Wilma, I am interested in your book. Could you please tell me how to obtain a copy? I'm researching the "Wood" line from Patrick County, VA. I descend from Richard "Dickey" Wood's son Alexander but am trying to research as many of the lines that I can obtain info on. I recognize several of the surnames below as families that several Wood ancestors married into. Thank you, Missy (Wood) Coyne Baltimore, MD -------------- Original message -------------- > My book is entitled "Early Virginia Settlers, Blackard, DeHart, Hubbard, > Hurst, Lawson, Shelor, Southern, Thompson, Turner."
