Did Anderson include an entry (or entries) for William Wood in the Directory?

Question

Did Robert Charles Anderson include one or more entries for men, William Wood, in the Directory?

Reference--Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Directory: Immigrants to New England, 1620–1640: A Concise Compendium (Boston, Massachusetts : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2015). 

Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.--Gene

Yes, there are 4: 

• Wood, William: Unknown;1629; Lynn, Samdwich [GMB 2052-54].
• Wood, William: Unknown; 1635 on Hopewell;passenger list only (with caveat) [GM 2:7:499-500].
• Wood, William: Unknown; 1638; Salem (land grant only) [STR 1:70]
• Wood William: Unknown; 1639; Concord [MBCR 1:295, 377; CoVR 3; Rodgers 3:30-31; TAG 21:123-24; Clay W. Holmes, A Genealogy of the Lineal Descendants of William Wood (Elmira, NY, 1901)].

Wow. I did not expect four.

Common name!

Hi Bobbie, just got home and checked my directory by Anderson and would have put the same information that you have! So Gean JX now has four choices to select from!Well done, you!

The first entry, "Wood, William: Unknown;1629; Lynn, Samdwich [GMB 2052-54]" was one of the "tenn men of Saugust," ala, the founders of Sandwich.  

I did not find a profile for him on WikiTree. --Gene

And you'd think by now I could spell *Samdwich!* LOL! Yes, he is one of the early Sandwich settlers. But having no (apparent) descendants, there's little interest in him. I'd like to know where he went if he removed from Sandwich. The GMB profile is very interesting!

Our Sandwich fellow apparently wrote what Anderson described as "the best of the early New England travelogues, New England's Prospect (London, 1634). There are no records about him at New England after 1650. He "may have returned to England or moved on to another colony."

Exactly, and with a name as common as that, he'll be very difficult to find elsewhere.

there is a thought that william the author could be a father to henry wood. 

he returned to England in 1635 with his brother John in the ship Hopewell, from which Henry named his homestead property.'
