John Wood is sometimes referred to as “the Mariner”, to distinguish him from others of the same name who settled in New England in the early colonial period. He was a ship owner, mate and possibly captain who participated in shipping supplies for the Winthrop Colony from about the 1636-50. He may have first arrived in New England as early as 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet, but he spent subsequent years on various sea voyages and did not settle permanently in the colonies until several years later. He probably brought his family to America in about 1641, and they may have settled in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. The most comprehensively documented treatment of this ancestor that I have found is a book by Bertha W. Clark entitled John Wood of Rhode Island and His Early Descendants on the Mainland (Crete, Illinois: self-published manuscript, 1966).
