  • Notes 
    • THOMAS WOOD of Rowley, Mass., is supposed to be the first of his line in this country. His ancestors have not been discovered. There is some reason to believe he belonged to the Wood family of Norwich, Norfolk County, Eng. (see Appendix H.) The first known of him is his marriage, recorded in Rowley:—Thomas and Ann Wood were married 4mo 7d- 1654. His wife is thought to have been Ann Hunt. Rowley records show that he was a man of excellent Christian character and of high standing among his fellow citizens. All that is known of him is published in Essex Co. (Mass.) Institute Collections ; therefore only the essential facts are here given. He was buried 12th September, 1687. His descendants are many and widely scattered.

      Children Recorded in Rowley, Massachusetts:

      1. Mary, b. I5th March, 1655; probably the Mary Wood who married Edward Ordway, I2th December, 1678. (Newbury, Mass., Records.)
      2. John, b. 2nd November, 1656. Family II.
      3. Thomas, b. 10th August, 1658; m. Mary Hunt, 26th June, 1683; had 9 children; was buried 1st December, 1702. His widow married a Davis and removed to Mansfield, Conn.
      4. Ann, b. 8th August, 1660; m. Benjamin Plummer, 15th January, 1678-9; resided in Rowely.
      5. Ruth, b. 21st July, 1662; m. Capt. Joseph Jewett 16th Jan., 1680-1; resided in Rowley. She married (2) John Lunt or Hunt 26th October, 1696, and died 29th October, 1734. The Jewett family of Norwich, Conn., from whom Jewett City received its name, is of this line.
      6. Josiah, b. 5th September, 1664; m. Mary Felt I7th October, 1689; resided in Rowley, then in Concord, then in Enfield (now Somers, Conn.), where he died 1oth December, 1728. His descendants still reside in Somers. He is said to have married (I) Sarah Elthorpe, and by her had one child, Joseph, but this seems doubtful.
      7. Elizabeth, b. 5th September, 1664; perhaps m. Captain Joseph Boynton.
      8. Samuel, b. 26th December, 1666; m. 21st January, 1689, Margaret Elthorpe; resided in Rowley; d. 25th November, 1690 — "coming from Canada" ; had one child, Thomas.
      9. Solomon, b. I7th May, 1669; m. I5th October, 1690, Mary Hazeltine; resided in Bradford, Mass.; had children.
      10. Ebenezer, b. 29th December, 1671; m. 5th April, 1695, Rachel Nichols resided in Rowley, then in Mendon, Mass.; had 8 children, recorded in Rowley.
      11. James, b. 22nd June, 1674; d. 8th October, 1694.
