  Notes	John and Mary Gowan Woody and their children were in the second wave of immigrants to reach the limits of what became Spring Monthly Meeting. They acquired a tract of land on the south side of Haw River and just above the confluence of Mary's Creek with that stream. The south end of a ford across Haw River was on their land. It came to be known as Woody's Ford; Woody's Ferry was near, and later Woody's Bridge was built. The remains of the pillars and abutments of the bridge are still visible. John Woody is said to have moved from Massachusetts to Baltimore County, Maryland, in 1744. At that time Baltimore County had an extended border with a Quaker section of Pennsylvania. A Woody tradition says that John Woody was a Quaker in Massachusetts and left there because of persecution; but this may be questioned since the persecution of Quakers is supposed to have ended before the date of his departure from New England.
