Individual Details

Joseph was born about 1685. Said to have married Elizabeth Mattox,daughter of John Mattox Jr. & Margaret Kent.

There are disagreements among the Woodson genealogies concerning the Joseph Woodsons. Some genealogies place the children of Joseph and Elizabeth Parsons with an earlier Joseph who married Elizabeth Maddox. Others believe that earlier Joseph, born maybe 1685, was the father of Joseph, born about 1715 who married Elizabeth Parsons, and the grandfather of Joseph Woodson of Genitoe. Actually this works the best with known marriages, etc.

Here is one version of the children of Joseph and Elizabeth Mattox - however - they appear instead to be the children of Joseph and Elizabeth Parsons and the grandchildren of Joseph who married Elizabeth Maddox.
