About John W. Woody, III
John Woody-III: Compiled by Walt Cole, Rt 3, Box 459, Hatesville, NC 28904 & recieved by J.E.S. 9 March 1995. recieved by Carmen Johnson 20 June 2004.
John Woody, III possably married Mary Lindley b-4 Sept 1717 in Chester, PA daughter of James & Eleander Lindley. He operated a Tan Bark Still in Roxbury, MA. It is assumed the tan bark still was a leather tanning still. The word tan bark was derived from the name & the source of an acid which was an important ingrediant used in the tanning of leather. He moved to Maryland in 1744, to Haw River in 17?? where he recived a Royal Grant of 374 acres on the Haw River. He opreated a ferry during the Revoulionary War, Later settled in Orange County, NC about 17?? where he also operated a ferry.
On the debate side of who Mary Woody is; Mary Dell Wallace's theory is: John first married Mary Gowan in 1734/5 in Roxbury or Boston, MA. When she died he moved to Baltimore where he met & married Mary Lindley in 1738. (From the Woody Newsletter, by Mary Dell Wallace 61 W Sutter Rd, Paradise, CA 95969)
John was one of the first settlers on the Haw River on a road from Hillsboro to Guilford Court House on to Salisbury, NC & a historical ferry over which there passed Tryon & Cornwallis with their armies & many others.
John raised a large family on the west side of the Haw River Ferry & was killed by a lightening strike. He was without a will & acording to English Law all his property fell to his oldest so James, who divided it equally amoung his younger brothers.

John was the son of John Woody II and Mary Gowan. On 27 December 1738 at St. George Parish, Baltimore, Maryland Colony he married Mary Lindley, daughter of James William Lindley and Eleanor Parke. They had the following children: Eleanor, Hannah, Mary, Robert, James, Samuel, Joshua, Joseph, William, Ruth, and John IV. John died at his home on the Haw River at the relatively early age of 47. John III owned and operated a "Tan'Bark" still in Roxbury for the tanning of leather. He built a Ferry on the Haw River which was used during the American Revolution.
John's wife Mary was a Quaker and according to the New Garden Monthly Meeting minutes, Chester Co, PA pg, 280-282, Mary was disowned by the Quakers for marrying out of unity, (marrying a non Quaker). Apparently, John converted to the Religious Society of Friends (commonly known as Quakers) upon moving to North Carolina where he and his wife found a local community willing to accept them into the fold. This is made further evident by the fact that John is buried in a burial ground that is part of a Quaker monthly meeting house. The society never used the term "Quaker" but referred to themselves and their community as "Friends" or a Society of Friends". Unlike most religions , they did not build churches, met once per month and referred to the buildings that they met in as "Monthly Meeting Houses".
