Devon / WOOD family of DEVON, pre-1640
« on: Monday 29 January 24 22:32 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in finding descendants of the WOOD family of Devon (poss. Withycombe Raleigh and nearby).
I have a working theory that John Wood of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, who was recorded in Newport in 1643, came from Devon.
Ideally, I would like to find direct male descendants who have done Y-DNA testing and compare test results!
Thanks,
Mike Wood

Hello, I am new to this group!
Today I am trying to use local Godalming records to prove or disprove my hypothesis that "John Wood of Portsmouth", who emigrated to the American Colonies before 1643 and died in Rhode Island in 1655, was originally of Godalming.
When John Wood died in 1655 his children were named in court records. We know his children included
"oldest son" George (b. bef. 1620),
a son "John" (b. abt 1620) died in 1704 "aged 84".
A third son "William" and
a forth son "Thomas" were also named, but little is known of them.
Several daughters were named, however these may have been born in the colonies.
I understand that the ‘Percy Woods index’ can be searched only through the Museum local studies library - but the library is closed at this time due to the pandemic.
Is there any online source for accessing the ‘Percy Woods index’?
Alternatively, is there anyone whose family tree includes a "John Wood" born abt 1620 to father John Wood"? Name variations of course possible :-)
Thanks!
