• Notes

  Jeremiah Wood no doubt came from Hempstead, and was the son of Jeremiah Wood, Sr., who died in Hempstead in 1686, as appears by deed recorded in Hempstead Records, Liber I, p. 283, County Clerk’s office, in which it is recited that “Jeremiah Wood, Joseph Wood and Jonas Wood are brethren and sons of Jeremiah Wood, lately deceased.” Again, in a deed by Jonas Wood, Vol. 2, p. 172, it is recited that Jonas “resigns his interest in lands that belonged to his grandfather, Edmond Wood.” Probably this is the “Edmond” who died in Huntington. source: Street, Charles R. Huntington Town Records, Including Babylon, Long Island, N.Y. 1653-1688, with Introduction, Notes and Index, Volume 1. Huntington, NY: The Long Islander, 1887.
