Although she may still have been called, "Lady" As we were still under British rule... This was not actually "America" until 1776 married Michael Marion Woods (about) 1704, children from this union:

Andrew 1722-1781 m/Martha Poage

Sarah 1724-1792 m/Joseph Lapsley

she was killed by Indians. One of the Woods researchers was the late St. Clair County, Missouri historian, John Mills. He once found the graves of both Michael Woods (Sr.) and his wife, Mary Catherine Campbell near the first site of the Forks of the James Meeting House, somewhere near Glasgow, Virginia. That site has now been lost. Graves were moved to accommodate either a freeway or highway junction, leaving only these two behind(flat marble slabs) -- and unmaintained.

On the monument that may still exist with these graves, according to the late Mr. Mills, is an inscription noting that Mary was the first white woman in the Valley (Shenandoah) murdered by Indians in 1742. It is believed this was the same incident in which her son-in-law John McDowell sold liquor to the Iroquois party on its way to attack Cherokee on a hunting excursion that went too far north

Mary Catherine was born in 1690 (or 1688) and married Michael Woods in 1704.

Thank you, Erica!
I STILL believe the notation that she married her FIRST cousin is important and likely someone has her correctly placed in their personal tree... She is still on the back burner for me but I will revisit:
"Michael Wood's first cousin. Her sister Elizabeth married Michael's brother Samuel."

Maybe for the lady but not for THIS line, I think

BOTTOM UP.

Mary Catherine Woods (Campbell)'s husband is Michael Woods, I

Don't be so stuck on the Sir James Campbell of Auchinbreck, 5th Baronet part. She is NOT his child. We all know that but she came from somewhere. It is a HUIGE clue that she and a sister married brothers and they were all descended from a common set of grandparents. Maternal side presumably for Mary.

I am unable to research this line yet. It will keep

*huge

I WOULD add a brother "Samuel" but the fields are locked :)
