The children of Richard and Hannah crossed the mountains from Chester County and settled in Menallen Twp., Fayette Co., PA near New Salem, shortly after 1800. They worshiped at the Sandy Hill Meeting House between Uniontown and New Salem. Many of them are buried at the Sandy Hill Quaker Cemetery behind the Meeting House. Richard and Hannah probably accompanied their children and their families to Fayette County.

It was uttered, handwritten and brought before the court on 11 Dec 1815. He asked for son Joe (Joseph Woodward Sr). He wanted to leave horse and $300.00 to Dick (grandson by son John).
