AR Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TgB.2ACE/2285 Message Board Post: Looking for descendents of Wood families from Giles Co., TN. My GGGGreat Grandfather, John Wood married Tennessee Richey around 1829, both died within 3 years of each other in Obion Co. by 1853. Had at least 8 children before relocating to Obion Co. TN. 12 children total. Many descendents share distinct Wood physical traits like Gap in front teeth, left-handed and rare "A" blood types as well as some reports of red birthmarks on the back of the neck. I am searching for the parents of John Wood or any siblings of John. May have a VA connection. Any help is appreciated. ~Dot Wood-OKC, OK, depriv8@yahoo.com
