William Ellingwood is my first cousin, 8 generations removed.  We are both descended from his grandparents (and my 8th grandparents) Benjamin Ellenwood and his wife Mary.  Elizabeth Woodbury is also my first cousin, 8 generations removed, since we are both descended of Benjamin Ellenwood, too, as well as our common WOODBURY and DODGE ancestors.
