Woods, compiler, Woods-McAfee Memorial on John Woods and James McAfee (Louisville, KY: Courier Journal Job Printing, 1905), online (https://archive.org/details/woodsmcafeememor00wood).

Neander Woods and the other author his cousin Rev. Edgar Woods were not trained historians, did not research Augusta and its daughter counties and mistakenly thought all the Woods in Augusta and Albemarle Counties were children of one emigrant couple.
