How about this for a coincidence? I, too, am descended from a Wood: John Wood who resided in Newport/Portsmouth, RI, in the 1638-1658 time frame. His progeny moved to Dartmouth, MA, and in 1686 William Wood (mother's 6th great-grandfather) and James Franklin (father's 6th great-grandfather) both swore an oath of fidelity to the town of Dartmouth on the same day--probably at the same time! Perhaps I can be of some help with that side of your family, although my direct ancestors moved to upstate New York and then on to Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. They were Quaker ministers and traveled around quite a bit. Regards, John
