1793
On December 24, 1793 a Bond of Marriage of Dickerson Wood II and Hannah Wither was executed and delivered by John Withers, Hannah's father, to Henry Lee, Esquire, Governor of Virginia. The bond read:
Dickerson Wood and Hannah Withers Marriage Bond
Know all men by these Presents, That we Dickerson Wood and John Withers are held and firmly bound unto his Excellency Henry Lee, Esq. Governor of Virginia, in the just and full sum of one hundred fifty dollars, current money, to which payment well and truly to be made, to the said Governor or his successors, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, and administrators, jointly and severally, firmly by these Presents: Sealed with our seal, and dated this 24 day of December 1793.
The condition of the above obligation is such, that, whereas there is a marriage suddenly intended to be solemnized, between the above bound Dickerson Wood and Hannah Withers now if there be no lawful cause to obstruct the said Marriage, then the above obligation to be void and of no effect, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.
Sealed and delivered in presence of (illegible)
/s/ Dickerson Wood
/s/John Withers

Dickerson Wood II joined Darnold, in Culpeper County, Virginia, after Dickerson Wood I died in 1803. William Wood seems to have stayed at the home place in Virginia until joining with others leaving for Kentucky in about 1816. It is not known if any other Wood came to Kentucky. The younger Dickerson Wood later settled in what became Marion County, West Virginia. He died between 1799-1864 in Marion County, West Virginia. There are descendents by his name in the 1880 census.


Dickerson Wood, Jr. was the son of Dickerson Wood and Mary. The family lived at Leeds Manor, having property leased to them from Lord Thomas Fairfax. They were to take care of the land and have so many apple trees and so many acres of tenable land, paying a yearly rent of 100 pounds. This is all documented.

December 24, 1793 Hannah's mother, Elizabeth, consented to the marriage.

Fauquier County December 24th 1793. This is to certify that I Elizabeth Withers and Hannah Withers do give free liberty to Dickerson Wood to get ought license to join together the holy estate of matrimony as Witness our hands Elizabeth Withers Hannah Withers. (Volume 1-3 Fauquier County, Virginia Marriage Bonds)
Dickinson Wood married Hannah Withers September 3, 1786 in Fauquier County, Virginia; Dickinson Wood married Hannah Withers December 24, 1793 in Fauquier County, Virginia. These two different dates of marriage were reflected on a CD. Obviously one of the entries is in error. There is a 7 year difference between the two marriage dates. Note also that the first name is given as Dickinson rather than Dickerson. However, it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Dickinson Wood and Dickerson Wood are one and the same because (1) the marriage to a Hannah Withers is common to them and (2) the marriages occurred in Fauquier County, Virginia.

From LaRita Couch (laritajim@cyberport.com) She states, "All the sons except Gabriel went to Nakomis, Montgomery Co, Illinois (according to my GGrandmother Fannie Wood Cline.)"
She also states, "Do you know anything about Amelia and Gabriel having Indian descent??? It has been a tale that has been told forever on our side and I read a query on the Coshocton page that said she was part Indian. I think there is a difence in opinion on the amount of Indian blood and which tribe."
