The
1900 Bureau County, Illinois, US Federal census ED 14, sheet 11, Dwelling 202,
Family 219, for Sarah Giles Woodin Raisbeck reads that she had 13 children with
7 living. The following is my account of the seven living children. Please
share your research!
Martin
Luther Woodin was born 8 August 1873, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. On
22 December 1897 in Seneca, LaSalle County, Illinois, he married Eugenie Luella
Couch 1878-1959, my great-aunt. Martin Luther died 7 September 1931 in
Marseilles, LaSalle County, Illinois.

| Wilma Irene Woodin, "Billie" Thank you for sharing your family |
One
of their children was Wilma Irene Woodin, 1922-2016. Thank you to Wilma Woodin
Morey’s family for all these beautiful photos. Wilma was my 1st
cousin 1x removed.
Walter
Abel Woodin was born October 1869 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England.
According to Wilma’s notes, I read “Left home at an early age. Last known to be
in eastern U.S.” Using computer and
digital records, I have possibly found two wives for Walter Abel. At this time,
May 2020, I find no children. An estimated death date is between 1940 and 1957
in Maryland. Again, I am unable to find any death notices. See my online trees
at Ancestry.com or MyHeritage.com for more details.
Mary
Ellen married second to William Hopton, 1868-1956, exact date unknown, the year
was 1907 in North Dakota. Wilma writes, “A widower with several children she
helped raise.” According to the 1910 Burleigh County, North Dakota, US Federal
census, ED 25, sheet 15B, Dwelling 307, family 307, Mary Ellen had no children.
According to the 1920 census, the family had moved back to Marseilles, LaSalle
County, Illinois. Mary Ellen died in Marseilles on 24 September 1942. William
Hopton continued to live in Marseilles near the Woodin family until his death.
Ann
Woodin was born April 1862 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. She came to
America about 1880? Ann was married to George Edwin Stoney on 3 July 1883 in
LaSalle County, Illinois. Hopefully records of this marriage will be found in
the LaSalle County court house. When did George travel to America? When did the
family and their three children return to England? A son was born in England in
1895. The family is enumerated in the 1901 and 1911 census in England. Ann died
in Lincolnshire, England, in 1912. A death certificate for her would be
helpful.
Mary
Alice Woodin was born 26 October in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. In
January 1881, Mary Alice married Ruben James Haynes, 1857-1927, in Bromsgrove.
The family of six came to America about 1889 or 1890. The last child was born
in LaSalle County, Illinois. Mary Alice died in Marseilles, LaSalle County on
10 March 1926.

| Woodin, Hopton & Haynes family lived in Marseilles, LaSalle Co., IL |
Jane
Woodin was born January 1855 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. Jane
married Emanuel James, 1852-1913, in Yorkshire, England on 12 December 1881.
Jane died January 1918 in Derby, Derbyshire, England. The exact dates for birth
and death need to be verified.
Eliza
Woodin was born October 1851 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. This
information is from the 1861, 1871 England census and the Civil Registration
Birth Index. This is about as much as I know in records for her. BUT, here is
the conflict. I can produce index records from Ancestry that offer a suggestion
that her husband was Harry Barley. These are indexes only, not the actual
records. Most of the trees offer someone else. If I follow the records for this
other name, I have no connection to the middle name given to her. Also, some of
the records offer a surname of Wooding or even a father, Joseph Wooding. I am
able to find both Abel Woodin and Joseph Wooding in the same early England
census records. From my research, I believe these are two separate families.
Please offer records, beyond indexes or indexing of records to help verify this
family. THANK YOU!!!
