Note: "...after 1820 [Edward's] ambitions shifted to what is now West Virginia, where land was cheap (about 30 cents per acre) and certain to appreciate in value. That state was still largely virgin territory and heavily timbered, and Edward and his son Augustus began a career in logging.....The first saw-mill in Mingo [Randolph Co., 70 miles north of Edward's home] was built by Edward Woods and John Smiley... in 1822."
Historical Notes
Note: "Edward's father Joseph Wood died in 1816. Edward's inheritance was a slave boy named Burrell, whom he promptly sold to his Botetourt County brother James for $50."
