My ancestor was Marium HOOD WITT, born Howard Co. 1825, died Howard Co. 1903. Perhaps her middle name came from one of your HOODS? All I can find are a couple of HOODS whom my WITTS and McCRARYS knew at their Baptist church. Does any of this ring a bell? Have you found out much about the HOODS? Glad to share all I know, too.
