Notes

son of William Wood d. 1706 in Stafford Co. VA. "On November 1, 1771 Dickerson Wood took a standard lease for 100 acres from Lord Fairfax, the Baron of Cameron in Scotland. The lease called for Dickerson Wood to build "or cause to be built a good and sufficient dwelling house" and plant 150 "good apple trees at fifty feet distance in regular order." Dickerson Wood was to pay 20 shillings sterling on Christmas Day of each year. His eldest child, Mary was named as successor to the lease. The leases signed around 1771 appear to be an effort to open that area of Virginia to the yeoman planter and put large proprietary grants to productive use. Dickerson Wood--and many like him--seem to have been drawn to the opportunity. The proximity to the Rappahannock River was of interest because it provided a natural transportation means to Falmouth/Fredericksburg, and the markets they provided, to trade tobacco and other goods. The Northern portion of the Rappahannock River above the fork with the Rapidann River was then called the Hedgeman River, apparently in honor of Peter Hedgeman, a mill operator."

"DICKERSON WOOD's WILL was dated January 23, 1803: (Source: Certified copy from the Circuit Court Clerk, Will Book #, page 441, Fauquier County, VA):
"In the name of God. Amen. I Dickerson Wood of Fauquier County and desires this to be my last will and testament. First. I give and bequeath to Mary, my dearly beloved wife all and everything I possess during her life excepting one Negroe girl by the name of Poll and she to go to my oldest son Dickerson Wood, and he is to pay the annual rent for the lone use of said gairl and allso there is fore negro boys by the name of Jarry, Pomfry, Peter and Jeffery, is to be equally divided with my fore sons Dickerson Wood, William Wood, Elijah Wood, and James Wood as singlar from the rest of my other property and if one or all of these negro boys should die to be made good of my other property and at the death of Mary my wife all my lands movely estate to be equily divided amng all my children both sons and daughters."

Witnes present /s/Dickerson Wood L.S.
Leonard Smoot (ma?head)
Lewis Jones January 23, 1803
Enock T. Smoot"
The will was probated and Dickerson Wood's wife, Mary, was named administratrix of the estate at a court hearing in Fauquier County the 25th day of July 1803.

"This Will was proved by the oaths of Leonard Smoot, Lewis Jones and Enoch Smoot witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded, and on the motion of Mary Wood who made oath and together with William Grimsley, John Edwards and William Wood her securities entered into and acknowledged bond in penalty of five thousand dollars conditioned as the law directs/ Certificate is granted her for obtaining letters of administration with the will annexed."
/s/ (illegible
The estate of Dickerson Wood was appraised by John Gaunt, Francis Payne and William Grimsley. Amt. L649: 19: 0. The appraisal was returned to the court on the 26th of September 1803."

1772 Deed Book 5, page 45, Fauquier County, Virginia also has the following: "...1 Nov. 17__ Btwn Lord Fairfax, one part, and DICKERSON WOOD, County of Fauquier, other part. Land in Fauquier Co. lying in Manor of Leeds...beginning at corner of Smoot's and Hoppins...during natural life of Dickerson Wood, Mary, his wife, and Mary Wood, daughter, and every of them living longest...yearly rent 20 sh: sterling. Wit: John Chilton, John Pepper, Thomas Keith. Recorded: 5th May 1772." (Source: Wood-Woods Exchange, January 1958, Vol. 8.)
The daughters could be Ann, Mary, Elizabeth, and Isabella.

1803 January 23: The Will of Dickerson Wood [1740-1740/1803], was executed (Fauquier County, Virginia Will Book 3, p. 441). It reads:

In the name of God. Amen. I, Dickerson Wood of Fauquier County and desires (sic) this to be my last will and testament.

First. I give and bequeath to Mary, my dearly beloved wife all and everything I possess during her life excepting one Negroe girl by the name of Poll and she to go to my oldest son Dickerson Wood, and he is to pay the annual rent for the lone yuse of said gairl and allso there is fore negro boys by the name of Jarry, Pomfry, Peter and Jeffery, is to be equally divided with my fore sons Dickerson Wood, William Wood, Elijah Wood, and James Wood as singlar from the rest of my other property and if one or all of these negro boys should die to be made good of my other property and at the death of Mary my wife all my lands movely estate to be equily divided amng all my children both sons and daughters. /s/Dickerson Wood L. S.

