     Cynthia Baker was born c 1812 at Georgia.

     Sir John Woods I was born in 1628 at England. He was the son of Richard Woods.⁷ Sir John Woods I immigrated in 1649 to Ireland. He died in 1689. He was buried at Co Meath, Leinster, Irish Republic.

      Sir John Woods I lived in Yorkshire, England. John served as a captain and cavalryman in Oliver Cromwell's army which invaded Ireland in 1649. He liked County Meath, Ireland so well he made it his home. All the Protestant Woods of Ireland ultimately descend from this man according to an article citing Landed Gentry, England by Burke of Burke's Peerage publications page 2267, no edition/year.

As of 2017 according to Woods family researcher Cecelia Fabox-Becker, the oft-report information that John Woods married Isabella Bruce is likely a myth. No evidence shows any of the several John Woods in Meath, West Meath, Offaly (King's) or Dublin were ever married to an Isabella much less an Isabella Bruce.

     Larry Grantham married Pamela Jane McDonald, daughter of Wallace L. McDonald and Dorris Laverne Weathers, a 1977.

     Mary Campbell was born in 1682 at Argyll Co, Scotland. She was the daughter of Unknown Campbell. Mary Campbell married Michael Woods, son of Sir John Andrew Woods II and Elizabeth Woods, in 1705. Mary Campbell died in 1742 at Albemarle Co, Virginia.

      The work on Mary Campbell's line remains underway while searching for additional records. Numerous Campbell clans left Scotland and went to the Ulster area of Northern Ireland. Several lines immigrated to America together as well. Some researchers noted Mary Campbell's name may have been Mary Catherine or Mary Margaret.

Mary's marriage record was not found in Scotland; more likely she was married in London where her father was serving in Parliament between 1705-1707. Additionally, brothers Michael and Samuel Woods were in Marlborough's first campaigns with the Irish regiments on the Continent, and every few years a number of men were being sent to London for awards for services such as knighthoods and money. The first such awards were made about 1705. Thus, Michael and Samuel were likely to have been in London at the same time Mary's possible father, the 3rd baron of Auchinbreck who was serving in Parliament and trying to find enough husbands and keep expenses down (he was not that wealthy) for about 13 children. The baron had also just acquired his third wife.

Controversy exists concerning Lady Mary Campbell's lineage. The Clan Campbell Society genealogist confirmed our ancestor Mary Campbell who married Michael Woods was not the third daughter of Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck, second son of Sir Duncan Campbell, in the service of the Duke of Argyle by his second wife his cousin, Lady Susan Campbell of Cawdor, whose father was Sir Archibald Campbell. Mary Campbell was born about 1682-1688; Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck died 14 Oct 1756 at the age of 74 thus dating his birth as 1681 or 1682 -- about the same time Mary was born. Another unproven theory was Mary was distantly related to the Duke of Argyle through a different line.

As of 2017 Woods family researcher Cecelia Fabos-Becker reported the two Campbell females who married two Woods brothers are Campbells of Skeldon in Ireland. The Campbells of Skeldon were a cadet house to Campbells of Cessnock, itself cadet to the Campbells of Loudon. In fact, the main line went extinct and the head of the Campbells of Cessnock became Earl of Loudon at one point. The family was originally from Ayrshire in Scotland, and came with the Montgomery Laird of Braidstane who became Viscount Ards in County Down. They were related through their maternal line the Shaw family. The on-line original papers, some digitized materials and her transcriptions of the Campbells and the Montgomery family are on her website www.AmeriCeltic.net at ancestors/documents and ancestors/sources.

Sisters Mary and Elizabeth Campbell who married the Woods brothers are not the sisters of Gilbert Campbell. Gilbert Campbell, third son of the baronet of Auchinbreck, married Prudence Osman and their daughter, Prudence Campbell married Andrew Hays. The Mary and Elizabeth in legal and will records who are sisters of Gilbert appear to be younger half sisters and they stayed in the UK and did not immigrate. Gilbert was the son of Sir James Campbell whose will named daughters Elizabeth Woods and Mary Woods, a Stuart daughter, and sons including Gilbert Campbell.

