This can be very confusing! I am from a Wood family, originally from Nehemiah Wood, Jr. of Gallia county, then my greatgrandparents were in Alexander county and Athens. We have an Elizabeth Wood and a Thomas, but not the same dates.I know that there is a more recent Wood family in Athens that are no relation to me. There is an old Wood family that went from Va. to Marietta in the early 1800s.Try a couple of different census reports and track ages, as that may help to distinquish which family is the right one, as well as who sibs and parents are.
