Thomas Woodlief and Martha Taylor had a daughter Patty. Robert Taylor, by
will proved 14 Nov. 1793, gave his niece, daughter of Thomas and Martha
Woodlief, 6 negroes. I do not know if Thomas and Martha had other children.
Also, Thomas Woodlief and wife Martha sold land to Peter Woodlief
(presumeably Thomas's brother) in 1787 (the year before Sion Hill was sold).

Thanks for the additional info on the NC Woodliefs and the text of George's

Sandy,
The comment below from my previous e-mail refers to a George probably two
generations farther along than George who married Norah. I'm not sure in
rereading what I wrote that that distance in time was entirely clear.

Hey, Quenci,
I, too, think this seems "likely," but I'll add the proviso that the records
of Brunswick, Greensville and Southampton counties really need to be
researched. As far as I can tell, they haven't been. I keep meaning to order
films from the Library of Virginia, but it seems my good intentions keep
getting way-laid. There are wills and deeds and court records that should
better document this branch, and may well answer questions concerning how it
fits into the earlier picture.
I don't think I'd en
Does anyone have this? I know it's problematical, but it seems as if there are some (2?) wills for George (son of John III). Sandy--what do you have? Woody?

Who was the father of Thomas Woodlief, and grandfather to Devereaux J.

I don't have information on all of the lines as many of you, and would
appreciate your help.

I would like to see the chart you mention, please.
I descend from Irby Epps whoe's father was a Francis Epps and they had a son named Woodlief, and Irby named a son Woody.

In all these years I've yet to figure out why it's believed that the
Woodliefs on Eaton's Granville Co muster roll belonged to George & Norah. If
you, Woody, or anyone else knows what serves as evidence of that connection,
I'd be grateful if you'd post it.

Hi Woody,
Thanks. The George in NC with wife Mary, was believed by Elizabeth Ann
Kerman to be one of the 4 Woodliefs of Eaton's muster roll and a son of
George + Norah. I this was the George on the muster roll, but beyond
that..... my research doesn't provide enough for much speculation.
This is the abstract of this George's LWT:
LWT of George Woodlief of Granville Co, abstracted by Timothy Rackley from
the original will, not the record-book copy:
GEORGE WOODLIEF planter of Granville County, North Caroli
Woody & Ann, I think my last message fell short of clear, and I'm sorry. I
believe this is one of those LWTs for which we have a reference but the LWT
isn't extant, hence we have no LWT.
Ann, this is the LWT you went hunting for at LVa, remember? Elizabeth Kerman
references the 1743 will of George as being the George who md Norah, whom
she concludes were the parents of all 4 Woodlief men listed in John Glover's
Co. in the 1754 muster roll taken in 1754 in Granville Co. of Col. Wm
Eaton's militia.

Quenci,
The simple answer to your question seems to be yes. The chart that you
mention is based heavily on the recent Wo
I goofed yesterday! I subtracted 12 years from the death date of the wrong
Edward. Here is the correcetd paragraph:
Now, to add a little confusion into the matter of Thomas Woodlief, we turn to
the will of Edward Woodlief, Jr., written 16 July 1759. (Edward, Jr. was
mentioned in his father's will (proved 1719).) Edward, Jr., bequeathed to
"Edward Woodlief son of Thomas Woodlief one negro ... [and] one small gun ..."
Who was this Thomas Woodlief? Clearly not the Thomas who married Martha
T
Woody,
First, thanks for the updated descendants chart.
Regarding Dorman and resignations.....
I agree that gaps in extant records likely preclude a full picture of the
entire Woodlief family, but that said, I don't want to become "resigned" to
anything. :-)
John Dorman seems to have done a very good job, and mostly I like his candor
in expressing uncertainty. Dorman's task was a very large one, tackling a

Listers,
Passing along a web site which might prove useful in your research. I'll
leave it to each person to assess the validity of it and how much weight you
want to give the various articles on it. From what I've read, it seems to be
pretty good, but just as is the case with any research, one source is never
good.... always consult multiple sources for everything.
Most libraries, or at least ones of any size, have access to databases such
as Jstor which contains articles from many different publications
