    1. [NYMADISO] WOOD Family photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Julia WOOD which was taken at the G. H. DeWitt Studio in Madison, New York. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Julia likely in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Julia and her family as follows: Julia G. WOOD was born Dec 1853 to parents Ira WOOD (b. about 1809 in Syracuse, NY) and Mary LEACH (b. 16 May 1813 in New Milford, PA). Census records provide the following: 1860 census of De Ruyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 53, a Farmer, born NY Mary WOOD, age 48, born NY Martha WOOD, age 17, born NY Emma WOOD, age 16, born NY Eugene WOOD, age 15, born NY Charles WOOD, age 12, born NY Lavatha WOOD, age 10, born NY Julia WOOD, age 8, born NY Periuenas WOOD, age 5, born NY 1870 census of DeRuyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 60, a Farmer, born PA Mary WOOD, age 57, Keeps House, born NY Martha WOOD, age 27, at Home, born NY Eugene WOOD, age 25, Works on Farm, born NY Emogene WOOD, age 23, at Home, born NY Chas WOOD, age 21, Works on Farm, born NY Lorena WOOD, age 18, born NY Julia WOOD, age 16, born NY Alva WOOD, age 14, born NY 1880 census of DeRuyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 73, born NY, parents born PA/NY Mary WOOD, wife, age 67, born NY, parents born CT/MA Sarah F.
