This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wood; Reierson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XiB.2ACI/622.625 Message Board Post: I have a Major Joseph Jones Pinson (Thomas' father?) married in 1827 & died approx. 1861 -- he married Elizabeth Johnson (who was born 1809 in Georgia). Their daughter was Susan Amanda Pinson, born 18 June 1833, died 8 Nov 1873. Susan Amanda Pinson married Thomas B. Wood (born 20 May 1820) on 25 July 1850 in Anderson County, TX. (Thomas died 14 Feb 1879). Thomas & Susan's daughter, (Amanda) Lena Wood is my great grandmother. Amanda Lena Wood's husband was John Reinhart Reierson, Sr. -- nephew of the Norwegian/Texan pioneer Johan Reinert Reierson. I'm trying to get together my documentation on either the Wood or Reierson lines for application for membership to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. I hope this helps a little? Anything you can pass along to me on the Wood line would be greatly appreciated! (I'm new to this -- pardon me if I don't know the proper lingo, etc.) Thanks!
