Note: ! 1. History of Dearborn & Ohio Counties,1885. " ... John and Mary (Little) Woods, natives of Ireland, who came to America while in childhood, were reared in Pennsylvania(Allegheny Co.), where they were married and resided till the spring of 1817, when they removed to Indiana and settled in Ohio County, where Mr. Woods entered 160 acres of forest land, which he cleared up and on which his son William now lives. He died in 1837, aged fifty-four years. His widow survived until 1865 and died, aged seventy-seven years. They were the parents of nine children, seven of whom grew to maturity and five now surviving; Valentine C.,James A.,William, Joseph and Margaret, now the wife of Pryor Oxley...",pages 981-982. 2. Mt.Pleasant Cemetery,near Pate,Ohio County,Indiana. Tombstone; John Woods-27 Dec 1788 to 9 Aug 1832. I think the stones were misread as the family says that John Woods died in 1837 at age of 54 years. It should read; 27 Dec 1783 to 9 Aug 1837. 3.
