Jan. 4, 1777. They died May 2, 1827, and Sept. 10, 1834, respectively. Mrs. Wood, the widow of our subject, is the only survivor of a family of fifteen children, and is herself the mother of eleven children, viz., Elizabeth, born Sept 8, 1828 (died at the age of 2 years and 7 months); Clara, born Dec. 13. 1830, who became the wife of Samuel Gould, May 21, 1857: James, born April 25, 1833 (died March 6, 1854); William, born April 28, 1835 (died May 22, 1838); Catharine A., born May 2, 1837 (deceased); Nathan, born Feb. 8, 1840, married Mary Cumming, Dec. 2, 1867, by whom he had one child, Bertie (both mother and son deceased). Nathan's second marriage occurred Aug. 26, 1881, when married to Joannah Cody; Mary, born March 16, 1842, and united in marriage with Capt. W. R. Harmon, Aug. 30, 1860; the next child died in infancy; Lucy C, born June 26, 1845, and became the wife of Dr. E. W. Carnahan, died Feb. 22, 1873; Adalaide, born Nov. 16, 1847, and died Oct. 4, 1874, as the wife of H. W. Schenck; Charles E., born June 6, 1851, united in marriage with Ernie I. Cumming, July 17, 1875. By occupation our subject was a manufacturer of woolen goods, which trade he learned before leaving England, his father being engaged in that business. Mr. Wood was for many years a merchant of Lebanon, and, by industry and economy, accumulated quite a competency. He was a member of the M. E. Church, and his second wife of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, with which she united in 1838. The grand-children of this couple number fourteen, and great-grandchildren, seven. Mrs. Wood is a descendant of one of the pioneer families of this section of the country, her father with his family having emigrated from the Redstone country in Pennsylvania to Columbia, six miles above Cincinnati, in October, 1791 or 1792, and, in the spring of 1797, removed into what is now Warren County, settling in Turtle Creek Township, about one and a half miles west of the village of Lebanon. He planted the first apple orchard in this section of the country. |
