Have found nice info on Sally Braman Wood family. Sally Braman m. Stephen Wood , m. intention dated Easthampton Sept. 5, 1821. History of Easthampton 1866 by Payson W. Lyman included the following write-up on Stephen Wood.(p. 191-192)
Ezekiel Wood was the first person bearing the name of Wood who lived in Easthampton. He was connected with the army in the war of the Revolution as Surgeon, and died at West Point while in the service. He had seven children, viz: Daniel, David, Seth, Ezekiel, Stephen, Polly, Tamasind.
Daniel and David were also soldiers in the Revolutionary war. David afterwards settled in Southampton. Daniel moved to Palmyra, NY where he died in the 98th year of his age. The following notice of him was published at the time of his death:-"He entered the service in early life, and was one of those hardy veterans who penetrated the wilderness of Quebec with Col. Arnold in April, 1775. He remained before Quebec through the following winter. He was also one of the soldiers at Saratoga, and served through the war."
Tamasind was the wife of Thaddeus Clark. Ezekiel was shot accidentally by one of his neighbors while they were hunting deer. Seth lived for a time in Easthampton, and was the father of E.T. Wood, who now resides in Northampton. Stephen married Jemima, daughter of Obadiah Clark, by whom he had four children, Gaius, Stephen, Jemima and Mary. He afterwards married Sally Braman. Their children were Ezekiel, Enoch. E., Newton, S. Chapin, and Sarah. These last mentioned all live in this town, excepting Ezekiel, who died her recently.
Stephen Wood d. Easthampton Oct. 10, 1854 age 80 yrs. 3 ms 3 days, farmer born Easthampton, buried East St. Cemetary Easthampton.
Sally Braman Wood d. Easthampton April 13, 1881 age 82 yrs. 3 ms 10 days, born Southampton, father Oerial Braman (hard to read), buried East St. Cemetary Easthampton.
Their son Ezekiel d. Easthampton Dec. 28, 1864 age 41 yrs 11 ms 12 days farmer, parents both born Easthampton.
Their daughter Sarah d. Easthampton June 17, 1886 age 51 yrs 10 ma, single.
Their son Enoch E. Wood d. Easthampton Jan. 16 1908, 82 yrs 6 ms., Civil War vet.
Their son Spencer Chapin Wood d. East Longmeadow, Ma. Jan 25, 1914, age 81, also Civil War vet.
Their son Newton Wood d.Springfield Aug 18, 1914, age 85, also Civil War vet.
Enoch, Spencer Chapin and Newton received very nice, long obits in local paper. SpencerChapin also received long write-up on his golden wedding anniversary, accompanied by photos of him and his wife. Can post these (not photos though) if anyone is interested. Very interesting family.
Note that Stephen Wood's daughters from his first marriage married two of Uzziel Braman's sons. Daniel Braman m. Jemima Wood, m. intention Easthampton Dec. 27, 1827. Roswell Braman m. Mary A. Wood, m. intention Easthampton Jan 31, 1828.
