Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 5th ed., 1887, Woodford Co. THOMAS C. WOOD was born near Carlisle, Nicholas Co., Ky., April 12, 1821, and is a son of Nimrod and Dryden (Marsh) Wood. His paternal grandfather was John Wood, and his maternal grandfather Beal Marsh, from near Baltimore, Md. He is of Scotch-English extraction. At the age of ten he went to Paris, Ky., where he was apprenticed to a silversmith and served his time. He then embarked in business for himself at Winchester, Ky., after several years spent as a journeyman at his trade. After two years he abandoned the silversmith's trade and engaged in general merchandising at Mooreland, where he remained for about seventeen years. After giving up this business he resided on a farm in Fayette County for a short time. About 1859 he removed to a farm near Midway, which he purchased, and which contains 175 acres. He also owns a farm in Fayette County of 550 acres, also one of 424 acres in Bourbon County, besides about 530 acres in Scott County, near Midway, in all about 1,600 acres. At the decease of William A. Moore, Esq., in 1885, Mr. Wood was elected president of the Deposit Bank, of Midway, which office he still holds. This bank has a capital stock of $75,000, with William M. Shipp as cashier, and has always done a paying business. Mr. Wood was married February 10, 1858, to Miss Ann E. Clark, of Fayette County, and they have had three children: Nannie C., Bettie Lee and William Clark.
