Daniel Woodring was born September 13, 1836, in Quincy Township Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Aaron Woodring (1808-1891) and Elizabeth Heffner Woodring (1804-1887). About 1840 the family moved over the mountain to Iron Springs, Hamiltonban Township, Adams County where they acquired a 10 acre and a 15 acre parcel of land about a mile west of the rail viaduct near Iron springs. The property was located on a bluff on the north side of iron Springs Road. Aaron and Elizabeth Woodring would raise their four children and remain on the land until their deaths. Daniel's three siblings were David Woodring (1833-1900+), Mary Barbara Smith (1838-1893), and Jacob Woodring (1842-1916).
Daniel married Mary Ann Andrew (1833-1908) in Fairfield on October 14, 1860. He acquired 85 acres of land directly across Iron Springs road from his father. The farm was mostly bottom land along Toms Creek where they built a small cabin. Aaron and his father farmed the land raising crops and live stock. They also hired out as day labor to other farmers. During the winter months they would harvest timber from the mountain land for processing in nearby saw mills.
The couple raised ten children and one grandchild in the small cabin. The oldest, George Woodring (1857-1937) of Waynesboro was born 3 years before his parents wed. The census of 1860 shows him as George Andrew age 3 in the household of Andrew Bigham with Henrietta Andrew age 23. Mary Andrew is living in Fairfield at a hotel where she is working as a maid. It is possible Henrietta was the mother of George or it may be Mary Ann was his mother. Whatever the circumstances of his birth Mary Ann and Daniel Woodring adopted George early in their marriage. The 1870 census shows him in their household, age 13 with the Wooding name. The other children were as follows: David Woodring (1864-1959), Baltimore; Joseph Woodring (1873-1962), Hanover; Mrs. Henry Sherman (1863-1929), Liberty, Illinois; Mrs. Washington Gladhill (1866-1929), Mrs. Elmer Carbaugh (1870-1932), Aaron Woodring 1867-1946), and John Woodring (1876-1955) all resided in Iron Springs. Elisabeth Woodring (1861-1921) and Rachael Clara Woodring (1869-1870) preceded their father in death. The couple also raised Rebecca's first born child, Bertha Woodring (1888-1951)
Daniel Woodring volunteered for military service during the Civil; War. He was mustered into service at Camp Curtain on September 2, 1864. He served in Company G, 209 Infantry Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. His unit was assigned to the siege of Petersburg, Virginia. They participated in the Grand Review of the Army of the Potomac in Washington on May 23, 1865. He was discharged from the service on May 31, 1865 at Alexandria, Virginia. His service lasted 8 months 29 days. He first filed for a disability pension on June 27, 1890 and it was granted in the amount of $ 10.00 per month. When he died 36 years later his pension was $ 72.00 per month. His two brothers and brother in law, William Smith (1834-1904) also served in the war.
In 1894 his original cabin burned to the ground from a chimney fire. He built a new one and one half story house on the original site where he remained until his death. He regularly walked the 13 miles over the mountain to Waynesboro on a weekly basis, when he was well into 80's. He claimed the trains ran too late in the day and wasted his time. When he died he left 125 direct descendents, including eight sons and daughters, 47 grandchildren, 64 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren. He took great pride in his family reunions which were usually held in July when his entire family would gather at the home place to honor him. After his death Daniel's son John remained in the farm house until 1950 when he built a small cabin on the property. The farm house and 14 acres were deeded to Daniel's grandson, Howard Carbaugh and he remained there until 1980, when he moved to a retirement home in Gettysburg.
