I have two WOOD lines. One came into AL from GA around 1850, and the other from NC. about 1830. My Josiah WOOD was born in GA abt. 1825 according to the 1860 Marengo Co.,AL Census. Daniel S. WOOD was born in NC about 1790. Josiah's son, Charles Walker WOOD, was my great grandfather. Also, I do know that some of your WOODs married WALKERs. I will be happy to share any information that I have with you.

Does anyone know how Phoebe Wood or Woods ties into these Wood/s lines? Phoebe Wood/s married Asa Parker (b. 1775 Duplin Co., NC) about 1800. They lived for many years in Jefferson Co., GA before moving to Monroe Co., AL by 1830 and Lauderdale Co., MS by 1840. Lauderdale borders on Sumter Co., AL which was mentioned on the message board. In the early Tax Digests of Jefferson Co., GA they are listed near Solomon Wood and John Woods. Glad to compare notes!
