Sorry, it has taken me so long to answer but we took a short vacation and have just returned. I haven't worked very hard on my Wood line. My Great-Grandmother was a WOOD. Her name was: Corilla Anna WOOD b. 2 July 1858 d. 8 August 1832 at Franklin Station, Jasper CO., IA. (Franklin Station is no more and is now part of Rural Monroe, IA. m. 17 April 1875 in Warren CO., IA to Charles William Gilkey TOOL b. 7 Sept. 1848 Monroe, Jasper CO., IA d. 20 Aug. 1917 Bondurant, Polk CO., IA. both are buried in Silent City Cem. Monroe, IA. Corilla's parents were: Wesley WOOD b.7 Oct. 1829 Ohio moved w/parents to IN.1837 d.5 June 1915 Monroe, Jasper CO., IA m. 9 Nov 1853 Monoquet?, Kosciusko CO, IN. by James Martin (Baptist Minister) Nancy Ann GANT b. 15 Oct. 1836 Ohio d. 25 April 1922 Monroe, Jasper CO., IA. Daughter of John and Rebecca YOUNG GANT Wesley and Nancy had 11 children. I have their births,marriages, spouse's and most of the death dates. Wesley's parents were: Eli WOOD b. 14 March 1803 VA. d. 26 Nov 1891 Monroe, Jasper CO., IA. m. 11 July 1824 Ohio by Squire Samuel Rollins Elizabeth CARR b. 25 Aug. 1804 VA. d. 24 Aug. 1881 Eli and Elizabeth had 11 children.

Elizabeth Fudge, Elizabeth Ann m. John McGuire, Mary Alleria m. Romans Ashbury, Clarissa E.m. Harrison Lackey (I don't have the last child's name in front of me but I will send it. I have their births, marriages, spouse's names and most of the death dates. Eli WOOD's parents were: Joel WOOD I and ? DAVIS. Resided on the South Branch of the Potomac River from about 1770 to about 1810. They had seven children. Joel Jr., Amos, Phoebe, Rachel,Anna, Rhoda and Eli. The family moved from Virginia to Ohio in about 1810, about 7 years after Ohio became a state. Joel's wife died shortly after reaching Ohio. He married again, this time to a widow who also had 7 children. Little information is known about any of Joel's children except Eli. I have a written family history researched by Loyd E. Wood who was a son of John Wesley WOOD one of Wesley WOOD's sons. Loyd remembered his grandfather told him that the Wood family came from England in the early Colonial days. One time when Loyd was at his grandfather's home he remember a discussion that a firm of attorney's in London had contacted his grandfather about a possible inheritance from large estate in England but he never heard any further discussion on the matter. He believed that Abraham WOOD was the great-great-grandfather of Joel WOOD. Abraham WOOD was a indentured servant who is believed to have been one of those who landed at Jamestown. He became a landowner in VA. and in 1646 was commissioned to construct Fort Henry. >From 1650 to 1673 he was a explorer who took parties some 1500 miles westward into territory now parts of W.VA., Kentucky and Tennessee. That is about all I have on the WOOD line. Do any of these names fit? -----Original Message----- From: PMcfar4665@aol.com <PMcfar4665@aol.com> To: tmhfbred@netins.net <tmhfbred@netins.net> Date: Friday, July 02, 1999 6:51 PM Subject: Re: [VAAUGUST-L] Re: Augusta County Baptisms >Mickey > >You answered my request on Young, Crawfords, etc and Thank You again.
