Biographical Notes |
Note: In 1817 James married Elizabeth Crenshaw David. Elizabeth was the sister of Sarah A. Davis, who in 1816 had married James' brother Thomas. James and Elizabeth's only child David Morton Wood was born in 1819. James and Elizabeth were deeply religious, as many people were in that era. They sent their son to the Botetourt Seminary in Fincastle, grooming him for the ministry.
James Wood died of typhoid fever at a young age (56). Elizabeth died 17 days before he did, of the same disease. Their son wrote an obituary for both in which he describes their last hours;...entirely religious [sentiments].
