Greetings to everyone on the list, I sent out a few inquiries to list members some weeks back and thank those who responded. I had originally written asking if anyone had information on some Wood families living in the village of Tecumseh, near the Georgia line, in the 1890's. I was trying to identify a William or Willie Wood (my ggrandfather) who also lived in Tecumseh and who was killed in a mining accident in the late 1890's. I've been trying to research these other Woods who, like William, were all from TN and were doing mining work, hoping that they might be related to him. Well, since then, I've traced the whole kit and kaboodle of them back to a single family in Lewis County, TN, the family of a Luther Wood originally from Massachusetts. However, there was one other Wood family with TN origins living there, too, but I hadn't thought to trace them back til now: the family of Levi Wood(s), M.D., who with his wife Mary Ann and at least one son is buried in nearby Salem Baptist Church cemetery. Doe! s anyone have any info on the Levi Wood(s) family? Other members of this family include children William A., Fred, Murry, and perhaps others. If I can establish that this family is also related to the Luther Wood family, I'll be closer than ever to a Grand Unified Theory of the Woods of Tecumseh! Thanks for any info you all might have. --Mark in Mobile [email protected]
