I believe Joseph WOOD may have been born between 1750 and 1760. At least two of his sons were known to have been born in PA, John born Feb 28, 1780 and David born about 1783. His youngest known son Jeriah was born in TN about 1802 Joseph WOOD my have traveled through Kentucky into Tennessee and later he and some of his children were in Cooper County, Missouri by 1820. His wife died there in Aug 1825. Her name is unknown, but she had a sister named Rachael. John & David Wood lived and died in Cocke Co., Tennessee. Both men are proven sons of Joseph Wood and both were born in Pennsylvania. The children of Joseph Wood are believed to be: John - proven son, stayed in Cocke County, TN David - proven son, stayed in Cocke County, TN Elizabeth - proven daughter, married a Smith, was in Cooper County, Missouri in Aug 1825 Jesse - proven to be a brother to Alexander Andrew - proven to be connected by circumstantial evidence Alexander - proven to be connected by circumstantial evidence Levi - proven son, was in Cooper County, Missouri by Aug 1825 Jeriah - proven son It is believed that Joseph WOOD is recorded with his son Jeriah in the 1830 Cooper County, Missouri census and died before 1840.
