I am in possession of a bible which appears to have been the property of Moses and Peninnah Woodard Hough, although the entries in the bible were written by Emma Hough, their daughter I assume.I am not related to these folks.I was researching an earlier branch of the Hough family when I found this bible at a flea market and picked it up.
Moses Hough and Peninnah Woodard both recorded as from New Garden were married 9th mo, 5th day, 1842 at Jericho Friends.I believe this is the Jericho Friends meeting in Randolph County, Indiana.
There are typed pages which say that Peninnah was the daughter of Luke and Avis (Cox?) Woodard.Luke and Avis it states were from North Carolina.Luke Woodard died in 1842 and Avis Woodard married Henry Hill.
Listed in the bible are the names of the children of Moses and Peninnah Woodard Hough.
1.) Thomas Clarkson Hough b. 1.8.1846 m. Sarah Jane Fulghuum 11.15.1866 d. 3.18.1919
2.) Addison Hough b. 9.2.1848 m. Sarah Ann Jessup 4.1.1868
3.) Jane Hough b. 8.27.1851 m. d. 2.18.1877
4.) Melissa Hough b. 4.3.1854 d. 10.8.1855
5.) Martha Hough b. 5.23.1857 m. Edward Dalbey 4.18.1895
6.) Ella Hough b. 3.5.1859 m. Samuel Williams 5.20.1876 d. 3.22.1890
7.) Emma Hough b. 8.3.1861 m. Oscar M. Rhodes 6.18.1908
The typed pages tucked into this bible record information from "Uncle Addison's Family Record".I'm not real sure who this Uncle Addison is - I believe it is Addison Hough.The pages record the children of Luke and Avis Cox Woodard and those of Avis and her second husband Henry Hill.The information is not very clear.
Also, typed pages have the births and deaths of Moses Hough's Family, and T.C. Hough's Family.
Finally, there is a page called 'What Uncle Addison Wrote for the Reunion' which starts with 'In the latter part of the 17th century, about 133 years ago, there appeared a little maiden by the name of Avis Cox in the state of North Carolina and in a few yrs a man by the name of Luke Woodard also appeared.These two persons became the head of the Woodard blood relationship'.
The rest of this page is observations from someone else about Grandma Avis and Pa Hill, and some poetry.
