Norwoods from England
Norwoods from England
WARNING:  For research purposes only!!  I have reason to believe that there may be errors in this report.  Possibly including some major ones involving lineage.
After researching generations two, three, four and five, I list here the lineage info for generation one that I found in one of the county history books in New Jersey.  Let me say that I currently believe it to be WRONG.  I suspect that we will find that if this Benjamin's father's name was indeed Andrew (and I'm not sure that it was), that he did not come from England but was instead one of the Andrew's that we already know about born in NJ or NY.
