Person:Andrew Hood (4)

Information on Andrew Hood

In 1769 Maj. Andrew Hood married Massa Sudduth (b 1748 in Frederick County?). They lived for a time in Shepherdstown. They moved in 1774 to Pennsylvania. He served in the Revolution as a private under George Rogers Clark. Around 1784 he moved to KY (perhaps to take up bounty land for his war service) and established Hood’s Station, near Strode’s Station, north of Winchester, KY. He was listed there in 1787 in the tax list of what was then Bourbon County, which became Clark Co. in 1792. In 1794 he had 150 acres of land in Clark Co and 1000 in Mason County. In 1795 he paid taxes on 250 acres at Hood’s Creek, and in 1796 he transferred it to Ralph Morgan. It appears that he had moved his residence to Mason County around 1792, at least before 1796 when there are references to a road passing by “Major Hood’s old place.” [Source: http://www.popenoe.com/Shenandoah.htm#Sudduth].

   Despite the dangers, the Hood family settled in Kentucky. Lucas Hood married Johannah Van Stockholm and with her had four sons (Aaron, Andrew, Han and Thomas) as well as six daughters (Sarchet, Martha, Rachel, Elizabeth, Peggy and Catherine). Andrew Hood fought in the Revolution for Virginia and eventually settled along the banks of the Big Stoner in the late 1780's in Kentucky.
