'Tunis Hood married about 1744 in Augusta (now Rockingham) County, Virginia, Elizabeth Harrison, who is reasonably well identified as a daughter of John and Phoebe Harrison, pioneer Colonial settlers of that section.'
'On July 27, 1744 [Rev. John Craig] baptised Elizabeth Herison (Harrison) “an adult person,” (Maxwell History and Genealogy p. 584) ... This Elizabeth Herison (Harrison) is believed to have been the wife of Tunis Wood.'
p. 100: 'That Elizabeth, first wife of Tunis Hood Sr., and mother of all of his children, died prior to 1790 is shown by the Federal census of that year for Mecklenburg County.'
