                                                 Fayetteville, NC

                                                 Jany 23, 1896

My dear brother:

     Pa  sends you the best information he can.

     His father married Delia Jones, about 1817 - he (grandpa) was born 

near Holly Springs, Wake Co. His brothers were William Woodward went 

away when a young man and was lost sight of - Christopher Woodward 

lived at Raleigh - The sisters Charity Woodward married Alex. Smith 

lived at Raleigh - Winnie Woodward married Mr Wood and went to 

Tennessee - Pa's grandfather was Pleasant Woodward, he moved from 

Jamestown Va to Wake Co about 14 miles from Raleigh. If there is a 

family record it is probable Bourbon Smith had it, he died at Oxford NC 

but I suppose his family reside there - if not in their possession 

there was a sister Samanthy Smith who married Mr Currie and lived at 

Scotland Neck NC perhaps she had an old family record - Pa's great 

grandfather Woodward came from England and settled at Jamestown 

Va - I hope this information will be what you want we are all well, 

and send love.

                            Affectionately your Sister

                                              Emma
