dated D. & N. R. R. The land purchased by Jonathan Wood extended from what is now the Cannon farm, on the north to the Cole and Marvin farms on the south, and from "the mountain " on the west to and across the Norwalk River. Many additional purchases were made by him afterwards of land, and he spent the remainder of his life upon this Wilton spot. He divided his property among his children during his lifetime, reserving a life estate to himself and his wife Mary, as is shown by the land records at Norwalk and the Probate records at Fairfield, Conn. His will is dated June 3, 1725, and proven April 21, 1727. His wife, Mary, and son, Obadiah, are named as executors.

He died November 6, 1726, and his wife Mary died February 26, 1729.

The records at Norwalk show that in 1710 Jonathan Wood was granted liberty to sit in a certain privileged pew in the church, and in 1713-14 that he was exempted from further church rates at Norwalk "provided he attend meetings in Ridgefield." The records of Ridge- field show him to have been among the first purchasers of land at that place. His children were as follows, and the dates of birth are approximately correct :

Jonathan2nd, born in Long Island 1691-92 ;

Isaac born in Long Island 1693;

Titus, born in Long Island;

Samuel, born in Long Island, removed to Stamford, and then to Bedford, N. Y .;

Obadiah1st, born in Long Island 1698-99;

Experience, born in Long Island ;

Mary, born in Long Island.

SECOND GENERATION.

He married, November 5, 1715, Elizabeth, daughter of David Munrow, of Norwalk (Ridgefield Records). She was born August, 1693 (Norwalk Records). David Munrow's will is in the records of the Probate Court at Fairfield, and in it is named his daughter "Elizabeth the wife of Jonathan Wood of Norwalk." The dates of the death of Jonathan and his wife Elizabeth are unknown, but the records of his land trans- actions with his children show him to have reached the age of nearly one hundred years.

He was one of the executors of his father's will. At different times he purchased land in the Limestone Dis- trict, Ridgefield, and in the immediate vicinity of Umpawaug Pond. Later still he purchased the farm in South Salem, where he lived until his death, which occurred February 16, 1791, as shown by the records of the Presbyterian Church of that place. It is shown also that with his wife Anna he was admitted to full communion in this church July 7, 1754. In the records of Ridgefield his death is recorded one day later than as above given.

SAMUEL WOOD LINEAGE.

"LEAVES FROM THE WOOD."

In presenting the here proffered information relative to the descendants of Dr. Samuel Wood, I do not claim it to be a complete genealogy of the family. My principal aim is to give the history of the branch to which I belong, and it will be observed that in each genera- tion, after the third, the side branches are dropped and the line of the main stem only con- tinued. I am led to do this because the author of this work is publishing genealogies of Norwalk families, and I believe ours is the only one of those descended from Dr. Samuel Wood and still bearing the surname that is found in Norwalk at the present time, although other descendants in female lines have been numbered among its iuhabitants for many years. Among the Samuel Wood descended families are those of Henry I. Hoyt, the late Thomas H. Morrison, Philo W. Bates, and perhaps others. I have not pursued closely the investiga- tion beyond the high water line of our own shores, but have taken for the first generation the emigrant ancestor, Dr. Samuel Wood, and lined out the descent from him down to the pres- ent time.

FIRST GENERATION.

Dr. Samuel Wood was born and educated for his profession in England. Sailing for America he appears to have landed in Massachusetts Bay district. From thence he removed westward until he finally reached Norwalk, Conn., where he married Rebekah, daughter of Thomas Benedict1st She was born on Long Island about the year 1660. It has been already

1899, a vigorous business man of Norwalk. His son Charles N. is a Norwalk civil engineer.

written that Thomas Benedict was born in Nottinghamshire, England, in 1617. He was ap- prenticed to a weaver and in his twenty-first year came to America. In the same ship came also his step-sister, Mary Bridgum, and they were married shortly after reaching New Eng- land, in the year 1640. They lived awhile in the vicinity of Massachusetts Bay, and then removed to Southold, Long Island, and again to a town on the Island known as Hassama- mac, and again to Huntington, and from thence to the neighboring town of Jamaica. From there he removed, in 1665, to Norwalk, Conn., where he continued to reside the remainder of his life. While on Long Island there were born to Thomas and Mary Benedict five sons and four daughters, one of whom was Rebekah before mentioned. Thomas Benedict is reputed to have had three generations of ancestors, ali of the name William, in Nottinghamshire. Dr. Samuel Wood did not tarry long in Norwalk after having been married, but removed to Danbury in 1685-6, and if he was not among the first eight to arrive there he came immediately after them. He became at once one of the leading men of the place, standing high in his profession, and taking an active interest in the educational affairs of the latter town. He died in 1714 possessed of a goodly estate and left, as far as at present known but one child, Samuel2nd. His residence was on what is known as Deer Hill, directly west from the present county jail.

There is a family tradition that Dr. Samuel Wood, Sr., had a daughter who died early, and the fact that December 11, 1722, his widow and his son Samuel2nd joined in executing a deed1 of tract of land to Dr. Thomas Dean would seem to indicate that there were no other living heirs to the estate of Dr. Samuel Wood, Sr.

He was styled Captain John Wood, having received a commission from the representatives of His Majesty March 25, 1756.

Daniel, son of Samuel Wood2nd, died at Danbury December 1, 1808, upon which day his will is dated. His wife Mary was born in 1725 and died October 25, 1805. Her surname is not known. He owned a large farm at Long Ridge, Danbury, adjoining and immediately north of that of his brother Lemuel. The house in which he lived, built, probably, previous to 1750, is still standing. In 1789 he enlarged the original building for the occupancy of his only son, Daniel, Jr., giving him title to the addition with the ground upon which it stood. The house is now (1896) occupied by one of his descendants. He kept an old time tavern at this place, which was on one of the roads leading from New York to Boston, and in the line of travel from Norwalk to Danbury, and he was always styled Landlord Wood. The Dan- bury Congregational Church records show himself and wife to have been members of that body, and record the death of two children. The children are mentioned in his will. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery west of the county jail in Danbury, Conn. The children were :

Mary, born in 1747, spinster, died May 4, 1812 ;

Hannah, born in 1748, married Justus Hoyt, of Pembrook, and died April 15, 1832; Anna, born November 24, 1749, married, September 5, 1786, Colonel Ashael Salmon of Redding, an officer of the Revolutionary War;

He married, first, Wealthy, daugh- ter of Noah and Deborah Munrow of Sharon, Conn., and had seven children. His wife was born October 15, 1759, and died July 10, 1818. He married again, August 26, 1821, Lydia, born 1775, died September 23, 1845, widow of Benjamin Lobdell, and had William. Lydia had two children by her first marriage, Selleck and Sallie Lobdell, both of whom married de- scendants of Daniel Wood1- Daniel, Jr., lived on Long Ridge until the death of his father, when he inherited a greater portion of his father's landed estate. At his death he was buried by the side of his first wife, Wealthy, in the old cemetery west of the county jail in Dan- bury. The widow, Lydia, survived him about sixteen years and was buried at the side of her first husband in the burying ground at the south end of Starr's Plain District in Danbury. In this ground lie many of the early settlers of the region, but unfortunately inscribed head- stones in many instances were not placed. The Congregational Church records of Danbury show that Daniel and his first wife belonged to that body. His children were :
