Robert Woodson

(1634 - Aft 1707)



Robert Woodson deposed in Jun of 1680 that he was 46 years of age or therabouts, and again on 1 Jun 1696, that he was about 61. He is called Robert "Tater Hole" Woodson because he's supposed to have been hidden in the tater hole when the Indians killed his father.
