History of Early Members of the LDS, Vol. XIV; Death shown on 17 Dec 1903. "George was one of the original pioneers of Utah. He was with the wagons that made the first start from the Winter Quarters for the Rocky Mountains on April 5, 1847. Returning to Winter Quarters for conference, he joined the camp at the Elkhorn River again on April 7, 1847. He described the artillery of the camp as consisting of one cannon, rigged up like a wagon, with a span of horses and a grain box. He was one of the pioneers of southern Utah and became a prominent citizen of St. George, Utah." --LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, 1951

Early History of LDS Members, Volume XIV: "Thomazine and George were married by Rev. Moore."
Apparently had one child, as the 1860 census indicates (Household of 3), however, no information on child has been obtained. This could be the "Mary" that is indicated, as a Mary Woodward is buried in St. George, Utah, with Thomazine and George Woodward. Cemetery records also indicate her date of birt as 12 Dec 1814, not the 10th.
Given name also appears as "Thomazin" and "Thomasin", and as "Thomazind" in the cemetery records. I suspect the latter is a typo error considering the adjacen location of "e" and "d" on a keyboard. In husband George Woodward's autobiography ("Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 2, p. 618") he refers to her as "Thomazin".
"History of Utah", Vol 4, p. 63, by Orson F. Whitney, gives their marriage date as 1843, not 1842. It also states they "have one child, a daughter -- Mary Woodward".

Found on the SSDI 3-16-99, SS # 511-88-4806 Apparently unmarried. As the family moved from Freeport to Wichita in 1919, one can likely assume her birth place was Wichita. Verna's Social Security application, dated 27 Jun 1984, provided the maiden name of her mother, Olive Martin, which had eluded me for two years. Sadly, from viewing the application, it appears that Verna was a mentally-handicapped person. She signed the application in a child like scrawl, "Verna", with no last name. The application was witnessed by two persons with "SW" after their names (for Social Worker), only done when the person applying is not fully competent.
