Owen Wood

Dean of Armagh from 1588 to 1610. Wikipedia gives his name as Eugene Woods and his tenure as starting in 1590.

From University of Houston:  In 1597 his wife was Joan, widow of John Ballett. Wood's Cathedral was St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh, Church of Ireland. This is not Roman Catholic so his married state is not surprising.
