Notes for JAMES DRAYTON WOODSIDE, SR.:
[Woodsides, Gaults, Whams & Related Families.FTW]
The Woodsides were originally Cunninghams in Scotland in the early 1600s. When the English King disposed the Irish Earls in Ireland and seized their lands, the Cunninghams were among the Scots resettled in Ulster to counter-weight the Roman Catholics. Some of the Cunninghams befriended the Catholics and the clan split. In referring to the Cunninghams, the question arose as to which group was meant. The ones on the wood side became known as Woodsides.

They came to this country in 1798 by way of Charleston, S.C. They returned to Ireland and while there their third and fourth children were born, Jean in 1800 and later Jane (called Jennie). The old Woodside Home was a tract of 100 acres a gift to Agnes Gault Woodside from a Mrs. North who probably was the daughter of Rev. John Drayton of Charleston, SC, who built Drayton Hall and planted Magnolia Gardens. The Draytons had one daughter named Eliza Elliott who married a North. The Draytons were friends of James and Agnes Woodside and wanted to adopt their daughter Jane (Jennie) to which they would not consent, but agreed to let her stay with them until she was grown. Eliza Drayton and Jennie Woodside grew up like twin sisters. James and Agnes had seven children. Sallie, James Drayton, Jean born in Ireland in 1800 and married James Gault (don't know what relation to Agnes), Jane (called Jennie) born in Ireland and married her first cousin James Woodside, John (called Creepy John), Ellen and Nancy who married a Barron.
