  BET (Answer to Note 2401): John Wood Jr. appears often on Groton land records. In his later years he was harassed with debts and his lands gradually slipped away. There is no record of settlement of his estate, but a deed signed by his son-in-law Arthur Starkweather and wife Ruth on 13 April 1790, apparently shows her to be sole heir. It is for an acre and a half "which did formerly belong to John Wood of sd Groton, deceased." He was married three times. Name of first wife unknown. His second wife was Lucy (Avery) Leffingwell, widow of Jonathan and daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Bill) Avery. His third wife was Mary, surname probably Smith.
  John Wood died early in 1744 (probably a typo, should be 1774), as another John Wood was called "2nd" until this time on town records. He and his family are probably buried in unmarked graves in the Old Wood Cemetery.
  Church records: The wife wife of John Wood Jr. was among those in full communion before the Ordination (of the church) 22 Nov. 1727. This would be Mary, the first wife.
  Clan: John Wood had a share in the Susquehanna company for the settlement of Wyoming, PA, under the Connecticut claim. Oct. 8, 1776, Benjamin Bailey, "late of Groton, now of Susquehanna," for a consideration, quitclaimed to John Wood of Groton, all right in six acres of land belonging to the heirs of the late Abel Avery of Groton.
