Robert John Wood was my great-great grandfather, which makes us fourth cousins.

That's very cool that you followed Joseph Warren Wood's journey. Do you have a copy of his diaries? I have a copy of half of them, with the bottom of each page cut off. Not very good for documentation purposes, but enough to give the flavor of his adventures.

If you do make it back to this site, you might enjoy this post: The Problem of David Wood, Revisited. Also The Problem of Jonathan and Elnathan Davis.

Thanks for writing!

I have a little info on Mercia Davis family. My father wrote it up by hand. I think it comes from a book called Geneology of the Sharpless Family 1682-1882. I have a photo of Naomi D Wood and A few others. I think Alvinus B Wood might be found on Wikipedia.

If you are interested in any info please email me at [redacted].

I don’t know if i’ll Ever find this page again. I am not computer savvy. DWP

We must be related. My great great grandfather was Joseph Warren Wood(JWW). His brother.s name was Robert John Wood. Recently I went on a road trip and followed JWW diaries. He traveled the Oregon Trail during the Gold Rush. I found his initials on Independence Rock, Wyoming.. We.spent some time in a Gen. library. I only had info of the NJ Wood’s. But found info that shows the family in RI. Cannot wait to go thru all the info we got. My records indicate David Wood’s parents were David Wood and Prudence Bowen(Roberts).
