One of my co-researchers is liking the Martha Wood and John SMITH marriage for a target but no matter who we look to for a John family no one has any kids that match the lady's name...she must have been using a short name or something....as a kid anyway. She actually lived until about 1870 as she was in Indiana with her next to youngest daughter's family in 1860 and not there in 1870.
