Willam Wood

Notes:

A family tree at Rootsweb has this William as William III, s/o William WOOD b 5 May 1717 Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, and Patience WEAVER b 4 Aug 1716, who were married 12 July 1738 in East Greenwich, Kent, R.I. (This needs more research.)

The marriage record at Warwick (Arnold's published records) identifies him as son of William. However, Elder Gorton's notes identify him as "son of Mr Samuel." See "Elder John Gorton and the Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI" edited by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, pub by RI Genealogical Society, 2001, p 233).

Willam married Ruth Gorton 5 Jul 1769, Warwick, RI. Ruth (daughter of Samuel Gorton, IV and Ruth Slade) was born 15 Dec 1744, Swansea, MA; died 1793. [Group Sheet]
