I suspect there's a lot of bad information on Wood-26977 and the Ancestry Tree it came from. Contrary to what the profile shows, there's no Hampshire County in Connecticut, and people of this time period didn't have middle names. I'm changing Middlefield, Hampshire, Connecticut to Middlefield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts.
