WOOD, DAVID, from Plymouth, Mass., 1792, settled on the late homestead
of his son, Luther B. Wood. He had several children of whom we knew:
Timothy, Luther B. and Calvin, who died in 1867. Timothy raised a large family,
and died some years since. Mr. Wood died in 1836, aged 87. His wife in
1825, aged 77.
WOOD, LUTHER B., succeeded to the mountain home of his father.
He was m. four times, and raised a very numerous family. His two last wives were
daughters of William Stoddard. His son Martin P. killed at Spottsylvania, Va.,
May 12, 1864. Another son, Henry C. was among the first to enter the
service for three years. Mr. Wood died in 1865, aged 80.
WOOD, Rev. SAMUEL, M. succeeded Rev. Mr. Bonney in the pastorate of
the Congregational church in 1854, and continued until 1859, when he removed to
Brunswick, N.Y. The church is represented as having been at a low ebb at
the time he assumed the pastorate. Diffident and unassuming in his
deportment, he was faithful and diligent in the discharge of his ministerial
duties.
