Dear Nancy, I have a book called "The Burlington Court Book of West N.J. 1680-1709". I looked up your William Wood and he is listed in the book with a few more Wood's. They may have a copy of the book there, if not and you would like me to send you copies of the pages that they are on. It is a very interesting book because they took them to court for things that we might over look today. And sometimes they sat on the Court. Let me know? My ancestor was Wm. Frampton and his wife Elizabeth Potter Frampton.
