Sorry, I don't have those names in my records. I have taken my WOOD line back to David M. Wood b. 1800 in Ct and moved to Delaware County, NY ca1820. I believe, but have no solid proof, that his father was Obadiah WOOD. I desperately wish I could make a connection with someone.

Melissa, Not sure that this will help you, but I have a book called "Some Connecticut Nutmeggers Who Migrated", by Grace Louis Knox and Barbara B Ferris. There is the following that might lead you somewhere: Caleb - bc 1780 in CT. Caleb m Abigail NN, bc 1778. They resided in Sidney, Delaware Co, NY. In the 1855 census he was 70 and she was 72 years old., with Seeley 33 years and Susan 31 (w/o Seeley), both b in Delaware Co, NY. (1855 Census Delaware Co, NY) There is also a listing for an Elisha who went to Otsego Co, NY; Sanford to Monroe Co, NY; Solomon to Kirkland, NY (or Clinton, Onedia Co, NY) Then, a Samuel Woods to Wells, VT; Samuel to Oneida Co, NY. I only gave the data on Caleb since he went to Delaware Co. Patty At 11:50 AM 11/19/2006, you wrote: >Sorry, I don't have those names in my records. I have taken my WOOD >line back to David M.
