I believe that my ancestor connects to these Wood families.She was Frances Wood who married Jesse Mills October 27, 1828 in Nelson County.
Frances Wood and Jesse Mills had these children:
Nancy who never married and was listed as "idiotic" on one census record in Kanawha County, West Virginia.She was b. abt. 1829 in Nelson County and d. in September 1861 in Kanawha County, West Virginia
Mary F. b. abt. 1833 in Virginia and d. February 29,1853 in Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia).Mary was listed as "single" at the time of her death.
Zach, Zack or Zacariah b. abt. 1835 in Virginia and quite possibly died between 1850 and prior to the Civil War as there is no military record for him and I cannot locate him in 1860 in Kanawha County with the rest of his family.
James b. abt. 1837 possibly in Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia).He married Mariah/Maria (--?--) before July 1860 in Kanahwa County, Virginia(now West Virginia).They had four children:James, Robert S, Mary and Jesse M.By 1880 James and Maria are living in Union, Lawrence County, Ohio. None of their children are at home.
Sarah Jane (my 2X great-grandmother) was b. August 11, 1839 in Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and d. on June 3, 1923 in Kanawha County, West Virginia.She married John Peter Parcell on March 18, 1858 in Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia).Their children were: James Mason Parcell, William E. Parcell, Charles Albert Parcell, Robert L. Parcell, Ida May Parcell, Joel Ruffner Parcell (my great grandfather) and George David Parcell.
Demanda aka Dimonda and Amanda who was b. abt. 1841 Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and married Jonas or Jonah Seaman/Seamond.They were married by Henry Stevens on March 2, 1863 in Kanawha County.I believe that she died soon after their marriage as I can not find her in 1870.
Elizabeth "Betty" was b. January 1844 Virginia/West Virginia.She married Joseph Arthur on May 7, 1867 by T. F. Holt in Kanawha County, West Virginia.Their children were Jesse Seaman Arthur m. Stella Blanche Murray, Oad aka Ode/Ota/Oda Arthur, Alberta or Alfretta "Allie" Arthur who m. Henry Bascom Lynn.
Jesse aka Joshua(named as such on one census) b. abt. 1846 Kanawha County, Virginia/West Virginia...no further information.
Hezekiah b. abt. 1848 Virginia/West Virginia.He married June 3, 1885 in Kanawha County, West Virginia Miss Helen Tucker.He died prior to 1891.The family story is that he worked for a mining company and had taken the animals down to the Kanawha River to water them, was tangled in the reins, thrown in the river and drowned.It is unknown where he may be buried.Hezekiah and Helen had two children: Columbus Odell and Kate.
