Betty....Concur that Jeremiah Wood does not appear in the 1880 census although the family was probably in Manhattan.
Not to further confuse things but there were four successive generations of this Wood family, all named Jeremiah.
1. Jeremiah Wood, born abt 1821, NY, died (?)
2. Jeremiah Wood, born Aug, 1851, Williamsburg, Kings, NY died (?)
3. Jeremiah Wood, born 27 Sep 1876, NYC, died 16 Jan 1962, Hempstead, LI, NY. You will find his obit in the NY Times, 18 Jan 1962. Authorities won't release his death certificate to me.
4. Jeremiah Wood, born 23 Oct 1901, Brooklyn, NY (a twin) died 21 Nov 1901
I had hoped the ancestral family would show up in accounts of the life of the more obvious Jeremiah (1876-1962) but that has not yet been so.
