Winchester, Virginia, and its beginnings, 1743-1814: from its founding by Colonel James Wood to the close of the life of his son, Brigadier-General and Governor James Wood, with the publication for the first time of valuable manuscripts, relics of their long tenure of public offices. (Strasburg, Virginia: Shenandoah Publishing House, c1926).

    [cos1776 Note: Contains a full transcript of the Will of Mary Wood (p 353). The Abstract and Notes below are mine.

    MARY WOOD. Frederick county. Will: 20 Sep 1790. Rec: 2 Jul 1798.

    Husband: James Wood, dec'd.
    Sons: Robert Wood ; James Wood
    Grandsons: James Wood and Robert Welsh Wood (sons of Robert)
    Granddaughters: Mary Dorcas Wood ; Mary Ann Harrison ; Elizabeth Harrison ; Mary Harrison
    Executors: sons James Wood ; Robert Wood
    Wit: Alex. White ; Thos. White

    Notes: Will was proved 2 Jul 1798, by oath of Alexander White. On 5 Feb 1811, the negro Sarah appeared in court to claim her freedom which was granted by Mary Wood's Will. The court refused, the same being opposed by Peter Lauck, who claimed said Sarah as a slave. During this trial, Obed. Waite appeared as one of the heirs of said Mary Wood.]

    This Alexander White (1735-1804) first married Elizabeth Wood and married second to Sarah (Cotter) White, widow of John Hite, on Oct. 24, 1782. He practiced law in Winchester. Alexander's nephew, Francis White (1761-1826), was sheriff of Hampshire County. See his family in Sage and Jones
    records. This White family is presented as a section in my book on Frederick County settlement and settlers (1995). You will also find information in Maxwell and Swisher's history of Hampshire County in the appendix, I believe.
