According to my records Robert John and Joseph Warren Wood were the only members of the Lewis Newton Wood family to move to Sumner Washington. My father and 3 of his sisters were born there.

Hi, Dorothy. We are definitely cousins; my great-great grandfather, Robert John Wood, was the eldest brother of Joseph Warren Wood and Alvinus Brown Wood (among others). I have a partial copy of JW Wood's diary; alas, the bottom parts of all the pages were cut off when the copy was made, and the pages are very much faded. So I'm very much hoping someone will get around to digitizing the original at some point.

This link should show you an e-mail address in image form that should reach me. I look forward to communicating further!

Is it possible to contact you? Email? US postal Service? I would like to send you some (hard to read) papers. From what I can gather it says Lucy Lennox had 4 children. But I can’t figure out where this info came from or who wrote the papers.

I don’t know exactly where your line goes in the Wood family after David Wood 1721-1798..you might be interested a descents of his named Joseph Warren Wood 1826-1914. Was a “49er” from the gold rush days. He wrote a diary during most of his trip. The original is in the Huntington Library in San Marino,CA. Also a relative AB Wood was a gold miner in Leadville, CO. Since this might not be your line I won’t elaborate any further.

My version of the wood tree: Lucy Lennox had 4 children. Elizabeth Russell had 3 and Prudence Bowen had 4. Prudence son David is my direct descendant . He married Mercia Davis.

My father did this tree and I am in the process of going thru all his paper work.

Good idea going to the chirch

I know what you mean, Sallyann. I wish I had been at this for 50 years, because then I would have been able to ask questions of my parents and grandparents. On the other hand, data has been so much easier to obtain in recent years that I wonder if I could have saved a lot of trouble by starting even later than I did. But in any case, I think no genealogist looks at the future and thinks, "I have enough time to get this done."

Think I am ready to scrap my ideas on this Wood family. It looked so good, until I read all your stuff which only raised more questions on dates. More time to ponder, even if I have been at this for 50 years and wonder how much more time I have left to ponder. :-)
