William
Wood made his mark in history. From fighting Indians in
Dunmore's War, to the establishment of the first Baptist Church
in Limestone, Kentucky, and co-developer of the original
Washington, Kentucky. While researching
the Wood line I (Debbie Nordyke) came across the Unpublished
Lyman C. Draper Manuscript notes, Series 8BB. These notes
provide interviews and letters by Christopher Stark Wood, John
G. Wood and the sons of their brother William, and other
relatives. Some of the information offers conflicting data, due
to the memories of individuals, but overall this is an excellent
resource for the life of William Wood. There are several sources
that give different variations on dates & places of births,
marriages and deaths. Some of the early research done in the
1800's was carried forward without documentation.
The
Draper manuscript shows the Wood line as follows: Richard Wood
> Thomas Wood > (Rev) William Wood. Thomas Wood came to
America —
landing in Philadelphia with his wife and 3
children, Richard, Rachel & William. William was about
4, at the time. Thomas died ca 1760 and William took care of the
family. His brother Richard had married a Quaker woman and
eventually moved to Mason County, Kentucky in 1788
—
dying shortly before the War of 1812
—
leaving 2 sons named Thomas and Allen. The following
Timeline reports the major events between 1749 and 1784 in the
lives of William and his spouse, Sarah Stark (daughter of
Jonathan Stark & Sarah Lacock).

The
Draper manuscripts had this incorrect report on the Stark
lineage of Sarah: "William learned the stone cutting
trade in PA. He took care of his mother for several years, she
later died in PA. William, at about age 19, went to Maryland
(south of York, PA) and married Sarah Stark, daughter of John,
nephew of Gen John Stark of WV, in the year 1767." [Editor's
comment: The lineage of Gen John Stark is well documented,
and Sarah Stark who married Rev William Wood did not come from
this line. This is some of the early research that has been
carried forward without primary documentation.]
Sarah
Stark had removed from New Jersey with her family to Loudoun
County, Virginia after the death of her father, Jonathan Stark
in Sussex County, New Jersey. She and her mother, Sarah (Lacock)
Stark, were probably living with Daniel Stark, an older brother
of Sarah (Stark) Wood.
The
Draper manuscript published a letter from Elder John G. Wood,
(s/o William), that reported the following: "Rev Wood
born Ireland, 1748 - d. July 1819 at 71 - Came to American 1757.
Married in NJ - moved to PA - to Loudon Co., VA - Mason Co., KY
- to Hamilton Co., OH in 1797 for 10 years and then to Green
(later called Champaign) and to Logan. Mrs. Wood was Scotch -
(Grandmother) and grandfather was English by birth...".
The Wood Bible gives the birth and marriage dates for William,
but no locations. [Editor's comment: It is more likely
William Wood and Sarah were married in Loudon County, Virginia.]
William
took his new bride to the new settlement at Redstone Fort, in
present day Washington County, Pennsylvania. However, shortly
after arriving, an Indian conflict with the settlers forced
William and his family to return to Loudoun County, where
Elizabeth was born in December of 1769. Sarah's older brothers
and Lacock relatives were still located in Loudoun County
—
probably a safer place for them to return to for
Sarah to give birth. Since William continues on the Loudon
County tithable lists until 1768, not 1769 and then appears in
1770, this would fit the Draper manuscript notes.
By
the end of 1770, William is at Redstone and settled near Ten
Mile Creek. This is where William was converted to the Baptist
faith. He preached in neighborhoods in conjunction with John
Corbly, Rev Mr. Majors, Rev James Ireland, & Rev Mr.
Swingler. Christopher was born in 1772 a region that would later
become Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
In
1776, William was listed as participating in the Redstone
Association meeting in October; representing Pike's Run. He was
appointed clerk of the meeting. A request from Cross Creek for
the constitution of a church was granted and William and John
Corbly were appointed to officiate in constituting that church.
In 1784, the Redstone Association met with Rev William Wood
representing Pigeon Creek, which had a total of 35 members.
