A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Martha T. (Patsy) Woods
The birth information for Martha is from the Ancestral File, submitted by James Hotchkiss.
It's a little odd that on Ancestry.com, in "Virginia, Marriages, 1740-1850", there are two marriages between John Wilson and Martha Woods, one day apart. One on 23 Jun 1817 in Albemarle Co., the other on 24 Jun 1817 in Augusta Co. It appears that those were the same marriage, recorded in two different places. I think the explanation is that the first date is for the marriage bond and the second date is for the actual marriage. Here is a bit of a letter from Katherine Bushman to James Hotchkiss, dated 11 Nov 1991:
The marriage bond of John Wilson and Martha T. Woods is recorded in Albemarle County, Virginia, dated 23 June 1817. The Second Marriage Record of Augusta County, Virginia, 1813-1850, page 8, married by John McCue on 24 June 1817. John McCue was pastor of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church.
I obtained a copy of the marriage bond from the Albemarle County Clerk, and actually it is dated 24 Jun 1817. It is for $150 and is stated to be for a marriage between John Wilson and Martha T. [?] Woods, daughter of Micajah Woods.
