Gord,
For me it is never too late to learn as I am no expert on the Mills clan and definitely know nothing about the Wood line.
Adding here what I have for Amos Wood first two generations; my remaining families with this line are Cannings and to me Eric Keys is the man when it comes to the Canning facts.
My Daniel Mills file is too large for this site so I am forwarding directly to you. I welcome all corrections and your insights.
Thank you for responding to the topic .....bliss
