Speaking of the Wood Family Reunion Program...... My grandfather, Dewey Wood, who descends from Uncle Dickey's son Alexander (Richard Alexander/ William A./ Jesse Crawford), provided me with the Program. I copied the original that he had from attending the reunion. He was very young at the time and could not recall very many details. Does anyone else know anything about this reunion?? I'm reading through it again and noticed that there were committees and registration cards and that the meeting was put into minute form and mailed out to the registered members. The program lists the Hon. W. L. Joyce as the Program Manager. Any thoughts as to who this might be or what his relationship to the family is, if any? The call for respective family lines and registration was done by W. G. Hylton, again any idea who this is and the relationship to the family? My point for those questions is that maybe someone from those families may have more info. It appears this was the first Reunion, were there others? It says on the back of the program that for the members to go prepared to trace their relationship back through the generations...Someone, somewhere, may still have that info.... Just some thoughts. I haven't been able to do much in the way of genealogy research in the last few months. I do have a lot of info from the W. Virginia parts of the family and have taken numerous photos of tombstones at various marked and unmarked cemetaries. I haven't been able to figure out who some of them are. I'll have to compile them and see if anyone on here knows. I'm in the process of planning a Wood Family Renion at my grandfather's farm in Rock, (Mercer) W. Virginia. He passed away this past August, but the farm remains in the family and they've expressed an interest in a reunion. The plan is to hold the reunion around the first or second weekend in August of this year. I would love to be able to include other branch's of the Wood family. If anyone thinks they may be interested, please let me know. My email address is missy3455@comcast.net. Good Hunting!

We know that Rachel was a Cockram from the will of her father, Edward Cockram, in Franklin County, VA in 1816, plus the testamony that her daughter Anna was married to her first cousin, David Cockram. eorge wood, however, I have never seen any documentation outside of the 1936 Wood General Reunion Program that he even existed.

Yes, Wilma,that is what we have. With the exception of George as a son of Lucy Via and Uncle Dickey. We probably missed him somehow. I have spouses for all the children if anyone needs it. Mr. Harris, I'm still not sure how we know that his first wife was a Cockram...unless it was on the gravestone. I will see if I can get a reply from Gay E.C. as she has the gravestone info. Steve Deal's line is from Dickey and Lucy Via and he has extended info and at least one photo that I know of, with Lucy Via Wood after she remarried with at least one of Uncle Dickey's children in the photo, Frederick "Cricket" Wood. Will send that link when I find it. Thank you Wilma for your additions!

Crystal Wood wrote and Eugene Wood submitted the article in Patrick Co. VA Heritage, Vol 1, that Richard Wood "Father Dickey" married first Rachel Cockram and their children were Henry, Alex, German, Peter, Edward, John Richard, Jeremiah and Anna. His second wife was Frances "Fannie" Brammer and there were no children. His third wife was Elizabeth DeHart and their children were Press, Jack, Dolly and Lucinda. His fourth and last wife was Lucy Via and their children were Fredrick, Byrdine, George, Nancy, Ruth and Matilda. Richard died Jan 12, 1859. Eugene Wood was a great, great, great-grandson of Richard Wood. His father was Solomon Sylvanus Wood. Crystal is descended from Richard's son Edward. Stephen Dehart and Susannah Elgin had a daughter Elizabeth C. DeHart, born about 1845. Elijah Hubbard Dehart and Exonia Leona Nancy Oney Grimmett had a daughter Elizabeth DeHart, born 1832.

I think I have identified the source of my befuddlement regarding the parents of Elizabeth DeHart, third wife of Dickey Wood. The woman age 50-60 in the 1830 census is probably the second wife, Nancy Fannie Brammer rather than Elizabeth. Therefore Elizabeth DeHart could well have been the daughter of James and Catherine Hubbard DeHart. The 1820 census listing for James DeHart includes one female under 10 and two females 16-26. One of the older females would have been Lucinda, who married John Richard Wood, son of Dickey and Rachel Cockram Wood in 1821. The other would have been Mary, born 1800-1804, who married Nicholas Handy in 1822. The 1830 listing has one female 15-20 and one 20-30. The younger of the two was presumably the youngest girl in 1820, born between 1810 and 1815. This could well have been Elizabeth, but I would like to see documentation. Are her parents' names on the marriage record? Charles Leon Harris

My info. may not be accurate but I have on page 50 of my book that James DeHart married Philadelphia Martin, daughter of William Martin and Rachel. Second, he married Catherine Hubbard January 28, 1797 in PCVA, daughter of Benjamin Hubbard. Third, he married Delphia Martin December 3, 1831 in PCVA. Delphia Martin was the widow of Moses Martin. Sur. paid by Stephen Hubbard, Witnesses Elijah H. DeHart, Min. Stephen Hubbard. I only have listed the same five children I wrote for Catherine Hubbard. I have no Elizabeth for James DeHart, but that does not mean there was not one, maybe with the other wives.

I belive that would have been the second wife, Fannie Brammer, in 1830.

Thanks to all with suggestions about the identity of Elizabeth DeHart Wood, Uncle Dickie’s second wife. In the census of 1830, which was after Rachel Cockram’s death and before Dickie’s marriage to his third wife, there is a female aged 50 to 60 who I assume was his wife, Elizabeth. If this is Elizabeth and the age is correct, then she would appear to have been born between 1770 and 1780, not in 1810 as some sources have it. That would seem to rule out James DeHart as her father, since he is also recorded as being 50 to 60 in the 1830 census. In the 1840 census he is recorded as 70 to 80, but that would still be cutting it close, especially since he didn’t marry until 1797. It is, of course, possible that the age for the female in the 1830 census is incorrect. Can anyone tell me the source for information that Elizabeth was the daughter of James and Catherine Hubbard DeHart or that she was born in 1810? Charles Leon Harris

Well, I do remember that Gay Edens Carrigan got her info from the actual tombstones of the wives. As a matter of fact, she mentioned an error on one of the stones, but my memory fails me there. I have the marriage date for James DeHart and Catherine Hubbard as 25 Jan 1797; again I think Gay could shed more light. In case this is helpful, I also have the parents of Ms. Hubbard; Benj. and Hannah Martin Hubbard. Of course, James DeHart's parents are said to be Aaron and Malinda Ellender DENNIS or TENNISON. I'm sure you have much more on these lines as do I, they aren't my direct lines. I can't remember if Gay specifically said that Elizabeth's maiden name appears on the stone..guess you guys will learn when you see them. There does appear to be another connect of James Dehart to WOOD. That is Elizabeth DeHart's sister, Lucinda supposedly married a John Wood. Article below: "James DeHart was Aaron DeHart's Oldest son. I can only estimate his date of birth at between 1760-1770. I figure closer to 1770 because of Aaron's first land purchase being in 1770. In the U.S. Census for Patrick Co., Va. (1820) James DeHart was between 50 and 60 years old. This is how I approximated his birth date. I know very little about James DeHart's early years. Not until he moved to Patrick Co. did I find out any significant information about his life. Tax records provide the only record of his migration from Amherst Co. to Patrick Co. James paid taxes in Amherst Co. through 1797. From 1798 on James was listed as having paid taxes in Patrick Co. James DeHart married Catherine Hubbard in January of 1797 in Patrick Co. Va. This was probably one of the major reasons for settling in Patrick Co. His marriage was witnessed by his brother, Elijah DeHart and his brother-in-law, Thomas Tennison. James had four children that I know of. His oldest child was Lucynda, born in 1797. She married John Wood on 2 Oct. 1821. She died in 1855. Thomas was one of his three sons. All I know about him is that he married Margaret Boyd. James' other two sons were James Wilson DeHart who married Rebecca Martin and the last son, Elijah DeHart."

In anticipation of the pilgrimage to the graves of Uncle Dickie and his wives, I have been pondering some conflicting information. Has anyone figured these out?: 1. According to her tombstone, Rachel Cockram Wood died 13 Dec 1823, but according to the transcription of the marriage record, Uncle Dickie married his second wife, Nancy Fannie Brammer on 8 Sep 1823. 2. Who was his third wife, named Elizabeth DeHart? After finding out that my paternal great grandfather was a DeHart, I collected all the information I could about that family, but I can’t find an Elizabeth DeHart who matches. Not even an Elizabeth who acquired the DeHart name by a previous marriage. Charles Leon Harris

To all of you who were so kind to respond to my query about FTM 2006 last November, I am keeping my promise to let you know what I think about it. I like it, it will do far more than the old version I was using. I still am adapting to its idiosyncrasies, like, they moved the "Index" icon from the far left of the tool bar to the right and I am continually heading off to the old spot expecting to find it there. All-in-all, it was a good move up. Thanks again for your help.

I know what you mean, those RAKESes were all over that area, as were the WOODs. I ask because my mother was born on the second farm away from theres along Shooting Creek, and my mother knew them. Samuel Jackson RAKES, Jr., Company D, 51st Virginia Infantry, CSA, died of smallpox at Emory (Washington CoVA) in April 1864, according to his widow's pension application. Ruth Ann THOMAS m. Samuel, Jr., 18 Dec 1852. I think I am related to Ruth as well as Samuel, and I'm just trying to find out who here parents were and what the names of all their children were. They had at least eight, and I only know of Sarah, whose name I got from a census record. Henry's full name was Henry Bland WOOD, if that helps.
