1870 census transcript WOOD sisters found in Golly Rock Twp., Dardanelle post office, Yell county, Arkansas:
Caroline E. (Elizabeth Caroline) WOOD 25, born 1845 in KY
Nancy M. WOOD, 28, born 1842 KY
Martha WOOD, 24, born 1846 IL
Susan J. WOOD, 18; born 1852 IL
All single at this time. It appears they had RE and personal assets valued at $2,500 and $400 respectively.
Searching for any info on them; they are believed to be lateral ancestors in my WOOD and NICHOLS line, who may lead me to more info on my direct WOOD line. Their family migrated from KY, to IL, to MO and then these four sisters migrated to AR before the 1870 census perhaps because of the civil war. It's possible their parents and seven other siblings were civil war casualties as well as their uncle and five cousins all in Jasper Co, MO at the time of the civil war. Their father owned farm land in Jasper Co, MO that they may have sold to purchase land in AR.

My Wood family migrated to Missouri and then to Arkansas. I don't know how yours might be related, but we could try to figure it out if you will contact me.

My great grandmother was Susan Wood born in Dardanelle, Ark on Jun 22, 1855. I don't guess there's any connection. She was supposed to be Cherokee Indian raised by a white family when her parents were killed.
