I am trying to identify the descendants of the Andrew Wood who received land under the Ulster Plantation scheme in 1609. Andrew emigrated from Aryshire, Scotland. His date of application was 20 July 1609. His surety was a John Wood of Geilston, Scotland. Andrew, with presumably his siblings or children (John, William and James) appears on the The Muster Roll of the County of Donegal, circa 1630, in the Barony de Rapho, then administered by Ludovic Stuart, of the famous family of Stewart, who was then the Lord Duke of Lennox. The following is a transcript of the muster list, that appears to have categorized individuals in groups indicating their proficiency with a particular weapon. Note that I have made no attempt to correct spelling, capitalization or other grammatical errors. ========================== The Muster Roll of the County of Donnagall 1630 A.D.

Further, that I have no additional information on any of the surnames listed above. Thanks for any assitance in helping me identify Andrew Wood's descendants. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
