Dear Brenda,
I can't answer your question but I am researching the Wood family and I want to
thank you for your posting. I don't know if you are interested in Elizabeth but I have
some information. My 2nd great-grandfather is Isaac C. Wood born in Vigo county about
1826. Isaac, George D. and Elizabeth Wood (they are siblings) are living together in Vigo
co. in 1850 census. George's biography states "...His parents were among the
early settlers of the county, having settled here in 1826. Both died when he was quite
young..." So in 1850, Isaac, George and Elizabeth are fending for themselves. Isaac
married Sarah Jane Cooper in Parke Co. in 1852 and by 1860 they are living in DeWitt Co.,
IL. In 1870 they are living in Edgar Co., IL and 1880 they are back in Vigo Co. in
Atherton (Otter Creek twp.). I will keep a look out for the Hendrickson family. I am
curious if Adam and Elizabeth had any children also. In response to the person who did a
look-up, Emma E. Wood was the daughter of Geor!
ge D. and his fist wife, Ann Underwood. Carla Frazier
