Subject: Levi Wood and
family
Hello, I found your email on rootsweb.com. I'm a decedent of Levi Wood
and Phebe Pack - Wood. My g.g.grandmother was Julia Wood -
Carothers married to Charles H. Carothers. Levi had 2 brothers
Thomas
and Gauis P. Wood. I'm looking for documentation for Levi and
Phebe Wood, perhaps a Bible record of their
marriage, and the birth of their children. I have a copy of a
letter written by Cora Wood - Farland saying that
<>four children were born to Gaius and Juliana Wood. (1) Laura
born in 1834, died in 1898, married Wells Bigelow in 1852. Their
daughter Caroline was born July 10, 1867 in NY. Could you give me
more about your lineage. Here's my name and
address: Sandra K. Knoell,
6770 Trumble Road, Saint Clair, MI. 48079
I need the documentation for the Daughters of the American
Revolution. Levi son of Seth born in 1773 father
Nathaniel Wood Jr. born in 1749 fought in the Revolutionary War
and his father Nathaniel Wood Sr. also
fought in the war. The DAR needs proof that I'm related to
this Wood lineage. I'm in need of your help.
Sandra
