I just spent a month in Virginia, searching early county records of Virginia and Maryland (on my time off from work). I found the will of Joshua Guibert, in St. Mary's Co., MD, dated Nov. 10, 17843, probated Dec. 1, 1743. He names his wife, Jane, one son: Joshua, daughters, Elizabeth, Anne, Susannah Goode, and Mary Woodward. Mary Woodward's sons were Luke and Joseph Woodward, also named, as well as grandsons, Joshua and John Sandys. The testes were Martha Guibert and John Guibert as well as Jame Dickson. A note added notes that Anne and Susannah were her youngest daughters. As such, this has to be the same Mary Guilbert as you noted who married John Woodyard in MD in 1735. As such, by 1743, they only had two sons, Luke and Joseph, unless Joshua did not leave anything to other grandsons, namely Henry, b. 1738. FYI - I found records on lots of other Woodyards in Virginia and Maryland other than the brothers Richard and John. I am sifting throught the data and entering it into my gedcom as fast as I can to sort this out. But from what I have seen, there were other early Woodyards in the records as early or earlier than just John and Richard in Maryland and Virginia. The names were spelled back and forth between Woodyard, Woodard, and Woodward. Don't count on spelling to rule something out. There was no consistency back then in spelling. Vickie
