. There are different family stories on his family. He either lost his wife and both children at sea or he lost his wife and one child at sea. Since he received 50 acres for each Jane and Mary, I think that they at least arrived in the colonies, but died shortly thereafter. On 6 Apr 1768 he received a land grant for 200 acres (100 for himself as headright and 50 each for his dependents Jane and Mary). The land was in Craven County on the headwaters of the Sandy River on a small branch, the dry fork of Sandy Creek. Indications from the deeds recorded in Chester County tell us that Samuel Woodside never acquired more land for when he sold out in Sep of 1806, he sold only 200 acres of the originally recived land. Capt.Michael Dickson's Company, commanded by General Thomas Sumter, and was in the snow Campaign,Florida Campain, Battle of Fish Dam Ford and Blackstock and that he served until the surrender of Cornwallis. Her pension was denied for lack of proof. (Pension#R.11833)
Jane states in her pension application that Samual died 22 Jul 1819. HIs estate was settled in Livingston Co. Ky, 13 Aug.1819.
A declaration of Samuel's service in the Revolutionary War was given by Jane in her 1838 application for widow's pension. Robert Clark, an acting justice of peace in Randolph Co, Illinois took down Jane's declaration.

"Samueln Woodside was a private in the company of Capt. Michael Dickson when there was an order made for men to fortify Charlestonthat he,her husband, volunteered his service and went to Charleston But whether he went under the Command of Capt Dickson or not she cannot tell but she thinks he did for she knows said Dickson went to Charleston at the same time, she further states that her husband informed her at one time when he was at home that he was then under the command of one Capt Adams, that when Charleston was taken by the British that her husband with many others retreated to North Carolina that he returned un the command of Col Thomas Sumpter, that he was in the Snow Campains, that he was under the Command of Col Sumpter until after he was surprised at the mouth of Fishing Creek, that he was in the Battle at the fishdam ford, that he was at the Battle of Blackstock.that he was a Volunteer and was in actual service from the time of his first volunteering to go to fortify Charlston until after the capitulation with lord Cornwallis."
Janes application was denied because she could not prove she was married to Samuel. Very few areas had marriage certificates in the 18th century.
Samuel served on several juries of the Chester County Court in 1785 and 1797. The 1790 census in Chester County shows Samuel and James and 9 children. They did not have any slaves. The 1800 census shows a 10th child and one son, David, had started his own home. Robert had already left for Kentucky. Samuel sold for $1,000 to Alexander Quay 200 acres on 17 September 1806.
Samuel left South Carolina, following his adult sons and daughters, and his wifes family to travel to western Kentucky, Livingston County, where he died in 1819. Four sons moved on to Southern Illinois.
He died in Livingston Co, Ky. Not necessarly Smithland. Smithland is the county seat and that was where his will is recorded. The first county seat of Livingston was Centerville a now defunct town in Caldwell Co, Ky. There is a Livingston Presbyterian Church and cemetery in Centerville. He is more likely buried in that cemetery along with his mother in law.
Family story is that the family name was Cunningham. In order to distinguish from other Cunningham families in Ireland, they were called Cunningham by the Woodside. Later they dropped the Cunningham and just went by Woodside.
Samuel married Jane/Janette Morrow, daughter of David Morrow, Oct 1768, Chester Co, SC. Children: Nancy, Robert H, Martha, David, Mary, John, Samuel C, James, Elizabeth and Sarah
