Melissa, saw your MSG on the Delaware site that you are a descendant of the CT Wood surname. Any chance that your line included a Abigail Wood (1750 - 1798) who wed a John Jacob Signor around 1780. Many people are trying to locate Abigail parent's, and has been the bi-ck-wall of several direct descendants and my own research on this family. Will be out of town, beginning Monday but ill check my mail from where I will b staying. Hope that you family genealogy may the answer to our puzzle. Thank you in advance for checking into your family line on this request and have a Happy Thanksgiving.. Alan
