In the year 1724 there came to Pennsylvania from the North of Ireland one Michael Woods, his brother William, and their widowed sister Elizabeth Wallace, and a number of their children. It has been a beliet in the Woods family that Michael, William, and Elizabeth had two brothes, James and ANdrew who migrated with them to America. At the dte of the migration Michael Woods was forty years old, and WIlliam was about twnety nine. Elizabeth was probably the eldest of the party, and about fort-two years old, and had with her at least six children byher husband, Peter Wallace, who was not long since deceased..... When we come to inquire about the parents of these individuals---Elizabeth, Michael, William, Jam3es and Andrew--- we raise questions, not all of which can be answered as fully and positively as we could desire. Some facts, however, are fairly well established. Without attempting to quote all that is given by the authorities [See "Note 5" of Woods, 1905]....the following exhibit...is deemed sufficient...

John Woods...married a MIss Elizabeth Worsop. This Miss Worsop was born November 15, 1656. and it is assumed as probablye that the John Woods whom she married was born about 1654...Elizabeth....was the daughter of Thomas Worsop and Elizabeth Parsons. The said John Woods and his wife Elizabeth had at least one daughter and four sons, to-wit: Elizabeth, Michael, William, James and Andrew, all of whom emigrated to America in 1724
