John Wesley Woodard

John woodard parents were of Irish Decent. They came from the Brunswick Georgia, and settled in the Poulan, GA. Sylvester Georgia..Worth County area. He died in 1947, but married a second time. I learned that he has a relative name Leonard Woodard of Norman, Oklahoma. He met my uncle George Woodard at a GM factory in OK. He told Uncle George that we were related and that he had lots of family information he wanted to share. He gave uncle his home phone, and asked uncle to call him in a few days. Uncle George did so, and Leonard stated his name on the voice mail. So uncle left a message with his contact info. Leonard never returned the call. In fact , a week later uncle called the number again, and it was no longer in service. I too looked up Leonard and located his,address, sent a letter with my background, and requested information on John, along with a self address stamped envelope. But I never heard anything. I have to assume that Leonard called Sylvester GA, and spoke to Tommy Bozeman, and Bozeman told him to keep it a secret. Bozeman took care of Grandpa Woodard. I think they may feel were after money. After all, John Woodard death certificate states he is Colored. The family disowned him when he married a colored wonan.. No information on his wife, our Great grand. Hopefully we can fill in the gap for history sake. Update 2022: johns wife was Mary Lewis-Woodard , her parents were Wiley Lewis and Martha Washington-Lewis. MARY is listed on the Native American Registry.
