Samuel Cunningham married Jane in Ireland about 1752 and had 2 children. He emigrated with his wife and children from Ireland to Charles Town, South Carolina on the ship Nancy (Captain Hannah Commander), about 1767. It is believed the younger child died at sea, since only Samuel, Jane and daughter Mary are listed in "A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina 1763-1773" by Janie Revill. His wife and daughter died shortly after in South Carolina.
In October of 1768 Samuel married Jane/Jennette Morrow(?) in South Carolina. They had 11 children, all born in South Carolina. Samuel moved his family to Kentucky sometime in the late 1700s. He died in Livingston County, Kentucky on July 22, 1819. Jane and several of the children moved to Illinois in the late 1820s. Jane died in Randolph County, Illinois sometime after January 1838.

Emma, I am a direct descendant of Samuel Cunningham Woodside. I, too, am retired and obviously into my family tree (it's 2:42a.m). I was very excited to read about Samuel. I haven't been able to find out what Jane's surname was. My family tree is: Judith Primas Catanzaro daughter of Wilmer H. Primas, son of Effie Irene Franklin Primas, daughter of Samuel Alvin Franklin, son of Martha Jane Woodside, daughter of Samuel Woodside, son of Samuel Cunningham Woodside.
It's nice to meet you even if it is over the internet.
