Freda,
John Strain was a son of the Lancaster PA John Strain Sr and Mary Woods apparently.John Strain was a nephew of William Woods II of Lancaster PA and later of Guilford Co NC and Washington Co TN.John Strain's aunts/uncles were Sarah Woods/David Carson and Margaret Woods/William Carson, also from Lancaster PA, who moved to Guilford NC then to Washington TN.The Mitchell family of Caswell NC also connects to the Woods/Carson lines (and Strains indirectly).
John Strain was an attorney in Washington Co NC...listed as "Esq" in various records.
I'm still sorting out the numerous Carsons in Washington TN and earlier.The used the same names repeatedly, which is a challenge.
