There were a number of WOOD families from Clermont Co. OH that moved to IL in the early to mid-1800's. I have a number of them on my web. The only James WOOD I have was born in 1790 and I do not have any other information on him. My WOOD family comes from Clermont Co. and they visited IL on several occasions. In fact, my grandfather was born in Windsor, Shelby Co. IL but his birth was recorded in Clermont Co. You might want to check this connection.
