JOSEPH B. WOODS, farmer, P. O. Moorefield; was born in Nicholas County,
Dec. 6, 1825, his great-grandfather probably came from Ireland to Virginia,
thence to Kentucky, before the Revolutionary war, and entered land in
Mercer and Jessamine Counties; returned to Virginia and died.  Thomas
Woods, grandfather of Joseph B., came to Kentucky in 1784, and settled in
Jessamine County, living for a time in Wilson's Station.  He served as
an independent scout in the Revolution for five years; died in 1845, aged
eighty-four.  Joseph Woods, father of our subject, was born in Wilson's
Station, July 7, 1784; moved to Nicholas County in 1815; married, the
second time, Dorcas Buckhanan, daughter of George Buckhanan; he left
nine children, three of whom are living.  Joseph B. Woods, of whom we
write, was raised a farmer.  On Sept. 12, 1868, he married Margaret,
daughter of L. A. and Elizabeth (Huddleson) Brown, of Bath County; has
no children; he served during the late war as an independent skirmisher,
principally to suppress horse thieving; is a member of the Presbyterian
Church at Moorefield, in which he has served as Elder since 1870; has
been President of the Moorefield and Upper Blue Licks Turnpike Company
since its organization in 1866.  In politics he was an old-line Whig
till [sic] the Rebellion, since which time he has been in sympathy with
the Republican party.
