I rec'd the following in response to a query to Sullivan county Indiana. This is the family of Henry Wood (son of Richard & Rachel Cockram) married Nancy Bryant.

Supposedly a Henry Wood went west late 1700's to early 1800's and his nephew Henry Wood to Sullivan County Indiania. I wonder if you have info on a Henry Wood family? > visit my Raleigh County, WV homepage > http://spitfire.cwv.net/~jprince/ > Hi Judy, Yes, there is a bio on Henry WOOD in the 1884 book, page 785. The following is typed exactly as written. "HENRY WOOD is a native of Virginia, born January 3, 1824, being the second of seven children born to Henry and Nancy (Bryant) Wood, who emigrated to Clay County, Ind., in 1836, they removing two years later to Sullivan County. July 13, 1848, our subject married Almarena Rundle, daughter of Jared and Martia (Clark) Rundle, who were natives of the State of New York, who came to Indiana in 1818. He was an early teacher, and died in 1833. By this union, Mr. Wood has had seven children born to him, six of whom are living -- Elvira, wife o George R. Tilford, of Kansas; Maria, wife of William D. Tilford; John, a teacher; Nannie B., Carrie and Ed H. Mr. Wood's two daughters, Nannie and Carrie, are engaged in teaching in Merom. Mr. Wood served for a period of seven months as a member of Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, being Sergeant. He and wife are members of the Universalist Church; is a Republican, and has been Justice of the Peace for seven years. He is now operating a cooper shop in Merom." There is another bio in the 1909 book on Walter F. WOOD, but there is no mention of a Henry. Walter's parents were Jesse A & Elizabeth (Jones) Wood. His grandfather was Lacy Wood. I will check some of the other books that I have and if I find any more on any Henry's I will let you know. And if you have any other questions, also let me know Judi ****************************************************** Hi Judy, I found some cemetery info in a cemetery book I have.
