Good to hear from you re: the WOOD Family. Several of us RIDGE cousins have been working on the WOOD and KENDRICK families as well as the FINCHER family. Here is just a 2 generation "teaser" on what we have. Would love to see what you have found also.

I found a file on the supposed parents of William WOOD, JR, in a World Family Tree. Have not been able to check it out for accuracy yet, but it looks sort of promising.

Here is the 2 Gen Outline Descendancy Chart for William WOOD Jr:
