The Wood Families of Orange County, NY

There were several Wood families in early to mid 18^th Century Goshen Precinct that may or may not have been related. As far as I know, no one has yet published a genealogy of all, or most of them. This paper attempts to put down in one place what I have been able to collect, in the hopes that it will be of help to some researchers and that it will garner corrections and additions from those who know more about some of these people than I do.

Major sources for this paper are: Descendants of Edmund Wood in America, compiled by F. Douglas Halverson, typescript, 1949, (NYPL APB p.v.55): An Account of Data Gathered on the Family of Timothy Wood and Related Families in Orange County NY by Marie Ferguson, 1954 typescript in NYGBS manuscript collection; a series of four articles by Matthew Wood, “The Descendants of Timothy Wood of Long Island” in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol 132, numbers 1-4, January through October 2001. and papers in the Elizabeth Horton and Helen Predmore collections at the Orange County Genealogical Society (OCGS) Matthew Wood has carefully examined the earlier literature and corrected many errors. Much of his work, however, concerns Woods not connected to Orange County. Elizabeth Horton was the leading Orange County genealogist in the 1950s; she interviewed and corresponded with many descendants as well as consulting primary sources and she was descended from Jonathan Wood for whom she sought unsuccessfully to find parentage. Helen Predmore was a later Orange County genealogist whose work is not as well documented but who did a better job of arranging neatly the material that she had.

These are the progenitors that I am dealing with here:

Part One: Three brothers, all sons of Jonas Wood of Jamaica

1. Daniel Smith Wood, of Warwick

2. Timothy Wood, of Goshen

3. John Wood, of Ulster Co

Part Two: Probably three brothers, ancestry unknown

4 Jonathan Wood

5 Vincent Wood

6 Israel Wood (Goshen)

Part Three. Miscellaneous

7 Israel Wood (Brookhaven)

8 Luke Wood

9. Maj. John Wood, Goshen, of the Battle of Minisink

Part One

Earlier genealogists had believed that the first Woods in Goshen, Timothy and Daniel were the sons of Timothy⁴ Wood of Huntington (Edmund¹, Jonas², Jonas³). Matthew Wood argues convincingly, that they descend from Timothy² Wood (Edmund¹). He was baptized in Halifax, Yorkshire, 12 July 1622, was a landholder in Hempstead, when it was founded on Long Island in 1644, then moved to Huntington about 1658, where he died in 1659/60.

Let’s pause for a moment and consider the relationship of these places on Long Island to Stamford, CT which contributed many of the earliest settlers to Goshen, among them Finch, Holly; Knapp and Seely. Stamford had been settled in 1641 by a group of puritans from Watertown/Wethersfield, CT who left because of religious differences with the majority. But by 1644 the citizens of Stamford could no longer agree with each other and a group of 23 families followed their religious leader, Rev. Joseph Denton, across the Sound to Long Island. This group included four Woods: Edmund, Jeremiah, Jonas (from Halifax) and Jonas (from Oram). The Stamford group are identified first with Hempstead, which probably extended to the North Shore. A deed for the area that became Huntington was given by the Indians in 1646 but it does not seem to have been settled until 1653; the earliest records are 1657. In 1658 Huntington applied to be annexed to the New Haven Colony and the two Jonas Woods were sent to negotiate. The point of all this is that there were doubtless many connections between Huntington and Stamford, just 12 miles away across the water, and this may help to explain the substantial movement of people from this area to Goshen where they mingled and intermarried with the somewhat earlier settlers from Stamford.

So our Timothy Wood moved to Huntington about 1658, shortly after it had been settled by a group from Stamford that included his brother Jonas. Timothy was probably married to a daughter of John Strickland of Huntington and the latter was granted administration of his estate on 31 Jan 1659/60. Several years later, Strickland moved to Jamaica, Long Island, and Timothy’s children probably went with him. These children were John and Jonathan Wood, who owned adjacent land, and Jonas Wood, who owned land nearby. We are interested in Jonas and will now follow his descendants.

Jonas Wood³ (Edmund¹, Timothy²) was born about 1657, probably in Hempstead, and died in 1731. He spent his entire life in Hempstead where he was a farmer, tanner, bone-setter, miller, lawyer, land speculator and activist in town, church and military affairs.[1] He married by 1685; his wife by 1700 (perhaps earlier), was Deborah Smith, sister of Daniel Smith (ca 1663-1754) of Jamaica. Children:[2]

i. Jonas, baptized by 1688, living in 1726 when his father made his will, but no further record.

ii. Daughter, b by 1693, m Samuel Denton of Jamaica. They both died before1726, leaving a son Daniel who was in Goshen by 1733. His will of 7 Nov 1750 mentions his wife Sarah, dau Sarah, sons Samuel, Gilbert, Joseph, James, Jonas, John, Daniel and Thomas. Executors: sons Samuel and John, and brother-in-law Daniel Everett.

iii. Susannah

iv. Deborah

v. Daniel Smith, b ca 1700

vi. Timothy, b ca 1703

vii. John, b ca 1706. He married in Jamaica about 1730, Hannah Coe, and about 1745 moved to Little Worth in Ulster County. This location has not been identified but was probably in Hamptonburgh or Blooming Grove, which later became part of Orange County. In his 1750 will, John named his brother Timothy one of the executors.

viii. Mary, b ca 1709. Matthew Wood believes she was the wife of Nathaniel Roe (see my Roe Family) who lived on Long Ridge near Daniel Smith Wood and named a son Jonas.

The rest of this section will be devoted to the descendants of 1. Daniel Smith Wood, 2. Timothy Wood and 3. John Wood.

1 Daniel Smith Wood, b ca 1700 or 1701, d in Florida, Goshen Precinct 1774. About 1728 he m1 Mary Oldfield of Long Island, dau of Richard Oldfield and Jane Thurston, and came to Goshen about the same time. He m2 Jan 1751, Mary McDowell Thompson, widow of Captain --- Thompson, and had children by both wives. In 1737, Daniel bought, allegedly for a dollar an acre, a 200-acre farm on Long Hill from George McNish. Witnesses were Samuel Clowes, Jr. and Robert Coe. These were all families with which the Woods had been associated in Jamaica. The farm stayed in the family for over a century.

An abstract of his will follows:[3] Oct 1 1773. Daniel Wood of Florida, Precinct of Goshen, Orange Co….I leave to my son John Wood Ł5.

Children by Mary McDowell Thompson:

16 Dr. Daniel Wood b 29 Jun 1751 in Florida, NY; d 3 Oct 1843 at Moravia, Cayuga Co, NY. In 1776 he was a physician and surgeon in Warwick, then served four weeks as a surgeon in the Rockland Co Militia. The next year he was appointed Lt. and then Captain in a Continental regiment, serving until 1779. George Washington gave him a letter acknowledging with deep appreciation the splendid care he gave to wounded and sick soldiers. After the war he moved to Montgomery Co, residing in Palatine and Canajoharie for 14 years, and then to Sempronius in Cayuga Co where he resided until 1830. After that he returned to Warwick, but receiving land on account of his war service, he returned to Cayuga Co, where he died. Daniel Wood, on 24 May 1792, married Kathrine Krause, born of German parents in the Mohawk Valley. She was married in the home of her father in Palatine, NY by a minister of the German Reformed Church. While still married to Daniel, Caty went to live with John Weaver and bore him four children. She died 3 Dec 1848 at St. Johnsville, NY.[14] Children:

Joseph T. Holmes. John Wood moved in the 1820s to Illinois where he founded Quincy, IL, naming it after John Quincy Adams whom he greatly admired. He lived there for some time in a log cabin before building what was long the finest house in Quincy, which ultimately became the home of the Historical Society. “John Wood might appropriately be called ‘the grand old man’ of Quincy … ambitious, public spirited, honorable, and intelligent, with great natural ability, and so commanded the respect of the entire community, and in public affairs is conspicuous in any history of Quincy.”[15] John Wood was elected Lt. Governor of Illinois and on the death of the governor, 18 Mar 1860, served until the inauguration of the next governor in January 1861. He also served as mayor of Quincy. He was one of the founders of the Congregational Church in Quincy and gave to the city, Woodland Cemetery where he and his two wives, his father, and children and grandchildren are buried. Children:

17 Andrew Wood, 1751 – Sep 1782, m in Nov 1774 Mrs. Elizabeth Wood Liester, no relation. She was born in County Longford, Ireland in 1748. In 1766 at the age of 18 she married Rev. Robert Liester, a Church of England clergyman. Shortly after the marriage he went to England to purchase books. After putting the books on ship for return, he went ashore and was never again seen although his wife and relatives searched for him a long time. Finally, through correspondence with someone in the household of the Clinton family in Little Britain, who had gone to Orange County from County Longford in 1729, Elizabeth obtained a post as governess, arriving in 1767. She was said to be “a well educated lady, an expert needlewoman. She made DeWitt Clinton’s first white linen shirt with frills.”[17] After living in this country for seven years, she married Andrew Wood, first obtaining the consent of Hudson Presbytery which declared her legally free.

