| Note 2: | The Woods had altered their name from du Bois, whose ancestors came over from France sometime during the late 16th century, to the Anglican version of the name, which translates to "Woods". They were a family who came from a long line of nobility which gave them access to land grants and marrying into other noble families from England and Scotland during the two centuries prior to their last journey to the New World. Historically, the Woods WERE NOT IRISH NOR FULLY SCOTTISH despite living in Ireland, much like the Buster Clan. The Woods originated from France, to Yorkshire, England and then had immigrated to Meath, Ireland. Before the Woods made this migration, a significant attempt to establish English control in Ireland began by Henry VII in 1494. When the English king dismissed the earl of Kildare from his post as lord deputy, and Henry VII sent Sir Edward Poynings in his place with a full contingent of English administrators. Poynings summoned a parliament at Drogheda in December 1494 which passed legislation to assert English supremacy, including the forbiddance of marriage between English colonists and the Irish. These acts, subsequently known as the Statutes of Drogheda (or more informally as Poyning's Law), remained in force until 1782. | |
