I'm also descended through Thomas WOOD & wife Ann (HUNT?) of Rowley, MA,
through their daughter, Hannah WOOD, who m. James BAILEY.

Thomas was s/o Edward WOOD & Ruth LEE of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England.
Edward was in Charlestown, MA as early as 19 Aug 1639, a baker. (Thomas was a
carpenter.)

Edward was the son of Lewis WOOD (buried 15 Apr 1626 Nuneaton, Warwickshire,
England), a "brazier & pewterer", and his wife, Margaret "Alice" HOLMES, bur. 29 Oct
1598 Nuneaton.

There is a 90pp. article by Janet Delorey in the Spring 1988 issue of "The Genealogist"
that details 4 generations of this family.

For some reason, I have info on all of the children of Thomas and Ann EXCEPT
Obadiah, so would be grateful for vitals on him :) Thanks
**************************************************
I bought the issue of the The Genealogist with Janet Delorey's excellent article some years ago
from APSG, Ltd., 255 N. 2nd West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103; a bargain then at only ten
dollars. (If they have raised the price on reprints since then I wouldn't blame them.) Even though
the article is only 70 pages rather than 90 (it STARTS on page 90), it's a treasure for any
descendant of this interesting family.

WOOD Thomas Wood, emigrant ancestor of Pliny Williams Wood, of
Worcester, and Judson I. Wood, of Gardner, Massachusetts, is first
mentioned in the records of Rowley, Massachusetts, April 7, 1654, when he
married Ann (???). Her maiden name is not given but there is much reason for
believing that it was Hunt, and she was probably of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
John Grant, of Rowley, married Mary Hunt, who made her will in 1697, and
called Ann Wood and Susannah Todd, wife of John Todd, of Rowley,
"sisters;" and in papers on file in the Essex county probate court with the will
both Ann and Susannah are mentioned as being about sixty years old in 1697.
In the will of John Todd he mentions "Brother Hunt;" in an affidavit in the
Salem records Thomas Wood calls himself about forty years old in 1675 and
calls John Todd brother.

There is reason to believe that Thomas Wood was the son of William Wood,
of Concord, Massachusetts, who came from Matlock, England, in 1638, at
the age of fifty-six years, with his nephew, Hon. Thomas Flint, and settled at
Concord. He died May 14, 1671, aged eighty-nine years. He is supposed to
have been the author of a book entitled "New England Prospect." His will was
made September 15, 1670, and proved June 20, 1672. He made bequests to
daughter, Ruth Wheeler, and son-in-law. Thomas Wheeler; to his grandchild,
Abigail Hosmer; to sons, Thomas and Michael. Shattuck says his children
were: Michael. Ruth, Abraham, Isaac, Thomas, Jacob, John, Abigail.

Thomas Wood was buried at Rowley, September 12, 1687. His widow Ann
died December 29, 1714. All their children were born at Rowley,
Massachusetts; they were: 1. Mary, born January 15, 1655, her history
unknown (possibly married a Hosmer, see will of William Wood, of
Concord). 2. John, born September 2, 1656; married Isabel Hazen, had
eleven children. 3. Thomas, born August 10, 1658; married Mary Hunt,
probably of Ipswich; nine children; he was buried December 1, 1702. 4. Ann
or Mary Ann, born August 8, 1660; married, January 15, 1678. Benjamin
Plumer. 5. Ruth, born May 21, 1662; married Captain Joseph Jewett, January
16, 1680-81; he died October 30, 1694; she married (second) John Lunt,
October 26, 1696; she died November 29, 1734. 6. Josiah (twin), born
September 5, 1664; married (first) Sarah Elithorp, 1685; married (second)
Mary Felt, 1689; had two children. 7. Elizabeth (twin), born September 5,
1664. 8. Samuel, born December 26, 1666, died November 25, 1690;
married Margaret Elithorp; had one child. 9. Solomon, of whom further. 10.
Ebenezer, born December 29, 1671; married Rachel Nichols and had eight
children. 11. James, born June 22, 1674, died October 18, 1694.

the emigrant ancestor of many of the Worcester county Wood families, was
the progenitor of Charles Mortimer Wood of Upton, Massachusetts. Thomas
Wood came to New England Probably soon after 1650. He married Ann
Todd (or Hunt) April 7, 1654. They made their home in Rowley. He appears
to have been a quiet, industrious man. He died in Rowley, September, 1687,
and was buried there September 12. His widow lived until December 29,
1714. All their children were born in Rowley. Among the old family papers of
Charles Mortimer Wood is a record written possibly by Ebenezer Wood,
grandson of Thomas Wood, and an ancestor of Charles M. Wood, giving the
information that Thomas and Ann Wood came from Yorkshire, England to
Rowley. The children of Thomas and Ann Wood were: 1. Mary, born January
15, 1655. 2. John, born September 2, 1656, married Isabel Hazen. 3.
