He was born in England February 10, 1816, and came to this country when he was 27 years old and has lived on the farm where his death occurred ever since. He was married two years after his arrival in Macomb county, and is survived by his wife and eight children. The children are Mrs. Elizabeth Wolvin, of Davis; Mrs. Mary Warren, Davison; Mrs. S. Cashner, Spearfish, Dak.; Mrs. Fanny Kohler, Lapeer; Mrs. James G. Tucker, Mt. Clemens; Mrs. Jennie Foote, Harbor Springs; Mrs. Martha Ineson, Dallas Center, Iowa, and James Wood, who lived on the home farm and tenderly cared for his father in his declining years. For over a half century Deacon Wood was identified with the Baptist church of this city. He was a man with fine natural ability, besides being unusually well red, and he represented a type which is fast disappearing in this country. Cannon, George H. "Memorial Report - Macomb County," in Michigan Historical Collections, v.34 (1904), p.771.
