  Sir Andrew Wood
Wood also turned his attention to his own affairs, the chief of which was a quarrel with the good citizens of Aberdeen towards the close of 1488, concerning the forest of Suckett and the castle hill of Aberdeen, which, he alleged, had been granted to him by James III.
In the meantime, Wood, who had got to windward of his adversary, bore down upon him under a full press of sail, closed upon him, threw out his grappling-irons, and even lashed the ships together with strong cables, that all might be settled by a hand-to-hand encounter.
At length, the superior skill of Wood and the practised seamanship of his crews prevailed over equal courage and far superior numbers; the three English vessels were compelled to strike, and were carried into the port of Dundee, while Sir Andrew brought his gallant antagonist to the king as prisoner.

 Sir Andrew Wood   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sir Andrew is best known for a naval action in Largo Bay between two of his ships (the Yellow Caravel and the Flower) and five English vessels, as well as other naval battles between the two nations, which were then both sovereign states.
Of Sir Andrew, it may be said that his career spurred the English into the construction of large sailing vessels mounting numerous guns firing heavy shot, instead of relying upon warships little better than oared galleys.
Be that as it may, however, over a half-century ago Elizabeth Grace Wood from Dawn Township traveled to Scotland and there obtained from John Wood IV (her second cousin and a senior civil servant) a lineage linking them back to John Wood of County Fife, purportedly the second son of Sir Andrew.