     Magdalena Woods was born c 1706 at Ireland. She was the daughter of Samuel Woods I and Elizabeth Campbell. Magdalena Woods married CPT John McDowell, son of Ephraim McDowell and Margaret Irvine, in 1733 at Ireland.² Magdalena Woods immigrated in 1733. She married Benjamin Borden II, son of Benjamin Borden I, in 1744 at Timber Grove Meeting House, Augusta Co, Virginia. Magdalena Woods married COL John Bowyer in 1754. Magdalena Woods died c 1800 at Lexington, Virginia.

      According to testimony in suits in Augusta Co, VA records and transport records found in Albemarle Co, VA Magdalena Woods married John McDowell as his second wife in 1733 in Ireland and immigrated soon after with him, his father and other members of the McDowell family. She was about 21 when married, this means she was born in about 1711 -- not 1706 as often reported. Her son Samuel was born in Pennsylvania after they emigrated.

Her sister-in-law Mary McDowell Greenlee described Magdalena's arrival in the Valley: "With her family she rode a white stallion wearing a green velvet riding habit that fell to the ground, and with a hat with twelve ostrich plumes." In the space of the next two years, the McDowell's built a log home, cleared and planted crops of hemp, rye and wheat and had two more children James and Sarah. As more people arrived and the settlement grew, Magdalene's home became the center of the community as well as the sales office for the Borden Grant. Her husband John was the land agent representing the Borden interests. One of the visitors received by Magdalene in early 1742 was Benjamin Borden, Jr. who was viewed with coldness and suspicion by Magdalene and the other settlers.

In Dec 1742 the newly appointed Captain John McDowell assembled his militia company in front of the house and marched off to fight the Indians, and it is here that his bloody body was returned and Magdalene prepared him for burial. Magdalene was not completely alone in the wilderness. Her son Samuel was seven and able to help with his three siblings, she had three servants, and there were McDowells, Greenlees, Woods and Wallaces living all around her.

After Magdelana's husband was killed she reportedly "sold herself into servitude." It was not easy being alone and when Benjamin Borden, Jr arrived to take over the land business after his father's death, the temptation was great to change her poor feelings about him. Benjamin had been interested in her even before her first husband died. There was a minor scandal about the quickness of the second marriage, but none of the local families blamed Magdalena; the family made sure that the Bordens paid dearly though. Essentially, Benjamin put her into a situation where she could not refuse his offer of marriage, even though it was less than one year after John McDowell died. It was not that something had necessarily happened, but Benjamin made sure it appeared there had been a compromising situation. Being a survivor Magdalena married Borden even though she thought him uncouth. The decision ultimately made her quite wealthy. They were married and he moved into the homestead. She had two more children by him, Martha and Hannah, before he and Hannah died from the smallpox epidemic in 1753.

Magdalena was one of the three women who placed their names on the call for the pastoral services of the Rev. John Brown to the Timber Ridge and New Providence Churches. When the Rev. John Blair "set in church order" the people of the Timber Grove Meeting House in 1746, Magdalena Borden placed her name on the roster; Benjamin Borden, Jr., being a Quaker as was his father before him, never became a member. Her signature to the call for the Rev. Brown indicates she was recognized as one of the mainstays of the congregation.

Magdalena was now executrix of two estates, probably the wealthiest if not the most eligible widow on the Borden tract, the richest woman west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and a famous beauty. She was a woman known for her decided force of character. Magdalena was described as tall and straight, handsome with dazzling white skin, big blue eyes, long yellow hair, a witty tongue, and great charm. An old letter tells of her riding a famous black stallion in a hunter's green riding coat with gold buttons and a bonnet of many plumes.

A young schoolteacher named John Boyer won her affections and in 1754 they were married. Magdalena's third husband, a school teacher, some-time accountant and estate manager named John Bowyer, came into the area as a younger son of a decent family. None of her children were grown yet and her household and estate were a mess. Bowyer brought order to her life. There was friction from the beginning; many said he was a pretender to the throne -- that he married Magdelene for her money. Others said he saved the business by bringing coherence and stability to a land business that was in a mess. He was charged with being extravagant and irresponsible in running the tract and by manipulation gaining control of Magdelene’s property. A vague family traditions was that Magdelene had a prenuptial agreement with John Bowyer, but he destroyed it. According to the custom of the time, his elevated social status would one day bring him the military rank of Captain, then Colonel. He would outlive Magdelena, marry again, and leave a fortune to his nieces and nephews when he died.

