He was called 'Jonas Wood Oram' to distinguish him from his supposed cousin Jonas Wood Halifax. [5]
"It is a difficult problem to determine the identity of the wives of this Jonas and of his son Jonas and of his supposed cousin Jonas "Halifax". ... to accept, tentatively, the conclusion that Jonas "Oram" married a daughter of John Strickland ... he may have married a second wife, may have married a widow Smith, mother of James."[6]
Children:
- Jonas jr born about 1643
- Elizabeth married 15 Sep 1665 to Isaac Platt
- Phebe married Mar 1667 to Epenetus Platt

disputed marriage
"The statement in "Ancestors of Jacob Shaffer and his wife Cordelia Hunt" (by Mrs Josephine C. Frost, 1927) page 78 that Jonas "Oram" married Elizabeth Conkling is scarcely worth consideration for she was baptized 18 Mar 1648/9 as a child and was a generation too late to be mother of the children of Jonas "Oram."
Elizabeth Conkling was apparently of proper age to be wife of Jonas Wood, the son of Jonas "Oram" Wood.[7]
