Folks:
Eunice has sent us her Wood family information so we can compare it with ours.
Be sure to let us know if you find any differences between your info and that
submitted by Eunice as well as Nettie. Also, let us know your references. We
do have some differences in data that we hope to resolve.
A big thanks to Eunice for the following information.

I'm going to add to the mix. As Nettie stated, do NOT take MY file as
gospel truth. I submit it only for comparison to those already submitted.
Perhaps in the mix, we can sort out the problems with the lineage.
Genealogists with far more experience than me compiled these files and I
would have to bow to their knowledge.

--------). Stephen died cir 1781, Virginia. Joseph Johnson of
Lunenburg Co., VA made deed of gift to a tract of land in Lunenburg Co.
in the year 1756 to his son-in-law, Stephen. Stephen left a will in
Lunenburg dated 1781, proved in 1782, wife Ann. Children mentioned were
John, Sally, David, Patsy, Johnson, and George. If Stephen were the
eldest son then he had probably already received his part of the estate

for both the John Wood, and Stephen Wood lines.