Thornhill was an estate that started out as land paid to John McDowell by the Bordens for surveying and helping to bring in settlers -- mostly family -- to the grant so the Bordens could retain it. John Boyer bought the land from the McDowells and added later land purchases to the estate, but did not build the mansion until around 1792. Thorn Hill Plantation mansion is about one-half mile south of Lexington on the left side of Thorn Hill road at what is now 1196 Thorn Hill Road, Lexington, VA in the 1990s. The mansion overlooks beautiful, rolling countryside. Boyer never had any children with Magdalena, yet it was his relatives who inherited Thornhill. Thus, the inheritance lawsuits unfolded; first the McDowell children had to sue to get their land, then Magdalena and Benjamin Borden’s only surviving daughter and her spouse had to sue John Bowyer.

Bowyer went on to become one of the first Justices of Rockbridge Co, VA along with his stepson Samuel McDowell, and remained a judge for 32 years and a State Delegate for 49 years. Magdalene lived to be about 90 years old and witnessed the founding of Lexington and Rockbridge, the birth of our nation, and the birth of many, many grandchildren. (Alex Taylor p. 391,Rockbridge County Heritage Book 1778-1997.

In identifying all the parties to the suits, the testimony laid out a lot of relationships. Additionally, two wills among the sons of Peter Wallace and Martha Woods identify Magdalena as Martha’s sister and the aunt of famous Captain Adam Wallace -- the tragic hero of the Waxhaws Massacre, killed by Tarleton’s men.

Magdalena died soon after the end of a witchcraft trial against her and her sister-in-law Mary Elizabeth McDowell Greenlee. That trial was underway in 1795 and maybe extended into 1796. There are mentions of it in Chalkley's Chronicles and it fills up two volumes of court records in Augusta Co. Magdalena died near the Timber Ridge Church.

     CPT John McDowell was born c 1707 at Co Londonderry, Ireland. He was the son of Ephraim McDowell and Margaret Irvine. CPT John McDowell married Magdalena Woods, daughter of Samuel Woods I and Elizabeth Campbell, in 1733 at Ireland.³ CPT John McDowell immigrated in 1733. He died on 25 Dec 1742 at Balcony Falls, Virginia. He was buried at 'Red House', Rockbridge Co, Virginia.

      When John McDowell first came to Virginia he stayed at the home of John Lewis, his cousin before proceeding to the John Borden land grant for which John McDowell became the surveyor. Magdelene's relatives also moved onto the Borden grant, including Peter Wallace junior with his wife Martha, who was Magdelene's sister. They located their farms next to one another on a massive ridge abundant with timber and called it Timber Ridge. Their plantations were built right in the middle of the Indian Trail.

Unlike the other settlers in the region, John stripped the bark from the logs when he built his log cabin and stained the wood red. His house thus became known as the Red House. On 28 Feb 1739 John McDowell made an oath at Orange Co, VA Court that he imported himself, his wife Magdalene, his son Samuel, and John Rutter -- his servant from Great Britian -- in the year 1737, a year which does not align with other records, but was likely given in order to quality for free land.

John McDowell was given the rank of captain in the militia. About 1 Dec 1742 a party of Indians came into the settlement in Borden's Grant on the way to raid another tribe. The Indians were entertained for a day by CPT McDowell and even treated with whiskey and then moved on. "They hunted, went to the homes of white people, scaring women and children, taking what they wanted, and shot horses running at large." Colonel Patton ordered CPT McDowell to locate the Indians and escort them away from the area which he did. At Balcony Falls where the North River comes into the James River the two forces met again, and when CPT McDowell stepped forward under a white flag he was killed.

     Benjamin Borden II was born a 1706. He was the son of Benjamin Borden I. Benjamin Borden II married Magdalena Woods, daughter of Samuel Woods I and Elizabeth Campbell, in 1744 at Timber Grove Meeting House, Augusta Co, Virginia. Benjamin Borden II died in Apr 1753.

     COL John Bowyer was born a 1726. He married Magdalena Woods, daughter of Samuel Woods I and Elizabeth Campbell, in 1754. COL John Bowyer died in 1806. He was buried at 'Thorn Hill' Plantation, Lexington, Rockbridge Co, Virginia.