Witnesses present: Leonard Smoot (ma?head), Lewis Jones, Enoch T. Smoot

Notice that the Will refers to "fore" (four) sons of Dickerson, Sr.. He names them: Dickerson, William, Elijah and James. Note also he wanted his estate equally divided among "all my children both sons and daughters." So, he must have had more than one daughter in addition to the sons, although he does not name the daughters. The daughters could be Ann, Mary, Elizabeth, and Isabella.

1803 July 25: The Fauquier County, Virginia Court admitted the Will of Dickerson Wood I [1740/1747-1803] to probate and granted his widow, Mary Wood, Letters of Administration to administer the Will. ("Wood-Woods Exchange,", a Quarterly Devoted to Southern Wood and Woods Families, Volume Eight, January 1958, Number 1, page 16.)

The Court record reads:

"This Will was proved by the oaths of Leonard Smoot, Lewis Jones and Enoch Smoot witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded, and on the motion of Mary Wood who made oath and together with William Grimsley, John Edwards and William Wood her securities entered into and acknowledged bond in penalty of five thousand dollars conditioned as the law directs. Certificate is granted her for obtaining letters of administration with the will annexed." /s/(illegible)"

Donald A. Clark of Lexington, Kentucky, points out that the probate estate of Dickerson Wood I [1740/1747-1803] was unusual because there was no real estate included. Out of the total estate appraisal over one-half of the value of the estate was in slaves. There was $641 in household goods, etc., while three slaves reported were valued at $750. The slaves were Lizza, Mariah and Jerry. The slave named Poll was originally given to Dickerson Wood [1773-1799/1864] when Dickerson Wood [1740/1747-1803] died.

1803 September 26: The estate of Dickerson Wood was appraised by John Gaunt, Francis Payne and William Grimsley and returned to the court.

1803 October 22: A marriage bond was issued for Elijah Wood's [1776- ], son of Dickerson Wood [1740/1747-1803], marriage to Theodosia "Doshey" Crim (Crimm) [ - ], daughter of Harmon Crim (Crimm) [ - ] and the grand daughter of John Crim (Crimm) [ - ], in Fauquier County, Virginia. ("Wood-Woods Exchange,", a Quarterly Devoted to Southern Wood and Woods Families, Volume Eight, January 1958, Number 1, page 16.)

1816 May 15: William Wood II, and his wife Nancy Corley Wood, joined many others leaving Virginia for Carrollton, Kentucky by flatboat on the Ohio River. Fauquier County Virginia Deed Book 3: pages 41-45).

One of the neighbors of Dickerson Wood was Richard Corley (father of Acquilla Corley) who was drawn to the Manor of Leeds apparently by the same inducement. Corley lived one and one-half miles above Dickerson Wood at the junction of the Hedgeman River and Buck Run Creek." http://members.tripod.com/Jack_Wood/wood_genealogy.htm
1817 May 15: William Wood II [1771/1773-1819], along with his Negro slave, Poll, arrived in Henry County, Kentucky.
1817 June 2: William Wood II [1771/1773-1819] swore to the Justice of Peace that the Negro slave, "Poll," he brought to Henry County Kentucky on May 15, 1816 was strictly for his own use and not for traffic or merchandise. he arrived in Henry County, Kentucky on May 15, 1817 bringing with him a Negro slave named Poll. (Deed Book 6, page 176.)

"1819 September 19: William Wood II [1771/1773-1819] died in Henry County, Kentucky within three years after moving to Henry County, Kentucky. The cause of his death is not known. One theory was that he may have died of the same illness that killed his slaves several years later. They may have been tubercular--a common problem of the time. Malaria was also a problem and the reason many did not settle in the Carrollton area of then Gallatin County, Kentucky.
1819 October 14: The estate of William Wood II [1771/1773-1819] was appraised by Robert Webb, Lawrence Sandford and Daniel Sandford for the probate court of Henry County, Kentucky. The appraisement was filed in the probate court's Will Book 2, at pages 451-452. The estate was unusual in that there was no known real estate. Out of the total appraisement over half of the value was in slaves. There was $641 in household goods, etc., while the three slaves reported were valued at $750. They were Lizza, Mariah, and Jerry. Poll is presumed to be the fourth of four slaves. She was originally given to William's brother, Dickerson, Jr., in 1803 when their father, Dickerson, Sr. died. (Fauquier County, Virginia Will Book 3, p. 441). Poll may have died the same time as William."
