Biography
This Tarleton is often confused with his uncle Tarleton Woodson, son of Tarleton Woodson and Ursula Fleming.
Much of the information about the Woodson family comes from a series of articles in The William and Mary Quarterly. The error is in the first article and it is corrected in the third, quoted below:
"Page 256, last paragraph, should be rewritten so as to read as follows: 29 TARLETON WOODSON (Charles, Tarleton, John, Robert, John) served as major in the Continental line during the Revolution. He was made prisoner, etc. He married Ann Van de Veer, of the State of New York, and had two sons, (1) Charles, born 1781, died 1838; major in the war of 1812, and (2) Tarleton. He married, secondly, Ann Friend, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Friend, of Chesterfield. (Marriage bond in Chesterfield 1794.) His son Charles married Nancy Jackson, of Prince Edward county, and had issue Mary Thompson, who married Nathaniel Venable, Tarleton, Frederick, Charles Van de Veer, Anne Van de Veer and Elizabeth Jackson."[1]
Major Tarleton Woodson served with Second Canadian Regiment, Continental Army during the American Revolution.

A child's birth date (Woodson-373 born 1739) should not be before a parent is six years old (Woodson-141 born 18 Mar 1754) .
Tarleton was born in 1754 and his son John was born in 1734, ~20 years before his fathers birth.
A father must be aged 10 years before the birth of a child to preclude this error.
Please research dates and make any necessary corrections. Thanks!
