FOR FURTHER RESEARCH: Following is the first paragraph of a biography copied from http://www.nataliesnet.com/woodruff/davidwoodruff.htm It is possible but not proven, that this biography is of the descendants of David Woodruff and Hannah Jones. It is posted here as a possible clue for anyone interested in this line. The actual biography is much longer and should be read in its entirety at the above website.

"From Biographical & Historical Memoirs of Muskingum Co., Ohio, 1892 (transcribed as close to verbatim as possible)

"David Woodruff (deceased) was a native of Cumberland Co., NJ, born November 12, 1773, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Muskingum County, coming here as early as 1813. He was the son of David and Hannah Woodruff and the grandson of David Woodruff who was a native of England and who passed his entire life there. David Woodruff Jr (father of the subject), was also born in England and was the founder of the Woodruff family in America. The subject of this sketch, David Woodruff third, was married in his native state to Miss Deborah Mulford on March 9, 1800. She was a native of New Jersey, born January 27, 1776. They resided in their native state til 1813 and then with their children, three in number, emigrated to Ohio, making the journey in wagons. After arriving Mr. Woodruff leased land near Stovertown and there resided until about 1819, when he entered 80 acres of school land, the same on which his son, David fourth, now resides."
