First Woodson ancestor traced through early 17th century voyage
A classroom project uncovers a surprisingly vivid genealogical tale of Dr John Woodson born 1586 in Dorsetshire England who sailed on the ship George in 1619 with wife Sarah and 100 settlers to Henrico County Virginia. The account recounts 1644 Indian attack and Woodson’s death, with humorous family lore about a potato hole.
