Tasha managed to share a wonderful history lesson of the Woodwards - going back many generations to some of the Quaker meeting houses that she had explored during her sabbatical year. One of the stories - from Ira, the twin brother of RD getting kicked in the head by a horse - and not dying when he was a kid - was certainly quite matter of fact. The wills and testaments were also fascinating in terms of the limited rights that women, including the widow of the deceased, had at the time.
