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 II, 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 Wood1st. 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 :

Polly Ann, born February 14, 1831, married, 1849, Orrin L., son of Thaddeus Bron- son, of Starr's Plain, Danbury, and has two daughters.


SEVENTH GENERATION.


Noah, son of Joseph Platt and Clarissa (Pickett) Wood, was born in Danbury October 25, 1822, and was probably the first of his line to make Norwalk his home since Dr. Samuel, the emigrant, there tarried long enough to take unto himself a wife. Arriving in Norwalk in February, 1845, he lived for a few years in the old St. John place on the green. The resi- dence of his son, Charles N., now stands on the southern end of the St. John place. About the year 1853 he built the house, since known as the Newkirk place, on Lewis street, west of the Congregational Church, where he resided until he purchased (in April, 1855) from Rev. Dr. Edwin Hall, the historian, the place on East Avenue that has since been his home. He married, November 24, 1839, Eliza Jane (born January 26, 1821, died November 16, 1855), daughter of Colonel Joseph Wakeman and Eliza (Goodrich) Gorham, of Redding. Colonel Joseph W. Gorham was a direct descendant of Captain John Gorham, born at Ben- field, in Nottinghamshire, England, 1620-21, who married, 1643, Desire, daughter of John Howland and granddaughter of John Tilley, both of whom were Mayflower passengers.


John Gorham was appointed Captain of the Second Company of Plymouth forces in King Philip's War, and died from the effects of exposure in the great Swamp fight. He was buried at Swansea February 5, 1675-6. Eliza Goodrich was the daughter of Ethan Good- rich, who descended in a direct line from William Goodrich, one of the two brothers who came to Wethersfield, Conn., from England in 1643 and married Sarah Marvin of that place in 1648.


The children of Noah and Eliza J. Wood were :


Charles Gorham, born Danbury, Conn., September 10, 1840, died, Norwalk, Conn., July 6, 1846.


Frances Jane, born Danbury, Conn., January 1, 1842, married Jonathan Camp, Norwalk, April 5, 1865. He was born January 22, 1838, and died April 16, 1874. Their children were Kate Elaine, born at Norwalk January 18, 1866, and Jonathan, born at Jersey City, N. J., January 10, 1874.
