• Notes

  Bedford The 3rd of July 1816 Dear Father, Brother and Sister I received your very acceptable letter dated the 4th of June by the hand of Nathan Hoag which afforded us great satisfaction in hearing once more from you. As thee wanted me to inform thee about mother she departed this life in the winter of the year 1814-1815. As for our brothers and sisters, Anna is not married. Deborah married Tucker and he is dead. Elizabeth married Isaac Dean. They are both living at Queensbury. Sarah married Samuel Cox, Amos married a Post. They are all living in the Genesees. Rhoda married William Husted living in the Navesink. Abraham married an Archer, lives near King’s Bridge. Henry and Mary never married. They all live in New York State except John and Amy, they live in Upper Canada. John married a Roblin. Amy married Jonathan Bedford. Thee mentioned something in thy letter about that land. We never got it and think it is too late as we have no title for it. As for Tobacco, there is none grown in these parts. So must conclude, with informing you that we are all as well as common except my wife who has been unwell for some time. My wife and family join me in love to you all, and have a desire to be remembered to Rachel. So no more but remain your affectionate brother and sister James and Martha Wood source: Howe, Herbert Barber. Yorkshire to Westchester: A Chronicle of the Wood Family.
