(*) It is asserted that Esau had no children. The two given here are on the
authority of Dr. John William Goodwyn, of Macon, Ga. "There seems to be no doubt about the children of Esau and Martha Tucker Goodwyn. The will of her brother, Hartwell Tucker leaves a bequest to neices Martha Pegram and Kissia Boisseau, daughters of sister Martha Goodwyn, decd.

He left a will dated November 1839 and probated November 1843 naming his children.
The cemetery is located S.side of Elk Ridge, right on Liberty Valley Rd., 5 1/2 mi. E. of Belfast. Marshall Co. Tennessee.
Other sources have said he was buried in the Woodward family cemetery in Marshall Co., Tennessee but finding the reference to the actual tombstone inscription would seem to dispute this.
William married Nancy Mayes 1 about 1790 in Nottoway Co., Virginia. Nancy was born 2 in 1766 in Petersburg, Independant City, Virginia. She died on 30 Aug 1865 in Barbour Co., Alabama. She was buried in Petersburg, Lincoln Co., Tennessee.
Living with Nancy in 1850 are Elizabeth age 37 and Nancy age 25. We would be inclinded to say that Nancy is too young to be her daughter but she is named in her father's Will. It is possible her age is wrong on the 1850 census..
She is shown as age 78 on the 1850 census of Marshall Co., Tennessee.

She was nmarried in 1839 when her father made his will. In 1860 she was found living with her sister, Lucy Woodward Sandifer. It is clear that Nancy could not be the biological child of Nancy Mayes Woodward but she is shown here since she is listed as a child in her father's will.
