Edward WOOD
SOURCES: 1. Ancestral File
Edward was not listed on the records prepared for me by Univeersal Genealogy Co.He is listed, however, on the Ancestral File. Since he shares the same (approximate) birthday as Elizabeth, it appears that the two were twins. Also, it iscommon to name the first male child after the father, so I have elected to add the name to my file....Bla
Ann Wood was not listed as a child of Edward and Ruth (Mousall) Wood on the family group sheet which I received from Universal Genealogy Co. However, she is listed on the Ancestral File and it appears that there is reasonable documentationto include her......Bla IGI file has Ann as the daughter of Edward Wooddes and Ann, a spelling anomoly only. We used the sealing to parents date from the Wooddes spelling. UniversalGenealogy had a birth date of Abt 1625. IGI had a birthdate of 3 July 1625- we used the IGI date.
SOURCES: 1. Ancestral File PARENTS: Per "New England Families" referenced he is possibly the son of Thomas Wood, which varies from the Ancestral File, the latter record which we used.................Bla 04/20/02
