Speculation: . . . a possible brother of Asa Woodward (they were both born in Kentucky in the 1820’s) ?????
63W. W. WOODWARD. Mr. Woodward was born in Calloway county, Kentucky, December 6, 1824. In 1843 his father moved to Greene county, Missouri, and engaged in farming. Our subject went to California in 1850, and returned to this county in June, 1855, and on December 4th, of that year, he married Miss Emily, daughter of William S. Landreth. His first wife died December 18, 1862, leaving one child, a daughter. Mr. Woodward was married the second time to Miss M. F. Gilmore, January 27, 1864. He has lived upon the farm, where he now makes his home, since 1864. Mr. Woodward is a practical surveyor, and was deputy county surveyor for several years.

Editors note: I am trying to connect these brothers and sister [W.W. Woodward; Asa Woodward; Jacob Woodward; and Penelope Woodward] to Edward Woodward. They are all living in Greene Co., Missouri after a certain date (as is Edward and Mary in the 1850 census) all seem to have a prior connection to Kentucky. This is a personal conjecture on my part and am seeking primary and secondary sources [or other peoples databases] to see if I a correct. My gg grandfather is Asa Woodward who married Sarah Van Bibber. Please write if you have any ideas/opinions on this family. Craig Snyder < coopsnyder@hotmail.com >
