I would appreciate any information on the following family:

William Wood, born about 1793 in  York County SC.  Married a Mary
Magdalena Ruppe (father supposedly a Martin Roop) born about 1800 in
Surry County NC.  Children (all born in Surry County NC):

1. Thomas Wood, born 1825
2. Henry Wood, born 1827
3. Williamson Wood, born 1829
4. William Wood, born 1831
5. James Wood, born 1837

In 1790, there were three Wood heads of households enumerated in York
County SC Census, all in the Camden District:

John Wood (p 194)
Penuel Wood (p 192)  NOTE: Depending upon the source, he is also known
as Peter
Thomas Wood (p 198)

Between 1800 and 1810, these three seem to float around Western SC
mostly in Spartanburg County.  However by 1820, they appear to have left
SC and show up enumerated in the 1820 Surry County NC Census:

John Wood (p  676)
Peter Wood (p 668)
Thomas Wood (p 736)

What I would like to determine is exactly which of the three (John,
Peter or Penuel, or perhaps Thomas) is the father of the William who
married Mary Magdelena.   Thanks for any help.
