I adopted profile Edmund Wood-12860, thinking I would merge him. That was my first mistake, since I see that there is a lot of confusion in these profiles Wood-5596, Wood-4043, Susan Wood-11464, Susan Wood-2488.
These profiles are mixed-up regarding parents, mothers, bros & sis, children, dates, places. ufftah - that is what my Norwegian grandmother would have said, and I concur. :-)
I have source New York Biographical and Genealogical Record (NYBGR) Vol. 20, Number 1, January 1989. (subscription needed)
Check on it, if you have a subscription. p. 4 (bottom), 5, 6. where the author has deciphered the difference between 2 or possibly 3 Edmund Woods that were living at the same time and similar areas in England.
Page 6 is where author gives scant information about the Edmund Wood who was the father of Susan (Wood) Butterfield, Mitchell (my 10th great grandmother.) Since NYBGR a "pay" site, I will give the information here.
(1) b. 1550 and lived in the Shelf-Northowram area
(2) may have married 1572-3 to Alice Edwards or Jenet Hurst. These names don't appear among his descendants
(3) the name Susan is prominent among his descendants.
(4) will of his son-in-law, Thomas Butterfield, dated Sept. 16, 1614 mentions that Edmund Sr. is alive.
(5) 3 children: John, probably bap. Mar 22, 1583/4; Edmund b. c. 1585-90; Susan b. c. 1590.
Who wants to give direction to help clean up this confusion?
Edmund Wood-12860
Edmund Wood-5596
Edmund Wood-4043
Susan Wood-2488
Susan Wood-11464
Thanks for any assistance from someone who has NYGBR subscription. Check out the comment sections of these profiles. Thanks.
