Richard and William Wood were brothers.
Richard Wood was my Greatgrantfather.
His son also bore the name William as did the father of Richard and William.
William the son of Richard, wrote:
Statements Respecting Dingaan King of the Zulu's,
With some particulars relating to the massacres of Messrs.
Retief and Biggar
Presently, I am searching in Worcester, England as that was where the family
was living before going to South Africa. Should you have any information about
them ... either in South Africa or England, it would be most appreciated.
