• Notes

  From "The History of the Woods Family, with a genealogy of Alexander Woods" by Roy Cleo Woods, 1936 Frances M. Woods of Washington, D.C. in 1897 sent papers to Mr. and Mrs. James B. Secrist, West Newton, Pa., in which she said that her line was descended from James Woods, son of Sir John Woods. Sir John disinherited this son James because he married Deborah M'Lellan, a daughter of the gatekeeper. In Pennsylvania, as late as 1829, lived a James Woods who was of this line. He was a brother of the father of Alexander Woods, 1768-1848. For sake of convenience we will call this father Alexander, 1st generation. Besides Alexander ad James of this 1st generation were two sisters. One married and had son, James Leard, also called Laird. The other sister married and had a son, John Donnel.
