John Jr. Woodall (b. Abt. 1710, d. Bef. 1810)
Notes for John Jr. Woodall:
THIS IS AN EMAIL NOTE FROM JEFF WOODALL TO ANDREW MARSHALL
We have your alleged John Woodall b.1704 in Goochland Co., VA. He was the older brother of my ancestor William Woodall b.1709 and we have him marrying Judith *Sampson? ca1729 and dying sometime after 1740. The source for this is St James Northam Parish, VA
Quoting from research found in Ruth Ransford Mason's Woodall Book:
"It is documented that John and Judith had other children than those listed here: John Woodall Jr .b.ca.1730 married Dorothea Pledge in 1756, Sampson Woodall b.1734 married Sara Steel in 1755, and the youngest son Jacob Woodall b.1740 married Agnes Hicks in 1763. Recorded in the St James Northam Parish, VA. Family members of these early generations lived in Henrico, Goochland, Charlotte, and Halifax Counties, Virginia although John Jr shows up in Wilkes County, GA in 1874 per Index to Headright and Bounty Land Grants 1756-1909. Descendants of this family feel that this John and Judith moved to South Carolina but if the only proof is a 1787 Anderson County will where a John and Judith signed as witnesses - then their theory is suspect. Another John Woodall was in that vicinity who left two wills - both dated 25 February 1806. The children from his first wife were clearly listed - William, Joseph, John, Sara (Power) and Ann (McCutchen). The only child from his second young wife Judith was Thomas Holmes Woodall (teenager) with his half-brother Joseph acting as guardian as stated in the will. These two willd made no mention of sons Sampson and Jacob, etc., showing that John and Judith from the two wills are a different family than John Woodall b.1704 (who also married a Judith)
*Sampson? - no documentation of Judith's last name as Sampson.
Happy Holidays!