There
is a survey dated June 8, 1780, made upon the Virginia
settlement certificates in Yohogania County, that reports
William Wood was awarded land consisting of 349 acres; bordered
to the east by Innis Run; south and west by Sugar Camp Run, with
the Mill Road running through. Sugar Camp run was a tributary of
Pigeon Creek. [Click Here To

William
moved his family from Pennsylvania (Devore's ferry on the
Monongahela River, about halfway between Redstone and
Pittsburgh), down the Ohio River, landing at Limestone, Fayette
County, Virginia, around noon on December 31, 1784.
Their
flat bottom boats could not continue traveling the frozen river
and severe weather forced the landing at Limestone. William Wood
and family had originally intended to travel on to Nelson
County, where Sarah (Stark) Wood's brothers had gone earlier.
There are many references to their landing at Limestone sited in
the sources below. Three boats of families left Pennsylvania for
Kentucky. Along with Rev. Wood and his family were the families
of Benjamin Fry and James Turner. According to the Draper MSS,
Simon Kenton met the families at the landing and talked them
into staying.
The
Draper manuscript mentions William raised two crops at Kenton's
Station in 1785 and 1786. In the fall of 1786, he moved to what
was to later become Washington, Mason County, Kentucky. Simon
Kenton sold 400 acres to William Wood and Arthur Fry, this being
land acquired while surveying in then Kentucky County, Virginia.
The town of Washington was laid out in "in lotts" and
"out lotts" by William Wood and Arthur Fox. Arthur Fox
was a surveyor from Virginia and invested in the land with
William. Arthur Fox, Sr. was buried in the Washington Baptist
Church Cemetery in Old Washington. When Arthur died (~1794),
William lost several thousand dollars.
There
were several other deeds in Mason County with William Wood's
name listed. An example of a deed abstract: "July 28, 1789,
William Wood and Sarah his wife and Arthur Fox and Mary his wife
of Mason Co. AND James Turner of Mason Co., District Kentucke,
state of Virginia, Tr: Sale of lots in Washington , Mason Co.,
Clerk: R. Rankin." [This James Turner was the father of
Mary Ann who later married William Wood's son Christopher.]
before
Kentucky became a state in 1792, Fayette County was formed from
Kentucky County, Virginia in 1780; from which Bourbon County was
formed in 1786; Bourdon County later divided to form Mason
County in 1789. Limestone, the original
settlement, became Maysville, after 1790. Maysville became the
county seat in 1844. Washington (original county seat), once a
thriving town, eventually merged with Maysville. The original
site is known as Old Washington, about 3 1/2 miles SW of
Maysville.
William
Wood is the Grantee on the following Virginia land grants in
Kentucky: 2,000 acres Fayette County Survey 12-24-1784 N.Fk.
Licking, Book 14, p.11 / 300 acres Fayette County Survey
12-7-1785 Fk. Lawrence Cr, Book 12, p.33; / 740 acres Fayette
County Survey 1-6-1786 N. Fk. Licking, Book 10, p.496 / 2,200
acres Bourbon County Survey 8-10-1788 N. Fk. Licking, Book 11,
p.421 / and 10,207 acres Bracken County Survey 2-28-1798 Kincaid
& Locust Crs., Book 19, p.273. [Editor's comment:
Because William was living in the disputed lands of Washington
County, Pennsylvania on a Virginia land grant, he was most
likely entitled to replacement grants by Virginia. However,
the Bracken County grant in this list was probably not
Rev. William Wood.]

Among
the signers of petitions to Virginia to separate from Bourbon
County, dated August, 1786: Abraham Wood, Andrew Wood, Benjamin
Wood, John Wood, Richard Wood, and William Wood.
In 1787, another petition to Virginia included the same names,
plus George Wood. By 1788 the names included: Amos Wood, Andrew
Wood, Christopher Wood, George Wood, and William Wood.
I do not know the relationship of the various Wood families,
except Christopher is the son of William Wood. It is possible
that Richard Wood was William's brother. William was mentioned
as a trustee December 19, 1793 when Washington, Mason County,
was established by the 1793 acts of the 2nd General Assembly. He
was again named a trustee when Franklin Academy was established
December 15, 1795.
