  from "Biographical and Historical Souvenir for the Counties of Clark, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, Jefferson, Jennings, Scott, and Washington, Indiana", 1889 [The father of James C Woods], Joseph Woods, was born in Pennsylvania, in 1793; he came to Indiana in 1816, and settled in Dearborn county. Here he remained until 1837, when he removed to Jefferson county, into what is now Monroe township, where he died in 1853. He was one of the first Justices of the Peace in Dearborn county, and was elected to that office in Jefferson county, where he held the office for none to ten years, and was serving at the time of this death. The mother of James C. Woods was Miss Isabel Bushfield, daughter of Samuel Bushfield, all natives of Ireland. The family of Joseph Woods was composed of nine children, seven of whom lived to maturity.
