Greetings: The manuscript in the previous post contains a four page, narrative addendum, with the following note at the beginning; "Wood data. The following is taken from records of my father John F. Lafferty (b. 1828 d. 1920) and his Uncle Rev. Aaron Wood (b. 1902 d. 1887) and his father's mother Lydia Wood Lafferty (b. 1810 d. 1903)" I'll do my best to convey this as clearly as possible, because it's from a blurry copy, and wasn't typed very neatly (my apologies to the typist). Hopefully, this will help a researcher with early roots in the American mid-Atlantic and midwestern states. This particular branch of the family did an excellent job of dispersing itself! (beginning) Three brothers came from England and one of them or his descendant settled in Virginia. Our ancestor Isaac Wood, lived in Pendleton County, Virginia. His wife was Rachel Ramey who descended from French Huguenot who also settled in Virginia. They had ten children. They were: 1: James Wood m. Elizabeth Gillespie 2: Elizabeth Wood m. Thomas Gillespie 3: Susan Wood m. 1st Leonard Miller 2nd John Strode or Stroud. 4th or 5th: Daniel Wood m. 1st Widow Carr 2nd Sarah Ramey 4th or 5th: John Wood m. 1st Elizabeth Harper 2nd Mary Hornbeck 6. Joel Wood m. 1797 1st Ann Miller 2nd Widow Lilley 7. William Wood b. 1781 m. in Virginia by Rev. Moses Hinkle Dec. 31, 1801 Mary Kahn, who was b. 1778 York, Pennsylvania. 8. Ann Wood m. 1797 Michael Miller 9. Isaac Wood m. Ellen ---------- 10. Jacob Wood m. Rachel Ramey * The Millers were brothers and sister. * Daniel and Jacob Wood both married their cousins, Sarah and Rachel Ramey. James and Elizabeth were Presbyterians; moved to Tennessee. Susan and her husband were Baptist; moved to Kentucky. John was Methodist. Daniel was a Baptist-- married his cousin and moved to Indiana. Isaac Wood married and moved to Indiana. Jacob Wood married his cousin and moved to Washington Co., Indiana. William Wood married Mary Kahn in Virginia Dec. 31, 1801. William Wood was b. June 1, 1781 in Pendleton Co., Virginia (now West Virginia) They and Michael Kahn and his wife Mary Schenck Kahn were first in Ross Co., Ohio then in Champaign Co. Michael Kahn, his wife and son Henry, William Wood and son Wesley Wood were all buried on their farm which i believe is part of a cemetery now. Two of William Woods' children, Aaron, b. 1802 and Jesse, b. 1804, were born in Virginia. Enoch b. 1805 in Ohio. A marker was placed at their graves in 1881 by Aaron Wood, son of William Wood. William Wood died Nov. 23, 1834 in Ohio. Mary Kahn Wood died Sept. 18, 1854 and is buried here at Martinsville, Illinois. They went to Ohio about 1805. They (William Wood and Mary Kahn) were married by the Rev. Moses Hinkle in Virginia). My great-grandfather William Wood preached my great-grandfather John Lafferty's funeral in 1822. William Wood and Mary Kahn Wood had the following children: Aaron Wood was born in Virginia March 24, 180(?) Jesse Wood was born in Virginia 1804. (Father's records has Pendleton Co., Va., but records his cousin sent me just has Virginia. I think Pendleton is right). Enoch G. Wood born in (illegible) Jan. 6, 1806. Wesley b. in 1807 Lydia Wood b. July 15, 1810 died in Martinsville, Ill July 1902 (this was my grandmother Lafferty) Mary Ann Wood b. in (illegible) July 12, 1810 m. Hezekiah (???) Henderson. He was her second husband. Moses Wood b. in (??) August 23, 1814 Rachel Wood b. Nov. 17, 1817 in Champaign Co., Ohio m. George M. Bennett in Mt. Carnell, Illinois All of these son were ministers. Wesley died in Ohio. Aaron and Enoch and Moses in Illinois and Indiana. Jesse went to Minnesota, the Bennetts to Corvalis, Oregon. I have their records down three and four generations. Aaron Wood had two sons who were missionaries. Thomas B. Wood was head of a Methodist school in Lima, Peru. All of them were of some note. (end of pages 1 and 2 of narrative manuscript addendum to The Name And Family of Wood or Woods) There are three more pages of this to transcribe, and I will try to get them posted shortly.
