Listers -
Ran across these folks while searching for another surname. This would
be the first year the son George would've shown up on a census - and
this family obviously has a deceased father and has moved from GA to
Caldwell Co, NC.

Does anyone know the source of this information about Nicholas? Or anything else that might add light for this Welsh Woodliffe?

Hi all,
I'm posting this to a few lists because I think this is something we all
need to be aware of and give *serious* thought to.
Last week vandals destroyed a cemetery in Missouri USA.
This is not "false alarm," the incident has been verified by the local

Dear fellow seekers: I descend from William Hancock who was a
contemporary, and I believe, an associate of Captain John Woodlief. William
Hancock was a member of The Virginia Company of London (Second Charter,
1609). According to an early history of the Hancock family, William sailed
from Bristol on the Margaret on 15 Sep 1619, arriving at Jamestown 4
December. This information is now in doubt since the passenger list for the
Margaret does not include William Hancock. (I have visited Berkeley Hundr

Listers,
According to earlier Woodlief research by Eliz. Ann
Taylor Kerman, Capt. John Woodlief (of Prestwood,
Buckinghamshire,and later of VA) married on 01 May
1609 in Steventon, Berkshire, to Mary ARCHARD.
Does anyone know the basis for the assumption that the
John Woodlief who married in Steventon, Berkshire, is
one and the same as the Capt John Woodlief of
Prestwood, Buckinghamshire and (later) Virginia?
I've not run across any evidence to link the two and
am wondering if anyone else has.

Has anyone located the WILL of Nicholas Woodliffe of
Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, who died ca 1510??
I have TWO references to Nicholas, but have had no
success in locating this document, so if anyone can
help, I'd very much appreciate it.
My first reference to Nicholas comes from early
entitled: "Royal Descent: Pedigree of Capt John
Woodliffe of Virginia through his mother, Anne Drury"
which states (Chart 1 #27):
Anne Drury married Robert Woodliffe of Peterley,
Bucks (died 1593) He was t
Well, that would be a "basis" - i.e., if we knew Capt.
John's wife was named Mary (at the very least; better
still that we knew her name was Mary Archard) AND if
we knew she hailed from Steventon parish over in
Berkshire. ;-)
But to the best of my knowledge, we don't know any of
those things.
So I'm back to the original question.....on what BASIS
- or by what logic - has it been "assumed" that the
John Woodleffe who married in May 1609 over in
Berkshire is the SAME John Woodleffe of Prestwood,
Buckinghams
Generally, people marry in the wife's home church. Why could this not
be the case?

Are the Virginia Company records on line? I think so. Sandy was able to

remembering correctly, her access was through JSTOR wh
But as I read the Virginia Company materials (I will check JSTOR tomorrow), Woodleef was on the ship Margaret, not already here, and helped equip it and was addressed as the head of the expedition on the ship. 11 plus 1608 makes 1619. So when would he have gone back to do all that? And why do they call him Woodleef of Prestwood (or wherever--I forget right now) and not Woodleef of Jamestown? It was my understanding that he married in England and brought his family over here after the Margaret arrived.

Dear List:
I haven't noticed any messages on the Woodlief Web for a long time, and am happy to see some of the people who really have most of the history on our Woodlief family and related families corresponding.Their great wealth of information certainly helps me with my struggling research.

Some of us are clueless.(Thats supposed to be a little humor)

Listers,
Any descendants of the following Thomas Woodliff (a druggist), please
contact me as I've run across something I am sure will be of interest.
Thomas Woodliff was b ca 1837/8 in PA, relocating by 1860 to CA, and by
1900 to Nevada. His occupation was that of druggist.
His son, Thomas (b ca 1867 in CA), also was a druggist in Nevada.
Thomas (Sr's) wife appears to be a Henrietta of Missouri.
Other children may be Henrietta, Clara and Frank.
