One of my relations insists that this line is connected to the Webbs that intermarried with the daughter of a Chief Braton of the Cherokees. The Webb line then married into the Woodward/Woodard line. My gg grandfather spelled his name Woodard but his brother spelled the name Woodward. Both were literature and signed their Confederate enlistment papers in 1861. No other information about Chief Braton has been found yet.
