Subject: [VAAPPOMA-L] Descendants of Drury Woodson (1809-1899)
Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 16:25:40 -0400


Hello all,

Here is one more group of descendants which ties in to the Harvey lines
discussed previously. The Elvira L. 'Ella' Woodson who married Thomas
Wilson Harvey, Jr., was the sister of my ancestor Mary 'Mollie' Woodson;
both were daughters of Drury Woodson and Louisa Hendrick. I have more
info on some descendant lines that I have left out of this message in
order to conserve space. Just ask if any of these lines interests you.

Louisa Hendrick, due to her continual baking of bread on the day of or
the days surrounding the surrender in Appomattox, she earned the
nickname "The Doughgirl". Many years ago a doll was created to honor
her; I have at least two of them. The clothing of the doll was made
from the original aprons worn by Louisa Hendrick Woodson.
