I am looking for info on Jesse Woodward, b. 1764 in Stafford Co, VA. Moved to Lee Co about 1795, died there Sept. 1820. He married Mary Hyden and had ten known children. His son John S. Woodward married Charity Claypool. Jesse had two known brothers, James, also in Lee Co. and William. Any data on any Woodward/Woodard appreciated.

I descend from Jesse Woodward and Mary Hayden through their son William Henry. He married Lavinia Munsey. Their daughter Elizabeth was my gggrandmother. Would love to share information with you.

Lee county Woodwards in my family too. My grgreatgrandmother is Bathsheba Woodward, daughter of John B. Woodward. His wife Sarah I have no maiden name for--she might have been cherokee. Have very little info but willing to share. Carol

My gg gradfather was Wm. Woodard born in 1845 Wife was Mary. Know very little at this point because my grandfather died before I was born. Can you help fill in some of the blanks?
Thanks,
Pastor Curtis Woodard

Curtis, You are most likely descended from Henry Woodward and Sarah Shelton, his wife. Very little is known about either of them. Henry was probably born about 1730, probably in VA. He served as a Lieut. and then a Capt. in the French and Indian War, commanding the 10th Co., VA Regt. After the war, he lived in Staford Co., VA. He probably died about 1800. He had 3 known sons, James, Jesse, William, and possibly a 4th, John. Between 1798 and 1800, James, Jesse and John moved to Lee Co. You are probably descended from one of Jesse's sons. Have you checked the 1850 census for a Woodward with a son your grandfather's age? You might also contact Scott Scheibe dsscheibe@earthling.net. He has a large data base and a web page. Please let me know how you fare. Good luck.

Am looking for any connections to Edward L. Woodard. He is listed on the 1850 Lee Co. census at age 18 with his parents James & Jane. His 1st wife was Rebecca Speak, 2nd wife Margaret or Mary.

D o you know if any Woodards came to Lee County from Charlotte County VA. My g,g,g,g,g grandfather Edward Keeling wrote his will in Charlotte County in 1805 and left Elizabeth Woodard things and I have never been able to place where she comes into the Keeling family. Do you know?

John was born in Stafford County, his date of birth is unknown to me. Mary was born in 1773 and died February 15, 1853. John petitioned the county to form the town of Jonesville on Dec. 10, 1792. John and Mary had nine children.
