Happy New Year all!
I'm looking for any/all information on my g-grandfather Onnie Woods.
Here's what I do know thus far:
He was born 9/2/1884, according to his WWI Draft Registration card (dated 9/12/18).His full name, going by the card, was Lee Onnie Woods.
Father unknown, his mother was Molly Woods.He had 1 brother Jesse (born abt. 1880) and 3 sisters Slona, Dona, and Liza.
He had one child by Betty Willingham (b. Abt 1890); her name is Cornelia Woods Newsome (b. 1903 and still living in Harpersville, AL).
He married Minnie Lee Brasher (b. Mar 1885) in 1904.They had 9 children:
Annie Woods Thompson (1904-2005)
Lera Woods Garner (3/8/1906 - 9/27/1985)
