Notes
This is not the William Woodward for whom
Woodward High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, is named. That William
Woodward married Abigail Cutter in 1803. They built Woodward Free
School - Grammar on land which was later reconveyed
for the high school. He broke ground for the high school and was
at its opening exercises in 1831. They had no heirs, but he did
have a nephew named Osmond(?) COGGSWELL. His benevolence and name
appears elsewhere in Cincinnati.
According to family mythology, these 2 William Woodwards are
related. The exact connection is not known.
Pauline
Woodward Van der Voort is a descendant of William and
Nancy. Her family genealogy and school history research suggests
the high school founder is the older of the 2 Williams by about a
decade. So their relationship might be brothers, uncle to nephew,
or cousins.
Family records state James was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and
that he and his sisters went to Ohio before he married (1841).
