. But all the other info. of the names of his wives and Children. are all the same. I would like to see if the 1836 date might be an adoption date.
A couple of clues that I have are some very unsual names of their children. Aseneth Arminta, Hugh Jeptha, Florence Anora.
I have noticed that there is a Woody Woman with the name of Aseneth. but she is in Georgia. My Woody's went from NC. to Indiana to Oklahoma.
The other Clue is a Couple with the Names Of Hugh Woody and Elizabeth Chamness they were in the same places at the exact same time of the Woody's that I have, could this really be the parents of my Hugh Woody? Does anyone have the names of this couple Children? Can someone please shed some light on this for me I have been stuck here for sometime now.
As for Margaret Lacy All I have is a death place and date (March 27 1879) for her and that she was born in Plainfield In.

I am 25 now and I am trying to find relatives of my grandfather. I only have a picture and his name. His name was B.J. Woody and he was born sometime around 1910 or 1912. He married my grandmother in or around 1946 when she was 17 years old. Her last mane was Smith. He had Huntingtons Disease when he died in the early 1980's. My mother now has the disease and that's why I am trying to find out if there are other relatives who died of it ; scince the disease is passed on from one generation to the next there has to be line of the disease going back very far. I am from north carolina and so is my family. I found it hopeful that some of the early Woody's had settled in North Carolina. I would appreciate any help or clues you could give me in this matter.

Happy New Year, Everbody! I received the following message from a high school friend in Newton Iowa about a Robert I. Woody who was a fighter pilot in WWII in Europe.

Here is a question. Our son, Mike, is interested in WW II. He received a book at Christmas that showed a picture of Lt. Robert I. Woody of the 355th Fighter Group whose P51 Mustang was named "Woody's Maytag". He was an "ace" and had 12 swastikas on the plane so he was very adept.

Does anyone have information about this Robert Woody? The reference to Maytag (located in Newton) suggests he was from Newton or Jasper County Iowa, but Maytag did make airplane engines (or components) during WWII so it could have been a more general reference. I searched the Woody Family Record which records the descendants of the two oldest sons of my gr gr gr grandfather and covers many (but not all!) of the Woody's who moved from NC to IN to Jasper Co. IA. I found no Robert I. Woody. I found one Robert, no middle initial or birth year given, but who probably would have been about the right age in WWII, judging from his generation. His father was James Woody, who was a "double Woody". His mother was connected to our line and his father was a William Woody, apparently not of our line as he doesn't appear elsewhere in the Record.

Robert Woody

Elijah Woody was my Grandfather, the son of William and Jane Petty Woody. He located to Cairo Grady County, GA in early manhood to teach school. By the time he became 20 he was obsessed with photography. He worked in photography most of the rest of his 94 years, only to give up at age 89 because of his eye sight failing. He never drove an automobile and walked a mile or so to his photography studio daily.

I would like to know more about the Woody family.

I have looked into everything that I can think of to find my Samuel C. Woody. His son Leonidus Decatur Woody then Addie Lulu Woody Edwards who is my grandmother. I have all the names of Samuel's children and also have found several relatives of Samuel's children. None seem to know anything. I do know he was in the Murray County, Ga. area and Cass and later Gordon County. Many of his children's families are still in that area. On the census reports he shows he was born in N. C. and his wife Hannah was born in Ga. I cannot find a marriage license for them. Have been to several county courthouses. Anyone that can find a way to help I would really appreciate. I feel he is a part of Woody Gap but need to prove. Martha Mealer Smith

What Woody branch have you grown attached to? one living in Georgetown & Charleston. SC in 1840's -60's
Comments:
OK here goes... I did a search on your page for my grt grandmother born in 1844 (died in 1924 in Philadelphia) Isadora Marion Wood(d)y. No results, so let me try this:
We have a family Bible with her husband William Sydney Fisher (1844-1898), born in Lower Eastern Shore MD and her children (with both spellings of the name). I have census records and city directories from Charleston, SC showing her father:
Thomas J Woody, age 42
Her mother:
Caroline (Simmons) age 40.
A Simmons from MD did some research on this family and they trace back via my grt grt grandmother's father, Stephen, a sea captain from Mass to 1622 and the Fortune (the next ship into Plymouth Colony after the Mayflower) and thus to various relatives (John Alden, the Brewsters) in that colony and to Phillipe De La Noye (who came over on the Fortune too) the ancestor of the Delanos (as in FDR!).
Anyway, in the 1870-80 censuses they are in Chicago for a time and after Thomas death Caroline returns to SC.
Their children(in 1860)were:
Stephen J age 21, Isadora 16, Thomas E 14 (who in CW records shows up as Pvt Edward T in the Brooks Artillery), Pricilla C 12, Benj. LG 10, James G. 8, Frances 6, Alice age 1.
My grt grandfather William S also shows up in Brooks Artillery roster as well as 2nd SC Co K (from which Brooks was formed.)
The point of all this being: do any of these folks tally with someone in this marvellous web page?
Thanks, Tim Fisher

My g-grandfather was Nathan Dixon Woody's only son, Parnell James Woody - 1856-1907 (Chatham Co., NC). Parnell James had five daughters, one of which, Stella Ann, was my grandmother. So the Woody name died out of that branch at that point. I was named for this grandmother. Would love to hear from cousins who are also descended from Nathan or anyone researching this branch.

You have produced this site with love and openess to anyone, who wants to share their family history. However, our Woody name is spelled, Woodie, Wooddy, and any other variations, we all come from the same tree. What you have done with Woody Gap, unites all of us.

He was married and had at least six children -- Genevieve, Ronald, Hobart, William, Sandra and Elgin. He died in 1977. All I know of my family tree is that it's very diverse -- a mixture of African, Cherokee, Scottish and Irish (and who knows what else.) Now I know how the Jefferson-Hemings descendents feel!! If anyone knows about my grandfather and can offer some insight please e-mail me. Thanks.

My mother was Rosie Woody and she was born in the Mt. View community of Haralson County, Georgia in Feb.of 1920 and my dad was born in the same community in Feb. of 1920. I am trying to find out any information that I can on either of
my grandparents---Woody or Summerville. My Granddad Summerville went by Ed Summerville and he may have died in the mid 1930's in Polk Co. Ga.--but this is not for sure.

My father's name was Rixie Woodie, I'm told his mother was Carrie (sp?) Woodie. She married Clarence Miller after my father was born. Rixie was born 1916 and died 1975. I was adopted as an infant so I don't have very much info. I do know that Rixie married Virginia Worley (my birth mother), after she died he married someone in Fla. and died there. Rixie and Virginia lived in Wilkes Co. N.C. where I was born. I don't know who Carrie's parents were or who Rixie's father was. Help!
