Researching Alva WOOD b abt 1817 in NY. Married Polly PRATT
in Randolph Co. Resided in JAY county to 1850. Removed to Swan,
Noble County in that year.
Last information is he sold his land in 1862. Had connections to
Lyman and Harriet (RICKARD)PRATT of Michigan and one of his grandchildren
was born in that state. I don't know if he moved there however.
Probably related to Aaron WOOD who m. Mary Jane STROUSE in
Swan twp. An Alva was there in 1834 or 6. But married in Randolph Co
in 1839. Possibly him, but *could have been his Father.
Lucy WOODs, 62, was living in the household of Harriet RICKARD in 1850
With sons, Martin WOODS and Horace WOODS and Mary CRAMER,
including a child, Lucy WOODS, age 1
These early Swan, Noble County Surnames were well known in the area
and intermarried.
Would love to hear from anyone with ties to these. Glad to share what I
have. Not much more than I have given here except for descendants of
Alva and Polly and children of Aaron and Mary Jane Wood.
I do not know parentage of the WOOD families.
Thank you, Cher
