I am on the trail of the DuBois that went to England. Changed their last name to WOOD, went to Ireland and then to the Pittsburg PA area. Accourding to a short family history done by Mrs.Lucille Kittle of Cairo, OH 45820. "We have two records of the French ancestors who were Huguenots driven from France by the Catholics during the Huguenot persecution. They came from Northern France and fled to England. The French name was Duboise but the name was changed to Wood in England, as the meaning of the name implies. The first of whom we have record was a man by the name of Richard Duboise Wood who probably lived around 1625 and served in the English army with distinction for 20 years. He took an active part in the siege of Barcelona, Spain, and was knighted. One record says that he married the widow of Captain Pennyfeather of the King’s Guards, an Irish lady who had been Maid of Honor to the Queen. One record says that his only known son was Thomas Duboise Wood, who married Mary Ann Cuttle, a Welsh lady. They moved to Slygo near Dublin, Ireland, and resided there for a few years. Their children Richard, William and Rachel were born there. In 1752 they landed at Philadelphia and settled at Hagerstown, Maryland. Thomas died about 1760 near York, Pa. His wife died in 1767." One of there sons William became a Baptist minister and co-founder of Washington KY. Who I am decended from. Is there anyone out there working on this line? I would love to know more about this side of the Wood pile:) Laurie Wood Brandt
