Hello, List members, If any members on the list are in the Newkirk area and have access to any books on the marriage records of Kay County, I would forever be grateful for a marriage date on any of the children of, Dr. Virgil A. WOOD and wife, Sarah "Sallie" C. WOOD. Other Wood children could have been born in Kay County OK after 1880. Those I have any record of are listed below: Beulah L. Wood was born in Hempstead Co., AR circa 1877. Minnie O. Wood was born in Hempstead Co., AR in January 1880. Edna E. Wood Robert H. Wood Okla Wood, twin to Homa. Homa Wood, twin to Okla. The Wood Family were in the 1880 census of Hempstead County Arkansas. Only Beulah and Minnie were in that census, the others were born afterward and were listed in the Arkansas textbook, "Goodspeed Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Southern Arkansas" . No other records had been found on Dr. WOOD and his family until very recently when I received records of Dr. Virgil A. Wood practicing medicine in 1885, Blackwell, OK. See below: In the listed DEATHS from the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA 84:129, Apr 18, 1925; "Virgil A. Wood, Blackwell, Okla; Kentucky School of Medicine, Lewisville, 1885; member of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, aged 75; died, March 19, of pneumonia." _______ Ms. Judith Need, volunteer for lookups in Kay county Cemetery records, was gracious enough to provide me with the following cemetery record: Buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery at Blackwell, OK Dr. V.A. Wood; August 12, 1849 - March 19, 1925; wife Sarah C.; Mason Sarah C. Wood; November 3, 1855 - September 21, 1932 ______ She was also kind enough to list all other Wood names in all of the Kay County Cemetery records. I will remain forever grateful to her for all of the information she sent me. I am hoping somebody has access to marriage records of Kay County. The two older girls would have been around 20 and 23 years old in 1900 according to their ages at their last birthday in 1880. The other children would have been younger and married after 1900. The BRIDE index in marriage book records should show the girls. I have not been able to find any records of the earliest Kay County census records which would show the names in the Virgil and Sarah "Sallie" Wood household. Several children should be in the household in 1900, 1910, possibly 1920. I have no idea when the first Kay County census was taken. ANY information on ANY of the members of this family would be appreciated very much. I will be glad to reimburse for any expenses incurred. Thanks in advance, Ray Turner, in Hempstead County, Arkansas.
