Asa Woods came to this county with his family in 1836. They came in a two-horse wagon and were on the road six weeks and the old gentleman was sick nearly the entire time. Asa Woods' brother, Salem Woods, came to McDonough Co., Ill, in 1931.

!REF: History of Fulton County, pg 1177 "...occupied a well worn farm in Madison County, N.Y. and there married..." "...arrived in what is now Union Township, Fulton county, in August, 1836. Asa Woods' twin brother, Ira, had come with his family to Fulton County a year earlier (1835)..." "...he is recalled as a man of strong character and steady purpose, characteristics which accompanied the majority of the early settlers from comfortable homes in the east to a region of which they knew little or nothing."
