Anna, You are correct. Belfield Wood, son of Henry Wood, was the brother of Avarilla Wood Davis. Avarilla Davis, daughter of Robert D. Davis and Avarilla Wood, was the niece of Belfield. She did indeed marry John Crabtree, however her daughter Mahala was not John's daughter, but the daughter of William Guffey (brother of Mourning Guffey). Now, my understanding also is that Belfield had a son Belfield Jr. who married the Brummet that Brenda was asking about. I am presently working on the Davis clan. As you know, there is a connection among the families in Morgan TN, Wayne/Clinton & Madison KY, as well as Putnam MO. You probably have everything I do and more, but on the possibility I have stumbled over something you have not seen I'll be glad to share what I have. If you haven't seen my WorldConnect database lately, you might want to take another peek. I'm constantly updating these days as new information pours in. Fay P.S. I have just received a fresh batch of Davis surveys & deeds for Morgan Co from someone trying to connect. If you are interested, just let me know. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Anna L Bertram" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 10:22:53 -0700 >Brenda and All: >First - My interest in Avarilla WOOD is because she was the sister of the >Belfield WOOD who married Nancy KIDWELL and produced Sarah WOOD, March 20, >1820.