At the outbreak of the Revolution, Andrew Wood became a private in Col John Hathorn’s Fourth Militia Regiment in Capt. John Sayre’s company; later in the company of his uncle, Capt Richard Bailey, and as a sergeant under Capt. Colvill Shepard. While her husband was absent with the militia, Elizabeth was left alone at her home in Florida with her small children and a colored girl. The neigborhood was terrorized by Claudius Smith, the loyalist robber who lived in the mountains nearby. He sent word to Mrs. Wood that he might come to her home any evening but he never did. Mary Armstrong, who later married Elizabeth’s son James, remembered being taken by her family to the jail at Goshen and being lifted up to see the brigand through a peep hole after he was captured.

Andrew took over his father’s farm south of Florida, but in 1782, he died, probably from wounds sustained in battle, and was buried in the Florida Presbyterian Churchyard. Elizabeth declared that she would not marry again until her children were educated and grown up. In 1806 she married, in the Warwick Reformed Church, David Lawrence, who lived across the road from their farm and whose wife, Elizabeth Poppino, (146), had died. David died in 1816 and Elizabeth brought back her widow’s third of his farm to her son, James Wood. She died in 1826.

James was a farmer, who took over the homestead of his father and grandfather, and was also a cabinetmaker and carpenter. For forty-four years he was an active elder in the Florida Presbyterian Church. During the War of 1812 he raised a company and was commissioned its captain. In 1814, James was elected a justice of the peace, a position he held for 18 years.

A newspaper clipping about Mary Wood, on her 97^th birthday, said that “she has always resided in the County which gave her birth, and within three miles of her father’s residence….She has mingled with young people of three generations and has enjoyed their pastimes, though protesting against many of the innovations of the modern family….Her genial spirit and wonderful cheerfulness is largely owing to the promises of God’s work stored in her memory, and to the many hymns learned at different periods of her life.”[20] Children of James and Mary:[21]

1721 Daniel Thompson Wood, 14 Jan 1800 – 18 Aug 1859. Daniel graduated from Williams College in 1826, then completed the study of Divinity at the Princeton Theological Seminary.

In the spring of 1832, he began to study with his brother in Middletown and in the fall attended Goshen Academy, then went on to Lafayette College at Easton, Pa, where he graduated in 1837, and later was given a doctor of divinity degree. After his graduation he attended Union Theological Seminary in NYC and for a time taught a classical school in Middletown. He was licensed as a Presbyterian minister in 1839 and accepted a call to Deckertown, Sussex Co, NJ. He was married 9 Oct 1839 by his brother, Rev. Daniel T. Wood, to Elizabeth Caroline Able, 6 Jan 1812 – 6 Apr 1882, dau of Jacob Able, said to be a lady of superior culture and education. After six years at Deckertown, James accepted a call at Chester, NY where he stayed for seventeen years. While in Chester he was an active agent in the underground railway in association with Poladore Seward, helping forward numerous slaves to Canada. In 1862 he resigned, moved to Easton, and made an extended trip to Europe and Palestine. In 1865 he became pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Allentown, PA.

173 Elizabeth Wood, b Nov 1780, m Peter Totten, son of Joseph Totten and Mary Poppino. Peter died in 1810 and his will made no mention of a wife, so Elizabeth must have died earlier. The children were then taken in and raised by their grandmother, Elizabeth Wood Lawrence.[24] Children:

