THE
WOOD FAMILY.
In our
efforts to gain some information concerning the Wood family we find
among the same a prevailing tradition that two brothers emigrated
from Virginia to South Carolina before the Revolution, and during
that struggle for American independence both entered the service of
their country.
At the
close of the Revolution they separated; one returned to Virginia and
the other removed to Tennessee. The one who returned to Virginia,
however, came back to South Carolina, settling in the eastern
portion of the present county of Spartanburg. It is supposed that he
married in Virginia, and it is not known how many children he had,
but William Wood was one of his sons who lived on Pacolet, near
Easterwood Shoals. He was a prominent and highly respectable citizen
in his day and time, and married Miss Nancy, daughter of the elder
William Lipscomb. By this marriage he had seven children as follows:
Lucinda, who married Wm. Littlejohn (known as Wm. Kink); James, who
married Harriet E. Wilkins; N. Lipscomb, who married Mary Austell;
David, who married in Alabama; Caroline, who married Daniel Draper;
John, who married Agnes Lipscomb; and Thomas, who married Addie
Lipscomb.
The
children of John Wood*, one of the sons mentioned, are as follows:
Sallie, who married Smith Lipscomb (son of Edward Lipscomb, Sr.);
Moses, who married J. Elma, daughter of G. T. Meng, Union county, S.
C.; Adolphus N., who married Millie Draper; Atlanta, who married W.
F. Bryant, Pacolet, S. C.; Lou H., who married R. R. Brown, Cowpens,
S. C., and Miss Terisa E., single.
