Woods family information is incorporated into the lineage of John and Mary (Espy) Woods and Col. David and Jane (Woods) Espy and was found in a book ("The Espy-Espey Genealogy Book with Branch Lines and Allied Families," Vol. 2, George Chapter II and by Rita Espy Kuhbander and William G. Espy (Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1987) and from Ruby Wigley Pullman, Charlotte M Brett, Lois M. Postel, Gloria Sutcliffe; and Joseph L. Delafield,"Genealogies of Penn. Families" published by the Genealogical Publishing Co. note that there are discrepancies! The Espy book does not show the descendants of George Woods, b. in 1740, but it does for 11a. John Woods, b. 1742, 11b. William Woods, b. 1747; and 11c. Anna Woods, b. 1753 all shown to be children of John and Mary (Espy) Woods. It states that John Woods was b. c. 1720 in Ireland, d. 1769; m. Mary Espy, b. 1722. It further states that John Woods was the son of Andrew Woods b.c. 1690 in Blair Park, Ulster, Ireland and d. Aug. 1756 in Lancaster, Penn. He and his wife Sarah (maiden name ?)Woods (born in Ireland) NOTE: People shown in red in this research note need to be cross-checked to see if each is properly profiled at Wiki.
