Leah, we corresponded sometime back and with a recent bonanza thanks to another family member, I will have a copy of Hannah Wood's Pension Application tomorrow. Hannah Wood's mother was Avis Beard who married John Wood, Sr. I think you and I suspected we had a connection. I will contact you once I have these treasured papers in my hands so I can share whatever info I glean from them. I am guessing I might hear from Dan Price and Bettie Wood, too, when they read this. Hope so, because I do not have their current e-mail address and we all KNOW we're kin, via Hannah - who married James William Maxwell. I bet this news stirs up this Maxwell Hot Line! I probably won't sleep at all tonight.
