DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Wood-37300 and Wood-3559 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent the husband of the same person, Sarah Clemons or Clemonds.

Sarah Thurber is not the wife of this John Wood. She was married to John Wood about 1743. This John had two other wives about the same time and Jonathan Wood is Sarah Thurber's son.

Sarah Thurber will be detached as his wife

AND

This profile will be removed as the father of Jonathan Wood.

Wood-27339 and Wood-3559 appear to represent the same person because: Wood-27339 is really just a place-holder as father of Jonathan - found on both profiles and in process of merge. Thank you for reviewing, Teresa (WikiTree Arborist)

I removed the David Wood as the father of John Wood II because John Wood II father was John Wood Sr. Check Merge proposal below
