Wilson Times, 10 January 1950.
We have studied the cluster of plantations owned by the Woodard family near White Oak Swamp here, as well as the disposition of enslaved people held by William and Elizabeth Simms Woodard. The photos above and below depict the Woodards’ house, built in 1832.
Though the house seems to have been in fine form in the early 1980s, when the second photograph was taken, it has since been demolished.