Christopher
Wood commented to Draper that Rev. William Wood had the second
water mill in Washington, on Lawrence Creek, a mile below
Kenton's Station, around 1789 or 1790. This would seem to be
confirmed in the following Mason County, Kentucky Deed: "8
April 1799 William WOOD, minister of the gospel in Mason co AND
John Edwards, Sr., of Bourbon co Ky Tr: Sale of the Lower Mill
on Lawrence Creek, Mason co, including mill dam, mill house,
tailrace gards, etc. The Mill sold adjoins another mill sold
previously to William COLEMAN. It had been purchased previously
from Colonel Ramsey Black, and was located on land of Simon
Kenton, Price - 1200£. Wt: Robert Frazier, Thomas Phillips,
Adam Calderwood, Henry Clay Jr. Clerk: John Chambers. Deed #440,
Mason County, Kentucky."
Limestone
Church was organized in 1785 by Rev. William Wood
—
later named the Washington Baptist Church. William
donated the land for the church and cemetery; this Church
Cemetery today honored with an historical marker. The little
iron gateway to the cemetery still remains. The first baptisms
were performed in the Ohio River in August of 1788, in front of
the town of Limestone (later to be come Maysville). Elizabeth
Wood and Ann Turner were two of the persons baptized. The
Washington Baptist Church was twice destroyed by fire. In 1889,
the building was completely destroyed and not rebuilt. After an existence
of more than a hundred years, the Church founded by Rev. Wood
merged with the other remaining churches in the town of
Washington.
Living in Reverend Wood’s
home was the mother of the Stark Brothers, Sarah (Lacock) Stark, spouse
of Jonathan Stark [the elder]. Following is a relevant excerpt from "A History of Kentucky Baptists
from 1769 to 1885," Volume 1, pages 67 & 68; by John H. Spencer (Published in
Cincinnati by J.
R. Baumes, 1886):
LIMESTONE CHURCH (now Washington) was another
body of the kind organized on the soil of Kentucky in 1785. It was
gathered by William Wood. It was constituted of nine members whose
names were as follows: "William Wood, Sarah Wood, James
Turner, John Smith, Luther Calvin, Priscilla Calvin, Sarah Starks,
Charles Tuel, and Sarah Tuel."1 The church
was located at or near the present town of Washington in Mason
county. This was the oldest settlement in this region of the State.
It is claimed that Simon Kenton raised a crop of corn here, in 1775,
the same year that Boonesboro and Harrodsburg were settled, and the
town of Washington was laid off ten years later, by Elder William
Wood and a man of the name of Arthur Fox.
The
Two Associations - Regular and Separate Baptists in early times:
According to Spencer, it appears that the first families in the
Boonesboro settlement were all Baptists; it is known that the
Boones, Calloways and Frenches were Baptist. According to
Collins History, the first marriage was performed there 7 August
1776 between Samuel Henderson and Betsy Calloway by Squire
Boone, a younger brother of Daniel who was a Baptist preacher.
By 1781, three Regular Baptist churches were organized and by
the end of 1785, eighteen churches had been constituted - 11
Regular Baptists and 7 Separate Baptists. There were 19 licensed
Regular Baptist ministers: Squire Boone,
Joseph
Barnett, James Garrard, John Whitaker, Augustin Eastin, Wm.
Taylor, Wm. Marshall, John Tanner, George Stokes Smith, William
Edmund Waller, Richard Cave, John Taylor, John Dupy, Lewis
Craig, Elijah Craig, Wm. Hickman, Wm. WOOD, John Price and James
Rucker. There were 7 Separate Baptist preachers: Benjamin Lynn,
James Skaggs, James Smith, John Bailey, Joseph BLEDSOE, Joseph
Craig and Robert Elkin. No organization bound any of these
churches together until 1785 but it was decided that
associations were needed. It was difficult in the fact that two
different types of churches existed - the Regular and the
Separate. The differences were called "trifling." The
differences had come back in the early 1740's over the topic of
revival in the Congregational church. Many persons had been
fined and imprisoned for favoring revivals and it split the
Congregational church. Those who favored revivals were called
Separates because they
separated from the
established churches. Those remaining were called Regulars. This
term later applied to the Baptist church as well.
