6. Brewer Wood (James1) was born in 1782 and died before 5 Nov 1827 in Logan, KY.

General Notes: Brewer Wood died the latter part of 1827 and is buried in the Wood Cemetery in Logan County, Kentucky. His estate was settled November 5, 1827 with Rebecca Wood, wife, the administratrix. The attorney was Harris D. Wood. Another Wood married the sister of Rebecca Dulin, so Harris D. Wood could have been the son, brother, nephew, or cousin of said Brewer Wood. The records of Logan County, Kentucky showed that this Wood who married the sister of Rebecca Dulin was from Massachusetts. Rebecca Dulin Wood signed some of the administration papers at the home of her one of her sons, Perry G. Wood, in Green County, Illinois, but she was present in Russelville, Kentucky when the estate was finally settled. She (Rebecca) had a daughter, name unknown, and a son named John Wood who lived in Coyell County, Texas, raised a family, died and is buried there. Said John Wood would be a brother of Mathew J. Wood. The record does not show who were the heirs of Brewer Wood.

Brewer married Hicksey Blanchard on 12 Nov 1804 in Logan, KY.

   17    i. James Wood was born in 1805.

Brewer next married Rebecca Dulan on 5 Jun 1809 in Logan, KY. Rebecca was born in 1790 and died in 1860, at age 70.

General Notes: Apparently there was a conflict between Lucy Brooks and her
stepmother Rebecca. In January 1854 Lucy and John Brooks petitioned
the court for the amount due them from the estate of Brewer Wood,
which was $39.80. Harris Wood answered the petition against his
mother Rebecca. He said that Rebecca had a receipt showing payment of $15 to Lucy. Also he pled the statute of limitations in his defense
claiming that seven years had elapsed since Rebecca had made
settlement. Rebecca said that she gave Lucy a bureau valued at $12 in
1840, before she married John Brooks.
