The information in the Woodson genealogy is incorrect.While it is taken from the marriage record in Lancaster County, that record is also in error.There are 3 possible William Millers in Lancaster Co, Va who are contemporary with Mary Miller, wife of John Woodson.One is her uncle William Miller son of Randolph.This is the man that many descendents have thought was her father since his second marriage is the only other marriage in the Lancaster records for a Miller.However Mary Miller is not mentioned in either William's will recorded May 13,1719 Will Book 10 p 286 or Martha Taylor Miller's recorded March 21,1776. Martha's will listed no children or grandchildren.William's will mentions an unnamed wife and 3 children William, John and Frances.William and John are mentioned in the will of their grandfather Randolph in 1721, but not Frances.
William son of William has a guardian being appointed for him in 1726 which would indicate he is under 14 at that time.
The William who signed the consent for Mary Miller is her brother William.He is mentioned in the will of his grandfather Randolph as a child of John Miller along with Katherine, Mary and Henry.His brother John and sister Joan or Joanne (wife of Thomas Carter, Jr- mother of Jesse and Thomas)are mentioned as children of their mother Margaret.
This William marries Mary Heath in Northumberland County January 16, 1741/42. They move to Goochland Co.He is not the clerk of the court.
Henry marries Elizabeth Heath d/o Samuel Heath who is connected by marriage to Edwin Conway who was designated to tutor Henry in his mother's will.Henry leaves personal effects and land in his will in Goochland connecting him to Lancaster Co.
Mary daughter of John Miller is the wife of John Woodson.
