Truman, Any updated info on the visit to Woods Gap, VA and the Wood family cemetery? My uncle Gerald Wood and I are planning to be there on April 29th. My uncle lives in Weston, WV and I live in Albuquerque, NM; we are descendants of Richard "Dickey" Wood. My uncle and I visited Patrick Co., VA in the fall of 2004 but were unable to locate the cemetery at Woods Gap. We did learn a great deal about our family from the helpful ladies at the Genealogy Library in Stuart, VA. I am looking forward to learning more about the family and going to Woods Gap with someone who knows where it is and how to get there. Please let me know if the date is still the same, looking forward to meeting you and other descendants soon. Ray Wood 986 Lynx Loop Ne.

Plans are still on for the pilgrimage. I have gone up there once to do a check out trip, but there was still too much snow on the ground. I will be making a trip up there hopefully this weekend to make sure there are no obsticles to getting there. You all may be able to stay at the Tuggle's Gap Motel where we can meet that morning, there is also the Pine Tavern in Floyd and some other Bed and Breakfasts. There is a motel in Meadows of Dan and one in Stuart (The Virginian). Hope to see you all the 29th.
