residence: Windsor Twp

John Woodard, the owner of a fine farm of 415 acres, located about two miles 
north of Windsor, was born September 5, 1816, in Randolph County, North 
Carolina, acquiring his education in the common schools of that locality. His 
father was born in May of 1792, in Virginia, and his mother in 1780, in Randolph 
County, North Carolina. They were married in 1812, and to them were born five 
children, three daughters and two sons, of whom there are living two sons and 
two daughters. They emigrated from North Carolina in 1819, locating in Howard 
County, Missouri, where he purchased 160 acres of land remaining there until 
1840, and then coming to Henry County. They settled near Windsor and resided 
there until death. Mr. Woodard died in 1859 and his widow in 1877. He left a large 
estate to be divided among his children. John Woodard had visited Henry County, 
then Rives, in 1836, pre-empting 160 acres in his own name, which is still a part 
of his possessions. About this time he was married. In 1859 he bought 140 acres 
in this county, and in 1866 he added 115 acres, lying in Johnson County, near or 
adjoining. Mrs. W. departed this life April 13, 1881. Some time ago Mr. Woodard's 
generous nature prompted him to aid a supposed friend, in consequence of which 
he became a heavy loser, yet he still has an excellent farm, and is now known as 
one of the honest and substantial men of this locality. He handles stock to quite 
an extent. His political views are Democratic.
