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

    Husband: James Wood, dec'd.
    Sons: Robert Wood ; James Wood

    Granddaughters: Mary Dorcas Wood ; Mary Ann Harrison ; Elizabeth Harrison ; Mary Harrison

    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.]
