George Washington F. Woodcock was my ggg grandfather and fought in the Civil War and his Mother's name was Costin. He was married I think twice, the last was to a Celestial Ruth Pridgeon. He is buried at Bellvue, but when I was in Wilmington years ago I was unable to locate his grave.I know that he was a member of the Veterans organization, and I would love to have a picture of him. I think he died in 1906 or 1912.Lots of loose ends.
Seeking information on George Washington F WOODCOCK, b.NH Co., died 1906 in Wilmington. Married Ruth Emma Celestial PRIDGEN, b.18 Oct 1842, d. 16 Oct 1917. Any information greatly appreciated.
