Andrew was born in North Carolina in 1813, probably in Surry County. He was likely the son of Thomas Wood and Elizabeth Butcher, but this hasn't been proven.
A bond was recorded for the marriage of Andrew Wood and Lucinda Holderfield (also Holyfield/Holifield) on 4 November 1839 at Surry County, North Carolina. The bondsman was Jesse Coe. (Jesse Coe married Sarah Wood, who was likely the sister of Andrew Wood.)[1]
In 1840 Andrew Wood was living at Surry County. Thomas Wood (Jr), Thomas Wood (Sr) and Burgess Wood were living nearby and were likely his brothers and father.[2] Burgess Wood married Cary Holyfield (possibly the sister of Lucinda) in 1825 and Thomas Wood was the bondsman.
