WOODS in Massachusetts
Does anyone have knowledge of the roots in Ireland of a WOODS family that came from Limerick to Massachusetts in the mid 1800? Father: Patrick WOODS, wife Mary McNAMARA. They had four sons all born in Ireland. John b 1825/26, m Ann - children Patrick,Jennie,Mary,Katti,Margurite, & Henry - Timothy b 1828/30, m Hanna O'RORK - children John,Michael & Timothy Jr. - Michael b 1838 m Mary McMAHON - children John E. & Mary A. - Patrick (single). Two of Timothy's children, John & Michael were born in Ireland. The rest of the children born in Massachusetts. I believe the father Patrick may have had a brother Michael WOODS. This Michael wife's name was Ellen and they had a daughter Margaret who also came to Massachusetts and married Thomas HESSION. I thank you for any leads you can give.
