During an Indian attack, Sarah saved her two sons by hiding John under a tub, and Robert in the potato hole; hence "Tub Woodson" & "Taterhole Woodson". She set fire to a mattress in the fireplace, flusing out 2 Indians from the chimney, and finished them off.
After the death of John Woodson, Sarah remarried (2) a Dunwell who died leaving her with a daughter Elizabeth and (3) a Johnson. She left an inventory and nuncupative will recorded 17 Jan 1661 making bequests to John Woodson, Robert Woodson, Deborah Woodson, and Elizabeth Dunwell. The daughters were under age and John Woodson was the implied executor.
Land of Michael Johnson was adjacent to that of Benjamin & John Woodson in 1717.
