Disputed Parentage

John is not the son of Tarleton Woodson and Anne Friend. This Tarleton was born in 1754 after the date of John's birth. In addition, this Tarleton Woodson purportedly had only two children, Charles born 1781 and Tarleton born 1793. John is thus being removed as son.Strutton-11 15:07, 27 December 2015 (EST)
