Robert Joseph Wiepert Writes:

I was tracing back my family tree & got to Samuel Wood, Samuel Wood
& his wife Rachael Rawson,
Rachel Wood

I saw that his father was listed as Ebenezer Wood,
https://www.geni.com/people/Ebenezer-Wood-of-Mendon/600000000042475....

And mother listed as Rachel Nichols;
Rachel Wood

I don't believe Ebenezer & Rachel Wood are his parents since there is another confirmed son named Samuel listed,
Samuel Wood

All of the documentation I've seen so far that lists Rachel Rawson marrying Samuel Wood does not show Samuel's parents, I believe this information is lost to history at this point.

From my research the most likely person to be Samuel's father is Josiah Wood;

who is Ebenezer's brother & also had a son Samuel;
Samuel Wood

Your thoughts? Should this link between Ebenezer & this second Samuel; Samuel Wood
be severed?

Thanks for your time.

It’s this Samuel Wood (1706 - 1799) married Mary Irish seems misplaced.

The Samuel Wood Samuel Wood (1696 - 1790) married Rachel Wood Is in Cutter:

And - looks like Cutter got it wrong, because

: According to NEHGS article, Priscilla Wood was the only child of this couple. "Notices of the Descendants of Secretary Rawson", 1849. Vol 3, p 304, GoogleBooks Page 313. GoogleBooks

Can we check on the marriage of Mary Irish to Samuel Wood

11/12/1730 At Mendon?

Supposedly parents of Mary Jones (1732) & Asa Wood

Mary married Jesse Irish on 03/21/1733 at Mendon, but Samuel Wood was still living?
