Greetings to everyone on the list, I spent a few days last week up in Cherokee County during a break from work doing research on my mother's WOOD family. Specifically, I'm looking for a William Wood, originally of Tennessee, husband of Becky (Rebecca) NIBLET. I had found her earlier in the 1900 census, Cherokee County, village of Tecumseh, precinct #3. She was widowed, living with her mother Sallie and her two children Myrtle and Dennis, so when I arrived in Cherokee County last week, I set immediately to work trying to find other Tennessee Wood families living in Tecumseh who might be siblings or even parents of this Wm. Wood. I found three neighboring Wood families from TN: (1) Egie F. Wood, (age 48, wife Malinda, age 36, no children listed); Liddie Wood (a widow, age 60 with son Lonnie, 18 years old); and John Wood (age 31, wife Susie, age 26, and their three children Fred, Mamey, and Millie P., ages 7, 5, and 5 mos, respectively). There's also a Levi Woods family living there, but their son William ! A. appears to be married to someone other than a Becky, so I have ruled this William out. I also found a William Niblet, very probably father of Becky, in a nearby cemetery. Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? If I can just establish that one or some of them are siblings (Egie or John) or a parent (Liddie, maybe), then I might be able to locate my William Wood and trace him and his family back farther. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Sincerely, --Mark in Mobile [email protected]