     ENS William Anderson I was born c 1722 at Ireland. He was the son of John Anderson I and Margaret (Unknown). ENS William Anderson I immigrated c 1735 to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Reid, daughter of Joseph Reid, c 1742. ENS William Anderson I married Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Patrick Campbell I and Elizabeth Taylor, c 1746 at Augusta Co, Virginia. ENS William Anderson I died in 1793 at Augusta Co, Virginia. He was buried at Old Stone Church, Middle River, Augusta Co, Virginia. His estate was probated in Jun 1794 at Augusta Co, Virginia.

      William Anderson and his three brothers John, James and George were of Scot-Irish descent, meaning they had Presbyterian Scot ancestors who immigrated to Ireland in search of religious freedom before immigrating to America. The Anderson brothers immigrated to Pennyslvania where they lived for a while in Lancaster Co, probably in East Nottingham Township, Chester Co, PA. William was likely the youngest of the four brothers. William married first in PA to an Elizabeth, Mary or Margaret Reid who died in childbirth.

William and his brothers likely came to Virginia from Pennsylvania with the first wave of Scot-Irish immigrants who followed the pioneer John Lewis into Augusta Co, VA. Seven or eight heads of families who bore the name of Anderson were among the earliest settlers in the Shenandoah mountain area of Virginia. Four of the families consisting of William and his three brothers settled circa 1738 in the Old Stone Church neighborhood, at what is now Fort Defiance, and were among the first settlers in Augusta Co.

Virginia Land Office records show William and his brothers received from King George II large land grants in Augusta Co, VA as early as 1738. In 1740 William's brother George Anderson went to Orange Co, VA court and stated he imported himself, Elizabeth his wife, William, Margaret, John and Francis Anderson from Ireland to Philadelphia, and then to VA. From 1740 to 1744 records show William received grants amounting to about 1300 acres in Augusta Co, VA. William received a patent for 400 acres on a branch of Cathey's River called Anderson's branch, on the corner of James and John Hogshead's land, just outside Beverley Manor NE. William was granted a patent by Gov. James Blair for 90 acres on the south side of Cathey's River, Augusta Co, VA, bounded by John Moffett and John Francis. The William Anderson home was built on the Middle River south of Long Meadow and adjoined the Moffetts' property.

William added land by purchasing other tracts from 1747 until 1796. In 1747 he purchased 400 acres and later that year deeded to Robert Gilkeson for 75 pounds 400 acres on a branch of Cathey's River called Anderson's Branch, granted to him by patent in 1740 and cornered by the land of James and John Hogshead; his wife Elizabeth released her dower for this land sale. In 1748 Samuel Lusk, a farmer, deeded to William, notes as a yeoman, land on Middle River of Shannadoe, bounded by the land of John Finley. In 1756 William purchased another 82 acres. In 1776 for 200 pounds William and Elizabeth deeded John Daily 400 acres on the North Branch of the James River, opposite an island in Augusta Co, VA.

Numerous records show the Anderson brothers were prominent, influential and always at the front in defense of their country. The History of Orange Co, VA by Scott indicates William Anderson was an ensign in 1742 under Colonel Thomas Patton in Orange Co, VA. In 1760 William served under Col William Byrd and at King's Mountain. He is noted NSSAR Patriot Ancestor number P-103668,

The Anderson brothers were staunch supporters of the Old Stone Church as long as they lived and are said to have been buried in the old cemetery near this church. Neither William Anderson nor is his wife Elizabeth are listed on the index of graves published in 1953, however many early grave markers were wooden and long ago disappeared.

William Anderson's 27 Aug 1792 will proves his wife Elizabeth, his children and their spouses. At the time of his death he owned a plantation and tracts of land which were left in lots of about 200 acres each to his sons. He left daughter Margaret and her husband James Clendening land to be divided with her half sisters and their husbands; son John 244 acres; son Robert 149 acres where Robert lived; son Alexander 200 acres and also apparently the home plantation of 290 acres; ; son George tract known as Burnt Cabbin where George lived;

The name Anderson is Scandinavian and their remote ancestors came with the Danes, who for a time held the eastern coasts of Scotland and England from Pentland Firth to the Humber. The name is now fairly common throughout Scotland; in the highlands it is MacAndrew and in the lowlands it is Anderson.
