Name:
Robert Wooding and Elizabeth Hill were never married; I've indicated they are partners, but on the tree she is still indicated as a spouse, and I didn't want anyone to be misled.

In his will, Robert referred to Elizabeth as his "loveing friend," and acknowledged that her illegitimate son, Thomas Hill, was his natural son and named him executor of his estate. Thomas then went by the name Thomas Hill Wooding.

Robert married Sarah Royal Terry Abt 1798, Halifax Co., Virginia. Sarah (daughter of Col. William Royall Terry and Susanna Thompson) was born 1782, Halifax County, Virginia; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