"Rev.
William Wood continued as pastor until 1798, when a difficulty
arose between him and one of the brethren, and the pastor,
refusing to make satisfactory concessions, was declared
"not one of us"." This quote comes from "A
History of Baptists in Kentucky". [Editor's comment:
This might explain
the family eventually moving to Ohio.]
"William
Wood, who served as the pastor of the Limestone Church from 1785
to 1798, founded the village of Washington, Kentucky. Around
1786 he visited John Gano, pastor of the First Church of New
York City, and encouraged him in his moving to Kentucky."
Spencer reported in the "Kentucky Baptists",
(1:67-68, 125-26) from John Gano's memoirs: "William
Wood came and encouraged me to go to Kentucky. There were others
in the County from New Jersey. I landed at Limestone 17 June
1787 and set out for Washington, Kentucky. Mr. Wood on my
arrival took me into his own house."

William
and Sarah moved to Ohio, as did four of their children. Since
the church made him "not one of us" in 1798, he
probably left for the North West Territory (OH) shortly after
that event. The following deed puts William in Hamilton County
(OH) in 1800: "February 20, 1800-
William Coleman of Mason Co. and William Wood of Hamilton Co.,
North West Territory. Tr: Sale of Six lots
in Washington, Mason Co. #127 to #131. Wt: Christopher Wood,
Jesse Wood, Abner Barrite. Clerk: John Chambers
Mason
County, Kentucky Deed Book 1789-1810." (The William
Coleman named above married Ann Wood, d/o William Wood)
On
a deed dated August 5 1810, he is named "William Wood of
Mason Co." Another deed dated June 12, 1811: "I,
William Wood of Clairmont [sic] Ohio appt Thomas Williams of
Washington, Mason Co, attny, to give certificates for inn lotts
containing 1/2 acre, and out lotts containing 5 acres, in
Washington for me. Clerk John R. Bullock." On January
24, 1811, two Justice of Peace had to get Sarah Wood's
relinquishment of dowry rights.
Clermont,
Ohio was formed Dec 6, 1800 from Hamilton County, one of the
first three counties formed in Ohio in 1790, being part of the
Northwest Territory. The Draper manuscript
notes report William and family following Simon Kenton to Warren
County, Ohio in 1799, and settling on Brush Creek off the Little
Miami River. A few years later he moved to Kings Creek,
Champaign County; finally settling at Silver Lake, Logan County,
where he is reported to have died.
The
following is based on information given to Draper by Christopher
Wood: "William Wood died Harrison twp, Logan Co, July,
1820, 72 years and ca 2 months - buried where a Baptist church
was supposed to be erected, with graveyard - not done - Judge
Wood and 2 brothers took remains to Allen Co., Ohio, 4 miles
from Lima, Ohio on Sugar Creek." William is said to be
buried next to Sarah Stark Wood in the Berryhill Cemetery in
Allen County, Ohio. William and Sarah are not listed on a
cemetery list. Berryhill Cemetery was created ca 1835, long
after the death of William Wood.
Reported
in the Draper MSS, a letter written by William D. Wood (s/o
William G., s/o Rev William), mentions an obituary notice for
Rev William Wood from the "Old Family Bible", written
by James M. Wood, s/o Albert G. Wood. It is unlikely that James
wrote this epitaph, unless it was written decades after the
death of William Wood. Albert G. was born in 1808 and his son
James was probably not born before 1828. In the Draper MSS their
is a letter from James M. Wood to Draper, who wrote, "You
were right about Grandfather's death. I was away from home at
the time." Postmarked November 22, 1863, Allen County,
Ohio (Grandfather is Christopher Wood.): "Departed
this life on the 11th day of July 1819. The Rev. William Wood,
after devoting 48 years of his life to the service of his Lord
and master in the Gospel, and through all opposition he held out
a faithful champion for the truth of the everlasting Gospel. And
with an unshaken confidence he calmly reclined his head on the
bosom of his Redeemer and breathed his life out sweetly then He
cheerfully bid this world adieu without a sigh."
William and Sarah are my 5th great Grandparents.
