Fred Gordon, I have only a little info on my father's family. Unfortunatly when I was four my parents were divorced and I had no contact from him for almost 30 years. I finally got to meet him in August 1998 and he had a massive heart attack in September 1998. I was not able to get a lot of info form him. But here is what I have: Freeman James Wood -- Kingston,NY (my Father) Amity Wood---Myra(Buley?) Wood (his Parents) Amity Jr., John, Samuel --- his brother's Helen --- his sister (died at a young age) His parents and siblings have passed away and the family still left in Kingston will not give me any info. Thats all I have right now. I am currently waiting on my father's military record. Hope this helps, Sherri (Wood) Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: Ric <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 29, 1999 1:45 PM Subject: Re: James Gordon > Sherri, > I couldn't help but notice your maiden name (WOOD).
