are familiar with the area between millerstown and upton you mentioned in your post about Noah Wooden? My ggrandfather is listed in a marriage record as born in Caswell Kentucky. When I click on the Caswell, Kentucky in the ancestry.com page it shows that Caswell is located at the intersection of hwy 224 (Millerstown Rd) and Caswell Lane and this Caswell Ln runs north but looks like it dead ends. On other maps I can't even find this road or the town/community of Caswell. Can you help or refer me to someone who knows about the old communities in this area? Thank you for your time, Cathy Jo

Re: Beal Wooden (b. 1759 in MD) DNA results

g_wood21 — 2009-10-26 20:21:56Z

Subsequent DNA results of mine regarding exact matches at 67 markers with other Beall descendants indicate that the most likely line of descent of Beal Woooden is indeed from the immigrant Alexander Beall b. 1649 Fife, St. Andrews, Scotland. I have matched exactly at 67 markers two descendants of Alexander Beall (born Alexander Bell, later changed name to Beall in America, but was still pronounced "Bell") who are descending from Alexander Beall through his son John Beall. Beal Wooden would not be the son of this John but the son of his son John Beall. The line of descent would then be...

Alexander Beall, John Beall & Verlinda MaGruder, John Beall & Keziah Wooden, Beal Wooden.

Once again, all male Woodens who are descending from any of the sons of Beal Wooden are really Bealls (Bells). Another interesting point to all of this is that it has also resulted in Beal Wooden descendants now being able to trace their line back through Verlinda MaGruder to the 1st and 2nd Earls of Argyll (Campbell) in Scotland and also back to Robert the Bruce and beyond. Beal is descended from Royal lines through Verlinda MaGruder which stretch back into Scotland, England, France, and many other European Nobility and Kings (From the Peerages)

Anyone wishing further information can contact me at my email.

Lainee,
I have a PDF file that I can send you via e-mail. It has two generation of Ransom Wooden descendents, which includes the time frame that you are interested in.
Some of the member stories in the file should not be considered a fact, since it is probably stories passed down from one generation to the next which, from experience I have found is usually not too accurate. The sources are included.

Re: Woodin/Wooden

simkat1 — 2009-01-05 23:45:43Z

I have a Sarah Wooden/Woodin,born around 1760 who married a Zepheniah Townsend around 1783. They were in Dutchess Co., NY 1790 census then were in Putnam Co. for 1800 census, and Ulster Co. for 1810 census. After that they disappear.

Family lore states that Sarah's father was Henry Wooden/Woodin and her mother was Sarah Wright. I found a "Henry Wooden" listed on the 1777 Tax List of Phillipse Patent which is the right geographic area.

I would appreciate any information on Sarah that you might have and where you found it.

Beal Wooden (b. 1759 in MD) DNA results

g_wood21 — 2008-11-25 02:59:14Z

I am a descendant of Beal Wooden who up to this point has proven a mystery to Wooden researchers in that he was always associated with the Woodens of MD and had been assumed to have been the son of John Wooden3. However, Beal did not show up in John Wooden's will or the will of his wife. He did seem to be associated with the family in that he lived nearby according to tax records. I had noticed that Beal had named his first daughter Keziah which had been the name of his supposed aunt who was the sister of John Wooden3. He had named his first son John. I also learned that Keziah Wooden had been indicted for bastardy in the year 1760 which was the year after Beal's birth and began to wonder if Keziah Wooden might have really been his mother and then suspected that she had named him Beal after the surname of the biological father.

To test this theory I decided to have my DNA tested. When the results came in I exactly matched or closely matched Beall men at 12, 25, 37 and higher markers. I had descended from Beal Wooden through his son Solomon Wooden. Solomon had been believed to be the son of Beal Wooden but no physical proof had ever been found. The fact that I am a Beall genetically proves two theories 1) that Keziah Wooden was the mother of Beal Wooden and that the father was a Beall and 2) that Solomon Wooden was the biological son of Beal Wooden.

DNA results seem to indicate that Beal Wooden was a decendant of Alexander Beall who was born in 1749 and immigrated to America from Scotland. Furthermore, my closest DNA matches indicate that the Beal was most likely descending through Alexander Beall's son John Beall. Subsequently I hired a genealogist in MD to see if he could locate the bastardy bond for Keziah Wooden hoping that it might name the father. The researcher did find the bastardy bond and it lists the name of the father as John Beal. I have deduced from this information that the likely father of Beal Wooden was John Beall, who was the son of John Beall who was the son of Alexander Beall. There are two other John Bealls who were about the right age to have fathered Beal Wooden. One was John Fendal Beall who descended from Alexander Beall's brother James Beall. The other John Beall is a descendant of Alexander Beall's son Ninian Beall (this is not Colonel Ninian Beall.) I most closely match descendants of Alexander's son John as I said above and that is why I believe that Beal's father was the John Beal I mentioned above.

My cousin Tim Freeman has the line of descent shown in his Freeman Family Tree on ancestry.com. Any male who is a direct descendant of Beal Wooden is really a Beall. The Maryland Bealls pronounced their name "Bell." I also believe that is why Beal is sometimes referred to as Beal Bell Wooden in some documents.

So, there you have it, a 249 year old mystery had been solved through the tool of DNA Study. For those of you so inclined, Beal's father, John Beall's mother was Verlinda MaGruder who was a descendant of King James IV of Scotland. This data can be seen at the Freeman Family Tree as well.

Anyone who would like to discuss this with me further can email me.

Hello
I am researching Wooden's from Chattanooga, Tennessee area also. I am at a brickwall on Fate/Fayette Wooden/Wooten. He was married 2nd to Deanie (she is listed in census as Venie, Linnie, Lennie). In 1930 census she is married to Charlie Dyke.
I found in a TN marriage record a Fate Wooten marries a Delia Millsap on 7 Aug 1904. This could be true because in the 1910 census it states they had been married 7 yrs (2nd marriage for both).
Children were Samuel, Pollie A, Mandy, Bessie, Harvey, Nellie, Carl, twins Edith & Ethel. Some were from his 1st marriage.
If anyone has information on these people. I would love to share info.

Thanks Tonia

3. 1870 census gives information that ages of James Fisher as 14 and Mary Jane Fisher as 12...1900 census states number of years married as 30

4. maiden name for Mary Jane indicated as Woodin from death and funeral home info for daughter Ada M. Fisher White Denton

Names of children for this couple:

Did James by any chance have a daughter Mary Jane? My 2nd great grandmother was Mary Jane born about February 1852. In 1870 census I find her married to James L. Fisher...they list their ages here as (if I remember correctly) 14 (James) and 12 (Mary Jane). This is a major brick wall and Mary Jane's maiden name comes from a grandchild that gives the information for the obituary/death info of Mary Jane's daughter...will have to go looking for that death info...can't seem to locate it right now...am getting ready for work.

Mary Jane and James Fisher named their children:

William Franklin Fisher born about 1876
Jesse S. Fisher born about 1881
Ada M. Fisher born about 1886
Milton Edward Fisher born about 1892

In every census I find Mary Jane in she is born in Missouri.
