Hmmm… Is she the daughter of Daniel Wood of Venice, Cayuga, NY? According to his will of 13 June 1823, he had a daughter Lois Maria, a brother David, a son Edward. His wife had passed away before him. No name given.

Also, the will of Jonas Wood, Venice, Cayuga, NY dated 10 Feb 1829 states that Jonas has a grandson, Charles Wood and granddaughter, Mary Jane Wood (son and daughter of Daniel Wood, dec'd). Jonas also mentions daughters Eunice and Lois.

This is a long shot. NOTE: Could this Daniel Wood be the Wood who married Mary Salisbury, daughter of Thomas Salisbury and Rebecca Bushee.
NOTE: Lois Wood is mentioned as 17 years old in 1824. She petitions Joseph Pancost to be her guardian.
1824 Wood Daniel Cayuga P. 901
Edward Wood is also mentioned in 1824 at age 13. He petitions that his uncle, David Wood, be his guardian.

Another long shot: 1801 WOOD Mary, d. of Jabez and Nabby, b. June 10, 1801, Harvard, MA. Source: Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850. According to Ancestry World Tree, Jabez Wood married Nabby Moor (possible alias Abigail Stone). They had a daughter Abigail Wood b: 23 SEP 1810 in Harvard, Mass. Jabez appears to have died in Harvard in 1850. He is in Harvard in 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840 according to the US Census.

Other Wood children all born in Harvard to this couple: 1805 WOOD Lucy, d. of Jabez and Nabby, July 27, 1805 (July 29, 1805 dup.)

1807 WOOD Flavel, s. of Jabez and Nabby, Dec. 28, 1807.

1810 WOOD Nabby, d. of Jabez and Nabby, Aug. 23, 1810.

1812 WOOD Lydia, d. of Jabez and Nabby, Nov. 12, 1812.
1799 WOOD Benjamin, s. of Jabez and Nabby, Aug. 22, 1799.
1803 WOOD Emery, s. of Jabez and Nabby, June 28, 1803.
1815 WOOD Jonathan, s. of Jabez and Nabby, Oct. 2, 1815.
1818 WOOD Jabez, s. of Jabez and Nancy (Nabby dup.), June 10, 1818.
Possible marriage in Harvard 1799 STONE Abigail and Jabez Wood, Mar. 14, 1799.
NOTE: This probably not a match because the family never moves to NY. The family above is a more likely match.

Ancestor's Life Events



 1812 Clue?  
What are the odds that this might be a clue?

Dated 1812
County of Record Saratoga

NOTES:

It looks like Elisha Thompson was b. 25 Jun 1745 and died 16 Oct 1812 in Stillwater, Saratoga, NY. He married Lydia Salisbury, b. 1756, m. 14 Mar 1780. She died 1 Apr 1846.

For more info on this family see http:/www.greenerpasture.com/Ancestors/Details/277/11017

All of the people mentioned in the will are brothers and sisters of Elisha. And then there is Maria Wood... Is she the daughter of Lydia's sister Mary who married a Wood?

The executors of the will -- Hial Morris and Richard Denton (Hial is the husband of Elisha's oldest sister). Richard Denton???

The witnesses -- Roswell Day (related to Jared???), Oliver Salisbury, William Ostrander (husband of Elisha's sister, Polly)

I found a David Wood age 52 in 1850 Westfield, Chatauguay Co. New York. He was married to Diadana (spelling) age 50 living with them wre Hanna 15, Marsha Sue 13, (John Gibson age 11) Love D age 9 and William age 6.

Now my question is (if you know anything about this family) is : Could the John Gibson there be my husband's grandfather who was the son of John and Sophia Jacques/Jock/Jack. His father John passed away when he was ten and he was said to have left home to make a living for himself. He was born in Franklin Co NY according to his death certificate. Although the earlier census says Canada. When they came to Michigan just before 1870 they did not speek English. Only French.
