Judie, I appreciate your reply to my post. We may have a common ancester back there somewhere. My Winslow J. WOOD was born in N.Y. and his wife Mercy MEAD was also born in N.Y. I do know that there are a lot of Winslow names among the WOOD/WOODS. My mother's father was Wm. Winslow WOOD. His grandfather was Winslow J. WOOD. I have seen a lot of Winslow WOOD names in my research. I wonder if there was a Winslow who was prominent in American History. I don't know history well enough to say. I do know that Winslow J. had a son named DeWitt Clinton WOOD. On my father's side, there were a couple of Andrew Jackson SALISBURYs and a Martin VanBuren SALISBURY. If in fact there was a prominent man in history named Winslow, then the fact that Winslow shows up in several WOOD & WOODS families does not necessarily indicate a common thread of relationship. On the other hand I wonder if there are very many other families of the same time period that had a penchant for naming sons Winslow ? Oh well, it certainly needs more research. Thanks again for the response. If you find a connection, please let me know also.
