Lucy Stone and Solomon Wood, Jr., both of Woburn, March 28, 1776.
Various sources, such as Source:Cutter, William Richard. Historic Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Vol. 4, p. 1971, say that Solomon Wood Jr., b. 1753, m. Lucy Stone, had a son Solomon 1776 and d. 1777 of small pox while in the Revolutionary Army in New Jersey. However, Source:Cutter, Daniel Bateman. History of the Town of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, from the Date of the Masonian Charter to the Present Time, 1749-1880, p. 533, and other histories of Jaffrey, say that Solomon and Lucy Wood settled in Jaffrey with a son Solomon and had other children (including, significantly, Huldah). And further, that he d. 1790, and his widow married Samuel Haselton.
The birth of Solomon in 1776 is to "Solomon and Lucy". The marriage record in 1776 is "Solomon Wood, Jr." So these appear to apply to the son Solomon. The death record in 1777 is found in Woburn, labelled "s. of ---". This cannot be positively tied to the son. While it would seem that the son b. 1753 is more likely to be the one who became a solider, but could it be the father b. 1722, or some other Solomon?
