Thankyou. I can give you a little information on Elizabeth Wood and David Scott. Both were born in Scotland. Elizabeth was my husbands g. grandmother and my mother-in-law believed David was her g.grandfather. I learned after Mom's passing that David was a second husband. Her first was John Wilson born in Sweden. Those two are very elusive. I did find all of them in the 1880 US census in Dutch Flat, Placer County, CA. Etta and Nellie were the daughters of this John Wilson. Nellie married Eli McDowell but died without any children. Etta married Carl Peterson who was born in Denmark.Etta died of tuberculosis when my mother-in-law was very young, so mom had very little information about her parents and grandparents. I have Davids BLM homestead records and there is no mention of any relations. It would be nice to find some. I don't know who Ruth DeChand was, but I know I have heard her name, so I bet she was related. Etta, also, was married before Carl and had a daughter who died before I met her. I have no information about the McCrea family. Let me know if this ws any help or if you find out anything else about the Wood/ Scotts.