174 Andrew Wood, 17 Nov 1782 – 1851, m 12 Jan 1804 at Goshen Presbyterian Church, Julia Poppino, 16 Jun 1781 – 1852, dau of John Poppino and Anna Jackson. They moved to Ohio, where in 1822 he bought from Richard Goldsmith for $600, 205 acres of farmland. They lived in Springfield Township, Richland Co, OH where they lived near David L. Poppino, son of William and Deborah Poppino. The two families may have gone out together. In the 1850 Census[25] he was listed as a farmer with real estate of $4,000. He shows up in the 1830 to 1850 censuses in Richland County, and was listed in 1850, age 67, as a farmer. I have found no evidence that he was a minister there. His second son was born in PA so the family may have gone there first; his third son was born in OH in 1817. When he died he left a 203 acre farm valued for taxes at $3210 with various items of farm equipment including 2 wagons, 1 cow and 25 sheep. His administrators were his sons Andrew, James C. and William, plus Erastus Cook. Among those inheriting part of Andrew's farm were Jesse Wood and Mary, his wife, who sold their share to Andrew Wood in 1854; also Samuel Wood and Christiana, his wife, and John Williams and Lucinda Williams, his wife, who sold their share to Andrew and William Wood. It would appear that Jesse was another son of Andrew who married Mary Dickson in 1841[26] and moved to Scotland Township, McDonough County, IL where in 1860 we find him, age 44 (i.e., born ca 1816), b Ohio, with Mary, 39, b NY and children: Richard 16, b Ohio, Ann 13, b Ohio, William 5, b IL, Perry 1/12, b IL.

The final settlement of Andrew Wood, deceased includes a notation, Aug 4, 1851, received of Andrew Wood for medical attendance on his father, mother and sisters. This suggests at least two sisters who may have been Lucinda Williams, b ca 1808 in NY, married to John Williams; and Eve Cook, b ca 1808 in NY and married to Erastus Cook who, in 1850, lived next to James Woods in Springfield Township.[27]
Children:[28]

1741 William Andrew Wood, b 1806 in NY, d between 1850-1860 in Richland Co, OH, m 1825 in Richland Co, Marie Poppino, b 1802 in NY, d in Richland Co. I don’t know Marie’s parentage; most likely she was a sister of David L. Poppino. Children: James, Andrew, Samuel Jackson, and five others.

1742 Lucinda Wood, b ca 1808 in NY, m John Williams.

1743 Eve Wood, c ca 1808 in NY, m Erastus Cook.

1744 James C. Wood, b 7 Jul 1811 in PA; d 25 May 1897. The 1850 census shows him a few families away from Andrew Wood, with four children: John, William, Jane and Ebenezer, but no wife.

She m2, before 1804, Augustus Oakley who died in 1809, and she m3, after 1826, James Green.[41] Jonathan’s father is unknown, however the discussion of Vincent Wood, #5, below, suggests that they may have been brothers and that their father was George Wood.[42] Jonathan was a highway master in Minisink in 1789 and a school commissioner in 1796-8.[43] The will of Jonathan Wood, yeoman of Minisink, made 22 Dec 1800, proved 11 Apr 1801,[44] named all his children except George and Samuel who must have died before him.

4(11) Mary Wood, b 17 Aug 1794, living 1832 in Ohio, m Hector Lynch

4(12) Elias Wood, b 15 Aug 1796. He is said to have gone to Clermont Co, OH with his brother Jesse and helped build his house there, but he also figured in deeds in Minisink in 1826 with his brother John Durland Wood. He was again living in Ohio in 1832. He m 30 Sep 1819 in Clermont Co, Mary Yost.[52]

5 Vincent Wood, 20 Apr 1760 – 20 Jul 1830, m ca 1786 Elizabeth Durland, 2 Jul 1767 – 29 Sep 1835.[53] She was the daughter of Charles Durland and Jane Swartwout of Chester and the sister of Mary Durland who m Jonathan Wood (4). This has led some to believe that Jonathan of Minisink and Vincent were brothers, though I have not seen any documentary evidence to prove that. Vincent was the brother of Israel Wood (d 1811) of Warwick as indicated by Israel’s will.

The notebook of Jonathan Elmer, minister of the Florida Presbyterian Church in 1750-1757 mentions four Woods: George Wood, Israel Wood, Daniel Wood and Alexander Wood.[54] Daniel Wood would be our #1, Alexander Wood probably our #71, Israel could be Alexander’s father, #7, or Vincent’s brother, #6. But who was George? George is a not unlikely father of Vincent since he named his first son George. Jonathan and Israel also named sons George.

Vincent Wood was an early teacher—perhaps the first teacher—at the school in Sugar Loaf. He was a beautiful penman and a mathematician. He bought 62 acres of land from Elijah Marvin and other land from Josiah Howell.[55] He witnessed the will of Samuel Raynor in 1788, John Bradner in 1790, Nathan Marvin in 1808, and was co-executor along with Daniel Poppino of his brother Israel Wood in 1811. His own will, made 4 Sep 1829 and probated 19 Oct 1830, named five sons and eight daughters. Executors were sons George and Joseph plus Jesse Wood, Jr. Esq.[56] Children:[57]
