William Woods (East TN 1750s)
I realize that this is doubtless a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any information on the descendants of William Woods (b ABT 1725) who was the son of William Woods (b ABT 1695) of North Carolina.The 1695 William was the brother of Michael Woods of Blair Park and eventually settled on the Hycotee River in what is now Orange County NC. His son, the 1725 William, as the story goes, left the Hycotee River homestead very early on and moved to the the area that eventually became Jonesborough (Washington County) TN.Of course, since Jonesborough didn't become a town until 1779 or so, I'm not sure what it was called then.One small clue is that William's sister Mary supposedly accompanied him there, and she was married to a man named Strain.
