Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
John Woodard was a North Carolina colonist.

When John Woodard was born in 1755 in Surry, North Carolina, his father, Peter, was 25. He married Winnifred Broughton in 1774 in his hometown. They had one child during their marriage. He died as a young father in 1782 in Macon, North Carolina, at the age of 27.

Military

There is a John Woodard listed in the US Revolutionary War Rolls, 1775-1783 in the North Carolina 1st Battalion [1]. It is possible this is the same John Woodard.

Research Notes

Recently Woodard-2490 discovered a 111 Marker Y-DNA Match on Family Tree DNA that would indicate John Woodard or his father is probably the common ancestor. The match had traced their line back to Thomas Young Woodard 1770-1834 which makes him contemporaneous with William. Either a brother or cousin?

DNA - Descendants and ancestors in direct male line should be haplogroup I-M223 based on two descendants matching on Family Tree DNA big Y test.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Unfortunately, auDNA is not yielding overlapping matches - Bobbie, Eddie and Allen all match each other but no 3-way overlaps.

GED Match compare with Bobbie Long:

Largest segment = 8.9 cM; Total Half-Match segments (HIR) 8.9cM (0.249 Pct); Estimated number of generations to MRCA = 6.4; 1 shared segments found for this comparison.; 289644 SNPs used for this comparison.; 53.966 Pct SNPs are full identical;

Ancestors are a problem. There is no good citation for his father. Mary Snow was definitely not his mother since she was born, lived and died in a different colony (state)

Have DNA match with 6th cousin that traces back to John Woodard as common ancestor

I am pretty sure of this entry but - his father - John Peter Woodard - I have mostly found Peter Woodard in the records and not entirely sure if it's John Peter Woodard or if John and Peter are two different people with same age and perhaps ancestors.

I have Y-111 and Big Y DNA - as well as mtDNA (familytreedna) as well (Woodard paternal direct line)

I have had a mtDNA test

mtDNA only tests mothers - and direct female ancestors - will not match if you are male Woodard descendant - requires Y DNA or autosomal
