Judith & All, I do have a note on the early Wood anc. Stephen & Ann, which says basically what Judith has stated...that there is a lot of confusion on Stephen & Ann & their John & John the father of our Dickey. Sorry to say, I didn't document my source. But Judith, if you could share your proof with us, I for one would be in your debt. This has driven me nuts for years & I would love to clear this up once & for all. Thanks.
