William Woody^1,2,3,4

• Marriage*: Principal=Margaret Brown⁵
• Birth*: before 1737; Estimated birth date based on William's military service in 1758 & the assumption that he was the son of the Henry Woody that died in 1764.^6,7
• Milit-Beg*: September 1758; Bedford Co., VA; William Wooddie is recorded in Bedford Co., VA militia as Private.(DLW note: We have no proof that this William was the same William found in the Bedford Co. tax lists.)⁷

• Event-Misc: 24 November 1781; Bedford Co., VA; Estate Inventory: Lynah Brown. Appraisers: Merry Carter, William Downy, William Woody.⁹
• Event-Misc*: between 1782 and 1814; Bedford Co., VA; Personal Property Tax List: William Woody was on every tax list from 1782 through 1814. In these years, William was noted with one taxable person, except as follows: 1790 - 1794; 2, 1795 - 1797; 3, 1798 - 1801; 2. However, if the taxables were the sons of Wiiliam, they either died or moved, since whey were not individually taxed in Bedford Co. The birth ages of these two of these males appear so be: 1774 & 1779. (DLW note: The will of William Woody does not mention a son)^6,10
• Event-Misc: 1784; Bedford Co., VA; Deed: William & Margaret Woody to Charles Jones. 106 acres on South Branch of Little Otter River, adj. Samuel Brecher, etc.¹¹

• Event-Misc: 2 February 1858; Bedford Co., VA; Chancery Cause Final Decree: This 227 page suit was initiated in 1850 and involved the stipulations of the the will of William Woody, the husband of Margaret Brown Woody. These terms resulted in William's slaves and their increase becoming the property of his wife Margaret and, at her death, becoming the property the children of his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of James Brown. In this suit, the names of James & Elizabeth Woody Brown's six children are named. None of these children lived in Bedford Co., VA at the time of the suit. A copy of the will of William Woody is on page 67.⁴

Parents:

Elizabeth Woody^1,2,3,4

• Birth*: 10 March 1774; VA^1,5
• Marriage*: 15 May 1794; Bedford Co., VA; Bond: May 13 1794. Sur: James Brown Jr. Consent: William Woody, father of Elizabeth. Married by James Turner.; Principal=James B. Brown³
• Census*: 1830; James Brown: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1/0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1.⁶
• Death*: 9 February 1841; Ralls Co., VA^1,5

Parents:

Elizabeth ?¹

• Marriage*: Principal=? Woody¹
• Note*: We think it is possible that Elizabeth was the Angeline Brown that married Samuel Woody in 1839 Kanawha Co., VA. In 1850, Elizabeth was living next to Moses & Charlotte Brown Milam with William A. Woody, 19, VA, Frances Woody, 17, VA, Martha J. Woody, 9, VA & Margaret Woody, 4, VA. We also think that these younger people were Browns or some other surname from a previous marriage of Angeline/Elizabeth. We cannot find Samuel Woody in the 1850 Kanawha census nor can we find any relationship between Angeline Brown & Charlotte Brown. Charlotte & Angeline were not sisters. Angeline was most likely a widow, so she may have been married to a brother of Charlotte. There is some circumstantial evidence to support the theory of the Brown children. The 1840 census for Samuel Woody does not seemingly contain a female that could be a wife that he married in 1839. A William Brown married Susanna Wiseman on Dec 26, 1850 in Kanawha. This family was enumerated in the 1860 Kanawha census. A Frances Brown, 23, married Jacob Grass on Jul 7, 1861 in Kanawha. Frances was born in Bedford Co., VA. We could not find out anything about Martha & Margaret Woody/Brown?. However, a William A. Woody, born 1829, married Charlotte Mauck in Lynchburg, VA on Mar 8, 1857.²
• Birth*: circa 1800; VA¹
• Census*: 15 November 1850; Kanawha Co., VA; Elizabeth Woody, 50, VA was enumerated living next to Moses & Charlotte Milam. With Elizabeth were Frances Woody, 17, VA, Martha J.Woody, 9, VA, Margaret Woody, 4, VA & Wm A. Woody, 19, VA. Charlotte Milam was the daughter of James & Elizabeth Woody Brown of Bedford Co., VA. Although Charlotte had a sister Elizabeth, she did no marry a Woody. We can't find any sisters for Moses Milam. William A. Woody seems to have removed/returned to Lynchburg, VA, near Bedford, by 1857.
• Marriage*: 17 August 1865; Kanawha Co., VA; John Fisher, 77 & Betsy Woody, 66. License: 15 June, 1865.; Principal=John Fisher³
• Death*: after April 1866³

