John J. Woodside

John J. Woodside is the 6th child of Samuel Cunningham and Jane (Morrow?) Woodside. He was born June 5, 1782 in South Carolina.

On December 7, 1813, John married Nancy F. Hamilton in Livingston County, Kentucky. Nancy was born April 3, 1796, possibly in Kentucky. Her parents are believed to be William and Elizabeth (Thomas) Hamilton, but I have not verified this.

John and Nancy had 11 children:

• Elizabeth - birth and death unknown.
• Lavinia C. - birth and death unknown.
• Martha Melinda - birth and death unknown.
• Samuel C. - birth and death unknown.
• Sarah Ann - birth and death unknown.
• Nancy F. - born about 1826 in Kentucky. No more is known.
• Esther K. - born about 1829 in Kentucky. No more is known.
• John - born about 1831 in Kentucky. No more is known.
• Patrick Hamilton - born about 1833 in Crittenden County, Kentucky, died before June 1900. Married Sarah C. Prowell July 20, 1854 in Crittenden County, Kentucky.
• Joshua K. - born August 1, 1835 in Kentucky, died May 30, 1898 in Illinois. He is buried in the Coulterville Cemetery, Randolph County, Illinois.
• Robert P. - born September 26, 1838 in Kentucky, died January 31, 1864 in Illinois. He is buried in the Coulterville Cemetery, Randolph County, Illinois.

John J. Woodside died December 29, 1855 and is buried in the Coulterville Cemetery. His wife, Nancy, died in 1869 at 75 years of age. Cause of death according to the 1870 Mortality Schedule was Palsey, and month of death was December of 1869. However, Nancy's gravestone states she died November 29, 1869. She is also buried at the Coulterville Cemetery.

If anyone can provide more information on this family I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
