I just received the most wonderful Christmas present ever. Woody saw a post that I made to Vinton Co., Ohio regarding an address request. At the bottom of my post I listed all the surnames that I am researching. He just contacted me asking what Woodruff's were I looking for. Jonah Woodruff was a very difficult brick wall. I just could not get past him. It turned out the Jonah was his gggg great uncle and sent me info and told me to come to his webpage for additional information. A BIG thank you to all of you that have done such a great job. I can see that many many hours and years have gone into this research. I now have Jonah and two more generation back.

From reading the research that you did on Benjamin Woodruff, I guess I am one of his descendants. Guy Woodruff was my father, so I guess I come from the Benjamin, Joshua, Benjamin, Picket, Albert, Roscoe and Guy branch of the tree. I have a lot of information on my side of the family that I would be happy to share. I have one brother, Guy Jr., three sisters, Ruth Jane, Betty Lou and Faye Joann. My son David married his 3rd cousin Kimberly Woodruff, the daughter of Gary Lee Woodruff, whose GreatGrandfather was Albert, Grandfather was John Lewis and father was Claude H. This is just some of my information. It sure would be nice to hear from some of relatives.

Sincerely, Gary L. Woodruff

Her mother was Phebe FitzRandolph, b 1775 in New Jersey d 1822, Fairfield, OH. Phebe's mother was Esther Woodruff b 1734 ???, d 1761 ???.

Recent correspondence from Mrs. Miriam Chalfant suggested that the parents of Benjamin might have been Asa and Abagail Robinson Woodruff of New Jersey. Do you think this could have been a possibility?

WOODRUFF, Fitzrandolph, Symmes, Hunter

Family

The earliest Woodruff I have is David. I know nothing about him. He had a daughter, Esther, who was born in 1734; married Benjamin Fitzrandolph, and died in 1761. I am assuming she lived in New Jersey since Benjamin was from there and their daughter Phebe was born  there in 1775. After the Revolutionary War, Benjmain was one of the first settlers in Hamilton, Ohio. There, Phebe met Celadon Summes, nephew of John Cleves Symmes. They married and moved to Fairfield, Ohio. Their daughter, Esther Woodruff Symmes, married William Noble Hunter, their son, Celadon was my great-great-grandfather.

I like your site. Do you have any information on Lt. Benjamin Woodruff's parents? Could Esther Woodruff possibly be his sister???

My great grandmother was Ann Woodruff, born 11 Feb 1829 in Trumbull County, Ohio. She married Jeremiah W. Bailey, born 26 June 1824, in Trumbull Ohio. They were married 24 October 1846 in Mahoning County, Ohio. If you are interested I could obituaries from my home town newspaper, because she died 19 January 1899 in Concordia, Cloud County, Kansas. I think her parents also came to Kansas with her in the early 1880's.

I am research my ggg-grandfather, Alexander Woodruff, who was born abt. 1809 in PA. He married Sarah Hogbin in Holmes Co., OH in 1832 and they subsequently relocated (1st) to Athens Co., OH and (2nd) Jackson Twp. Jackson Co. OH, where they lived until their deaths in 1890. I have never been able to determine who Alexander's parents were. His first son was named Eleazer which I thought might be a good clue but have turned up nothing. His second son was named Wilson for Sarah Hogbin Woodruff's father, Wilson Hogbin.