Henry Woody^1,2,3

• Note: Evidence concerning the postulated children of Henry Woody: Benjamin was named as son of Henry on the 1804 Buckingham Personal Property Tax list. The death record for William names Henry & Elizabeth Woody as his parents. In 1814, Henry sold land to Benjamin, William & Henry Jr. at a nominal price.
• Note*: The father of Henry could be Augustine or Henry. I lean toward Henry for two reasons: 1. Henry Jr. had the money to acquire land in Buckingham, as he paid real estate taxes there from 1789-1834. There is no record of Augustine/Austin ever owning land. 2. Henry was recorded in Buckingham for 4 years when Augustine/Austin was living in Fluvanna. Since Henry Woody Sr. did leave a will, Henry Jr. surely received part of the estate.
• Marriage*: Principal=Elizabeth ?⁴
• Birth*: between 1750 and 1760; Estimated birth date based on 1830 Buckingham census age of 70/80.²
• Event-Misc: between 1773 and 1774; Buckingham Co., VA; Tax: No Woody tithables recorded.⁵
• Event-Misc: 17 May 1779; Buckingham Co., VA; Petition: Henry Woody signed a petition to disolve the vestry and choose a new one. Wm Martin also signed.^6,7
• Event-Misc*: between 1782 and 1810; Buckingham VA, VA; Personel Property Tax: Henry paid tax in every year except 1785 & 1799.¹
• Event-Misc: 23 October 1788; Buckingham Co., VA; Petition: Inhabitants of Buckingham asking that the Town for the inspection of tobacco be established on Nicholas Cabell's land in Amherst Co., just below the mouth of Swann Creek on the noth side of the James River. Among the signers were: Henry Woodey, Benjamin Wooddy & Samuel Wooddey.⁷
• Event-Misc: between 1789 and 1834; Buckingham Co., VA; Land Taxes: Henry Woody was taxed on property.^8,9
• Event-Misc: 1804; Buckingham Co., VA; Personal Property Tax List: Henry Woody & son Ben, 2.¹
• Census: 1810; Buckingham Co., VA; Henry Woody (Indexed as Moody): 1,0,0,1/2,1,0,1.¹⁰
• Event-Misc: 1814; Buckingham Co., VA; Deed: Henry Woody Sr. sold 50 acres to William Woody, 70 acres to Benjamin Woody & 70 acres to Henry Woody Jr. All the purchases were adjacent land and located on Jones Mill Creek, 10 miles west of Marysville (now Buckingham City). The buyers were Buckingham residents.⁸
• Census: 1820; Buckingham Co., VA; Henry Woody: 0,0,0,0,0,1/0,0,0,0,1¹¹
• Event-Misc: 1824; Buckingham Co., VA; Deed: Henry Woody purcahsed 100 acres on the Slate River, 10 miles south west of Maryville (now Buckingham City).⁹
• Census*: 1830; Buckingham Co., VA; Henry Woody: 0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1/0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1.²
• Death*: between 1834 and 1835⁹
• Probate*: 1835; Buckingham Co., VA; Henry Woody's estate sold 100 acres on Slate River by will. Buyer was H.W. Gerodin. (DLW note: The will was probably destroyed in the court house fire of 1869.)⁹

Parents:

Henry Woody^1,2

• Note*: Another mystery: Henry Woody is not recorded in the 1850 or 1860 censuses. He is in the 1870 & 1880 censuses with nephew Richard T. Woody.^1,3
• Birth*: circa 1800; Buckingham Co., VA; Est. Birth date based on Henry being listed alone on tax list for the first time in 1824 & on the 1810,1870 and 1880 censuses .^4,3,1,5
• Event-Misc: 1824; Buckingham Co., VA; Personal Property Tax List: Henry Woody, 1.⁵
• Event-Misc*: between 1830 and 1841; Buckingham Co., VA; Personal Property Tax: Henry Woody paid tax every year except 1833 & 1837.⁶
• Census: 2 August 1870; Nelson Co., VA; In the home of Henry Woody, 70, VA was Richard T. Woody, 9, VA.⁷
• Census*: 8 June 1880; John Tyree, 60, VA; Elizabeth, 60, VA;
  Henry Woody, 82,VA, brother-in-law, single; Richard Woody, 19, VA, nephew, single. (DLW note: We think Henry was Elizabeth's uncle so he would have been an uncle-in-law.)¹
• Death*: after 8 June 1880^2,1

