Hi, Carol. Don't apologise! The Wood families have been driving me round the bend for years. I viewed your public family tree (on ancestry) & noticed your John Wood's d.o.b as 21/06/1752.The John Wood who appears in the Gamrie OPR's under that date is indeed the son of John Wood & Ann Reid (as you state). I do not think that this John Wood is the same one who married Anne Ingram. John & Anne Wood lived in Protstown. On their headstone it states "John Wood, their only surviving son, farmer in Protstownhill inserted the names of two beloved children of his who died victims to the small pox in the year 1810..Anne aged 22...John aged 11years." This John was married to Isobel Rankin & had children between 1783- 1799.
Your William Wood was born in Minnonie. There was a Wood family there. George Wood & Lilias Forbes.Their headstone was erected by "their surviving children, John, William & Alexander".Have you come across any mention of William's siblings in your research?
Hope this information helps!
