For questions email Site Coordinator Nadine Holder on the About Us Page.
Be sure to reference Woodward site with your question as I volunteer on other web sites.
*************************************
An explanation about PLACES AND DATES - we have a fairly lengthy note on the Pennsylvania map page but not everyone will find it there. Throughout the site in posting birth, death, and marriage dates and places we have tried to follow the practice of putting down the name of the place as it existed on the date cited. We feel this will help researchers in knowing where to obtain original records. Many researchers instead use the modern name of the location so it can easily be located on a modern map, hence you may see discrepancies between our place names and those of other researchers. There is more about this on our About Dates & Places Page.
************************************
WARNING: Geocities closed down their web site in October 2009. Some of the update links below may have a Geocities address that will no longer be functional. All of our pages have been moved to this web site and our files will be found here. Marion Monk has also moved his web site to Rootsweb at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monk/ so any of the broken links below for his families can now be found there. Click on the surname on his home page for those you are looking for.

Updates
10/13/2011 Updated the Eavenson page to show that Mary and Sarah were separate daughters of Hannah Eavenson and husband Thomas Arnold.
3/16/2011 Updated the John and Rebecca Mills page.
8/25/2010 Hannah Woodward's death date has been corrected on the home page to 10-30-1812 as given in "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy" by William Wade Hinshaw, Volume 1. The Encyclopedia also contains the information that she died about 11:00 p.m. We have also added a possible child to the Abraham, Jr. page: Hannah Woodward married to Ezekiel Inman.
August 2010 Have just received a number of Jefferson County, Tennessee documents from Vance Woodward and as soon as I can digest them will be adding information to various files and posting update information here.
3/17/2010 Added some corrections to the William Millikan page passed on to us by a descendant and from various sources. We appreciate the help!
2/28/2010 Added Daughters of the American Revolution membership information for Millikan, Mills, and Mendenhall families. Though, as Quakers, none served in the Revolutionary War, they have qualified through patriotic service during the war.
12/30/2009 Added a photo of the Beehive (Richard Woodward, Sr. House) to the page. It is a large file and somewhat slow to load.
10/1/2009 Added information to the Jane Woodward Williams Page on an additional daughter of the Amos and Nancy Harris Williams family.
6/4/2009 M. D. Monk has moved his site pages from Geocities to Rootsweb (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monk/). All the index files on this site have been updated. That was a lot of updating and we may have missed something so if you have any problem reaching a site please email Nadine Holder at the link above.

12/23/2007 Made some changes to the family of Richard Woodward, Jr., choosing to follow the information from "History of the Woodward Family" by Dr. Lewis Woodward (1879). His research is meticulous and seems to make more sense.
10/29/2007 Made some changes in language on the Millikan page to more clearly delineate what has been researched and what is still theory. We heard from another Millikan researcher and thank her much for her discussions of the page.
8/14/2007 A new page was added for Isaac Marshall, son of Abraham and Mary Hunt Marshall.

2/20/2006 We have not worked on this site for awhile as we have been busy moving our entire Mercer County, Illinois, history site to Rootsweb. You can view it at Life on the Mississippi. An unusually large number of descendants of people on this Woodward site also passed through Mercer County, Illinois at some time is why we also did that site.

10/1/2006 Moved over the page for John and Keziah Manlove Wheeler. This will start us into the many, many Mills pages (sigh!)
9/30/2006 Moved over the page for Richard and Jane Thornbrough Mendenhall Jane's parentage is not known for sure and links were added to both Thomas Thornbrough and Walter Thornbrough of Pennsylvania. Richard Mendenhall was son of Mordecai and Charity below.
9/29/2006 Moved over the page for Mordecai and Charity Beeson Mendenhall

2/15/2006 Moved the Esther Woodward Wilson (daughter of Richard, Jr.) page to this site.
1/29/2006 Moving some of our pages that were done with Yahoo Pagebuilder are rather beyond our abilities in html programming so we practiced with the Indiana Map page and are fairly satisfied with the results.

11/14/2005 Rootsweb is back and running and all our files were safe. Today we moved the Thomas and Elizabeth Woodward Thornbrough page here and updated the index accordingly.
11/7/2005 As people have probably noticed Rootsweb has had hardware problems with their freepages server and we have not been able to access the pages - our home page still seems to be down. Today we updated Eliza Woodward Frazier's Page. We still have quite a bit of additional data to organize and add to this page.
10/18/2005 Several updates to the Aaron and Mary Woodward Mendenhall page. We find there is an enormous amount of information on Marion Monk's Web Site (children of Samuel and Abigail Shelley Woodward) that we have not indexed. We are continuously working on updating the index pages, trying to do at least one per day.

Yours truly is getting little done on the pages. Am concentrating on keeping the homestead from falling down in the Arizona floods. I do spend some time each day in catching up on eight months of unanswered correspondence about web pages. Sorry folks - so far have not figured out on how to work on more than one thing at a time!
8/6/2005 The move goes on, though painfully slow, as we continue to answer questions and do volunteer lookups. We are also rewriting some of the pages before moving them. We have moved the Revolutionary War and Civil War Pages here and have made a cover page Quakers and War that is linked on the home page now on this site.
6/12/2005 We continue to move pages and index pages. B, C, D, pages have been moved and E, F, and G soon will be. The links on the home page to index pages are updated as we move the pages.
4/26/2005 More pages have been moved. New index pages here are O, and Thornbrough. Links on those pages have been moved here. We have moved the Thomas Thornbrough V Family page to this site.
4/1/2005 Many more pages have been moved. We have started putting index pages on this site and linking them on the home page.

3/13/2005 Moved Patrick Welch to this site.
2/17/2005 We are working on moving more of the children of Harvey and Rachel Woodward Welch to this site. William and James Welch have been moved.
2/10/2005 Moved page for Harvey and Rachel Woodward Welch to this site. Previously moved the page for Stephen and Sarah Welch Carr.
2/4/2005 Pages moved in the last few days include: William and Lydia Ellen Welch Carr; John and Lydia Martin Woodward and the Revolutionary War page.

1/9/2004 The page for William Woodward's parents, Richard and Deborah Stanfield Woodward, has been moved to this site.
1/5/2005 The page for Abraham Woodward's parents, William and Eliza Marshall Woodward has been moved to this site. On the Home page it is linked under "Abraham's Ancestors" in the Links box. In moving this page we discovered that the Yahoo site had lost our Woodward Wills page so we retyped it and loaded it on this site instead. It is linked on William's page.
12/31/2004 Have finished moving the pages for Abraham and Hannah's children. Have also moved the Woodward Index page to this site and it is linked on the home page here.
12/10/2004 We are beginning a process to move these pages to Rootsweb as the level of service from Yahoo has fallen dramatically. The home page at Rootsweb is http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~mygermanfamilies/Woodward.html. Don't be put off by "My German Families" - I didn't have this in mind when I started the rootsweb page and there is currently no way to change the title! Besides the Woodward home page we have moved Abraham Woodward's Biography, Hannah Woodward's info, and are starting to move the children. The pages will be in both places for awhile and we hope not to confuse people too much.
