Notes

Note 1

findagrave has note that son John Riley Woods: Great grandson of Captain Samuel Woods, a Revolutionary War hero.

note in Bentonville there is Dysart Woods Lane, off Tiger and NE J

1st wife Sarah died 1859 and is mother of Levi O…In his Will, Dysart refers to “his mother Elizabeth P Woods” his second wife, widow of George H Jefferson. Dysart’s daughter Cynthia Adaline Woods married John J Jefferson, son of Elizabeth P and George H Jefferson. John J and Cynthia named one son Dysart W Jefferson and another John Riley for Dysart and Sarah’s first son.

Hence the 8 children of Cynthia and John Jefferson have 3 relationships with Dysart Woods:

1 Grandfather

2 Step Grandfather

3 Second Cousin, 2 times removed via John Holmes and Jennet Wilson.

Note 2

1840 Census images on Ancestry.com has 6 images for pages 17 to 19 of Osage Township, Benton County, Arkansas that are incorrectly indexed as Bailey Township.

In the left margin, vertical pages 17 and 18 and is written “Benton County, Osage Township”. same place on page 19 isn’t clear but probably also “Osage”
