(perhaps Silas) 256 W361 WOODRUFF THOMAS $021 097 * Joseph Woodruff received a grant of 200 acres near Spartenburg, SC which would later become Woodruff, SC. He came to the area from Yadkin River Valley in NC after serving in the Revolution. One of Woodruff's sons, Thomas, remained in the area and "dreamed" of founding a town. His two son, Dr. Charles Pickney Woodruff and Capt. AB Woodruff were instrumental in carring out their father's wishes. The town of Woodruff is named in Thomas Woodruff's honor. The two Woodruff brothers worked vigorously to get the railroad to run through the town. With its completion in 1885, the town grew rapidly. The oldest standing home was built in the 1830's by Harrison Patillo Woodruff, son of Thomas. The home of Dr. Charles Pickney Woodruff stood where the Woodruff Post office is now located and the home of Capt A B Woodruff is now an overfloww parking lot for the Lanford Funeral Home. From: "Synopsis of the Early History of Woodruff" by Edna F Westmoreland * LDS, IGI records * DAR Partiot Index; Centennial Edition; p 3288 The following information is from the files of W Lindsey * According to Phifer, "Upstate Ancestors," p. 4, cited in file of Nathaniel Woodruff, Sr., a descendant of JW claimed that JW was a son of Nathaniel, Sr. Phifer notes that he settled on land in the southern part of Spartanburg Co., SC, next to Nathaniel, Sr., in the vicinity of present-day Woodruff, where his descendants have been prominent in local history. The family was closely associated with the Church of Christ on Jamey's Creek, which became Bethel Baptist church and then First Baptist of Woodruff. Many of the family are buried in the old Bethel Cem. * Del Jackson's 20 July 1984 letter, cited in file of Nathaniel Woodruff, says that JW married Anna Lindsey on 24 Jan. 1774 in NC. The marriage record is in what appearsto be a copy of a record of the bible of JW and Anna Lindsey, which also has the datesof birth of their children; this was published in NATCHEZ TRACE TRAVELER 4,2 (1984),p. 62. * JW is on Surry Co., NC, tax lists by 1777, according to Phifer, "Upstate Ancestors," p. 4, cited in file of Nathaniel Woodruff, Sr. * In an 18 Feb. 1984 letter to me, Del Jackson (see file of Nathaniel Woodruff) says that JW is on a 1782 Surry Co., NC, tax list along with Moses, Nathaniel, and Thomas Woodruff. The tax list shows him with 200 acres south of the Yadkin. JW was received for baptism at Bethel Baptist church (then the Church of Christ), Jame's Creek, Woodruff, SC, 16 Sept. 1787--see minutes of Woodruff, SC, First Baptist Church, 1787-1804, 1810-1811, as abstracted by Dorothy H. Phifer. * On 1790 census in Spartanburg Co., SC, with 1 male 16+, 4 other males, and 3 females. * JW died testate, with a will dated 22 Sept. 1817, Spbg. Co. (estate file box 32, package 9, WB A, pp. 124-5). The will specifies that JW is of Spartanburg Dist. It leaves to wife Anna a slave Luce and a featherbed and furniture, with the slave woman and her increase as well as the furniture to be sold at Anna's death. The balance of the property JW asked to have sold and the proceeds divided among his heirs, with the following exceptions: to sons Samuel, Thomas, and Caleb, as well as daughters Polly Allen, Eunice Sparks, Sally Hendrix, and Elizabeth Allen, $100 each; to daughter Anna Woodruff, $250. The will implies that son Joseph had died, but also states that son Joseph is to be willed $2 (and note that Dorothy Phifer says he died in 1856). Exrs. are John Crocker and Nathaniel, son of Thomas Woodruff. The will was recorded 18 Dec. 1817 in WB A, pp. 124-5. The will was wit. by Wm. Lindsey Allen, son of John Peter Allen and Elizabeth Lindsey, sister to JW's wife Anna. Note that JW'sdaughters Elizabeth and Mary m. siblings of WLA. The will is abstracted in Brent Holcomb, SPARTANBURG CO., SC, WILL ABSTRACTS 1787-1840). *The estate file shows that on 24 Nov. 1817, John Crocker and Nathaniel Woodruff, exrs., noting that the estate was somewhat insolvent, and of a perishable nature, and the legatees being mostly of age and desirous of a quick sale, asked that the court permit as quickly as possible to permit the sale to be held. For the sale of JW's estate that was left in wife Anna Lindsey's hands until her death, see her file. * In a 10 Feb. 1995 letter of D Gaines to Dorothy Phifer, DG tells DP that she had recently obtained the estate file of JW, which contains a petition to dispose of the share of the items left to JW's wife Anna per his will, to the heirs of the esttate. The list includes Elizabeth, wife of Caleb Allen, Caleb Woodruff, Anna, wife of Dennis Lindsey, Polly Allen, Sarah, wife of James Hendrix, and Samuel Woodruff. * According to James Woodruff (cited in file of Thomas Woodruff, son of Nathaniel), the tombstone of JW reaqds "In Memory of/ Joseph Woodruff Senr/ who departed this life/ 2nd Nov. 1817/ Aged 66 years" (citing SPBG. CEMETERY SURVEY, by Pinckney Dist. Chapter of SC Geneal. Soc., 1993). * Unless otherwise noted, all dates of birth I have recorded for JW's children are from Del Jackson's 20 July 1984 letter, cited in file of Nathaniel Woodruff.

The stone of JA reads in part, "Memorial of Rev. James Allen, who departed this life 6th ofJan. 1826 age 50 yrs. 2 months and 12 days. 24 years proffessor of Relgion in the Baptist Denomination 6 yrs of last of live devoted to the Sacred Ministry." I have a photocopy of a picture of the stone, which appears to have had a very extensive inscription on it. * Will is in Spartanburg Co. estate file 289, naming wife Mary, and children Elizabeth Cox, Joseph Allen, John Allen, James Allen, Moses H. Allen, Sarah Allen, and Polly Allen. The will refers to "all children not of age." Exrs. are Joseph and Matthew Allen.The will is dated 2 Jan. 1826, and wit. by Henry Cole, Sr., Jesse Cole, and Ozborn Cole (WB A, p. 84-86; box 1, pkg. 4). The will was recorded 13 Feb. 1826. * A transcript is in Brent Holcomb, SPARTANBURG CO., SC, WILL ABSTRACTS 1787-1840, P. 136. " An 18 May 1826 note in the estate file states, "Honord Madam, these lines is to inform you that there is no doubt of Thomas Lindsey being dead and there is but one living child of the heirs of John Lindsey decd and Jemimah Lindsey thinks herself intitled to his part of money, etc." This note would seem to have been sent to Mary Woodruff Allen, who outlived her husband. Jemimah Lindsey was the daughter of MWA's uncle Thomas Woodruff. Why was her husband John Lindsey entitled to a share of James Allen's estate?" 52.
