Harry Woodington, Marine Deserter. George Woodington, West Coast Farmer
My cousin, well, fourth cousin, Lori Hahn, is the author of the family history blog, Me. Here. Right Now. Today she posted two excellent Woodington stories. Please check them out–they’re fascinating!
The first is about one of the Harry Woodingtons. I’m afraid we have yet another deserter in the Munson/Woodington family. Harry suffered some difficult treatment for gonorrhea in a military hospital and didn’t go back to finish the treatments after having been given a leave. It’s a fascinating read!
The second post is about one of Moses Woodington‘s brothers, George, who ventured to California presumably in the 1870s. He was one of the early settlers in what is now Orange County and worked in the developing agricultural business in California. I hope you will take time to explore Lori’s work.
