Joseph Wood - Smash-Merge of THREE? Joseph Woods!

The Joseph Wood who married Ann (actually Jane) Tinker lived in Durham, England, and never set foot in America so far as is known.

It is *very* unclear whether one Joseph Wood (not the Durham, England guy) married both Rachel Lupton and Ann Parkins. It is also unclear whether this Joseph (or one of them) is related to the Anne Arundel Waters family. (*A* Joseph Wood, supposedly of that family, lived and died in Chester County, Pennsylvania. But evidence connecting him with Joseph Wood of Frederick County, Virginia is scanty and circumstantial.)

Got Joseph Wood of Durham separated out and made a start on his proper family tree.

The other (one or two) are much more difficult.

Notes under the one who married Rachel Lupton indicate that he transferred in from Frederick (now Carroll) County, Maryland, not Chester County, Pennsylvania. Rachel, incidentally, was *not* a Quaker - she was from the Presbyterian side of the family. (No wonder Joseph Wood got read out of meeting!)

Here's Joseph of Durham if anyone else wants to take a swing at him: Joseph Wood, of Durham
