She married William Jefferson Woodward in 1850 ^[3] he is the son of James Woodward and Elizabeth Johnson. This marriage had 11 Children: William H. Woodward b. 1852, Leeman A.

Research Note

According to the 1900 US Federal Census, she and William had been married for 49 years. She is not listed in the 1850 census with her brothers and sisters. I think they were actually married in 1850. That is the only reason I can imagine her not being on the 1880 Census with her brothers and sisters.

I am showing the mother of Emma as Betsey Haskell. This is per Emma's death certificate. I have sent the question of the profile owner of Patty Haskell. I have seen elsewhere that her name is Patty, but they called her Betsy.. just need verification.
