Gladys Esther BACON May 4, 1933 La Grande, OR 4th Generation: Frank WOOD and Alice DANLY Children: Harry Edward Melvin Arthur Frank Eugene 5th Generation: Harry Wood and Vona CZAPANSKY children: Lois Darrel I have proven that Henry Washington WOOD is the son of William and Synthia Ann (McCART) WOOD . However, I have not proved that John L WOOD is their son, though I strongly suspect it. I need proof! Unfortunately, William WOOD disappeared (most likely died) in the 1840's. So, he missed the 1850 census. And I know almost nothing about him. His wife (now married again) and family are with Ambrose BLAKE in 1850 in Martin co, IN. >From land records, Synthia Ann BLAKE and Ambrose BLAKE sold property in the area in the 1850's. I have found nothing more on Synthia Ann. Ambrose BLAKE seems to reappear in Knox and Henry counties, IL later. He lives near the MAUCK family here and marries Lucinda MILLER in the late 1850's. William and Synthia's children appear in 1860 to be living with their uncle, Henry McCART and wife, Harriet, in Martin co, IN. Do any of you connect to this family? I am interested in all WOOD(S) families in Orange, Martin, Crawford and Lawrence counties, IN, from 1810's thru 1880's. Darrel