Parents:

Benjamin Woody^1,2

• Note*: The evidence for the postulated children of Benjamin varies from strong to circumstantial. Nancy's marriage bond shows Benjamin as her father and John provided surety and was a witness. Booker & John gave their birth counties as Buckingham in the 1850 Buckingham census. The marriage license for Powhatten shows Benjamin & Lucy as parents. Allen & Powhatten lived adjacent in 1860 Nelson Co. census & gave their birth counties as Buckingham. Elizabeth Woody Tyree lived next to Powhatan in 1850 Nelson Co. census with Sally Woody in her home. Powhatan, John, Elizabeth lived very close to each other in the 1870 Nelson census. Henry lived with John & Elizabeth Woody Tyree in 1880 Nelson census. He was named a brother-in-law, but I think uncle-in-law would have been accurate. Powhatan & Allen lived adjacent in the 1880 Amherst census. The birth dates of John, Allen, Powhatan and Booker match very well with the males and their ages shown in the 1810 Buckingham census for Benjamin & in the1830 Buckingham census for Lucy Woody, the widow od Benjamin.

William H. Woody^1,2,3

• Name Variation: William L. Woody^1,2,5,4,6
• Birth*: 6 October 1813; Buckingham Co., VA^1,4,6
• Birth: circa 1821; Nelson Co., VA²
• Birth: circa 1824; VA³
• Event-Misc*: between 1832 and 1837; Buckingham Co., VA; Personal Property Tax: William Woody paid tax evry year.⁷
• Marriage*: 20 April 1840; Amherst Co., VA; Bond: William L. Woody & Paulina A. Woody; Security/Witnesses: Richard C. Woody, Paulus Powell, Pauline Woody, Samuel Garland.(DLW note: Two of William & Paulina America's children's death certificates name Stratton as their mother, so it seem that Paulina America seems to have been the widow of a Woody, perhaps an unknown brother of William. Richard Woody was likely another brother of the groom, William Woody.); Principal=Paulina America Stratton⁸
• Census*: 4 November 1850; Nelson Co., VA; The 1850 Nelson Co., VA census enumerates three younger children in the William L., 38, & Paulina Woody, 26, household: Frances, f, 9; Willie A., f, 6 & Wayatt A., m, 8/12. In addition a Nancy Woody, f, 22 or 72 is enumerated. The 1860 Nelson Co., VA census enumerates a Louisa Woody, f, 17. Because several other children's names and sexes incorrect, we have assumed that Louisa was Louis. This seems to be confirmed by a transcribed marriage record for 1867 that names Lewis H. Woody, 24, as a son of William America Woody. However, this leaves open the possibility that Louis was adopted or that the transcription is incorrect.^1,2,9

• Death*: 24 February 1881; Nelson Co., VA; 98y, 6m, 14d. Born Buckingham. Parents: Henry & Elizabeth Woody. Informant: Mary Woody, dau-in-law. (DLW note: Although Wiiliam's age at death was transcribed as 98, I think this is in error. He was ennumerated in 1850 as 60, in 1860 as 68, in 1870 as 77 and in 1880 as 90. So we assume that he was 88 when he died.)^8,7

Patsy Woody^1,2,3

• Note*: Patsy Woody was likely the daughter of Henry Woody. In the 1810 Buckingham census, Henry Woody was enumerated with a daughter that was the right age for Patsy. Patsy was born & married in Buckingham. When old Henry died in 1834/1835, his will stipulated that 100 acres of his estate could be, and was, pruchased by H. W. Gerodin in 1835. This looks like a Gividen to me and Patsy married John Gividen. I do not know who H. W. Gerodin was, but I am assuming that Patsy was the daughter of Henry.
