JANETTE W. WOOD, wife of the late Milton Wood, one of the first settlers in the present township of Salt Fork, was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1806, and lived there until her marriage. Her maiden name was Miss Janette W. Field, and with her husband came to Saline county at an early day. Mrs. Wood has had thirteen children, twelve of whom were reared to maturity: William F., John S., Robert C., Erasmus D., James F., Mrs. Pauline Herron, of Salem, Illinois; Mrs. Sallie A. Huston, Mrs. Anna Minor, Joseph F., Thomas B., Mrs. Lucy Mitchell, and Charles; of these boys, one is in California; three are in Arizona; one in Montana, and three in Saline county. Mr. Milton Wood died in 1859, leaving Mrs. Wood with the care of a large family, the eldest son at home, being then but fifteen years old. At this time, she moved to Arrow Rock with her family, for a few years, but has always kept up the old home place, upon which she now lives. Mrs. Wood had a great deal of trouble during the war, and in 1864, lost her eyesight. She has been a member of the Baptist Church for a great many years; membership at Zoar. Her third son, Colonel Robert Wood, has had an eventful career in life. In 1847, he went to Santa Fe, and on to Chetmahua, setting up a store, but was run out by the Mexicans. Went to California, spent several years fighting Indians with Kit Carson. Joined Crabbe's filibustering expedition to Sonora, but when Crabbe surrendered, escaped with twenty-eight men, and through many hardships went back to California, where he was greatly lionized for his escape. Crabbe with all the men surrendered, having been shot. Suffering from rheumatism he came to Hot Springs, Arkansas, about the beginning of the war. In 1861, joined Price as aide, and was soon after given command of a regiment, and was in all the battles of the war west of the river. Two brothers, Thomas and Edward, joined his command in 1863 and 1864. James F. was at the Booneville stampede at the age of sixteen; was at Lexington, and captured at Blackwater; was released on oath in St. Louis, and went north until 1865."

SUTPHIN (3 Oct 1825 Scott Co., KY - 8 Apr 1896 Higginsville, Lafayette Co., MO). [This is Bonnie Graham's line.] Cousin Bonnie Graham says, "There is some confusion as to where Francis and Sarah got married. A SUTPHIN researcher has suggested that they may have been married in Missouri, as Sarah's father, Issac S. SUTPHIN was living in Rives County, Missouri when the 1840 census was taken. "In the 1850 Scott County, Kentucky census a seven-year-old male child born in Missouri, and named "Rodes," is living with Francis and Sarah. It is not known if this child is Sarah's or not. Because of this child's birth date (abt 1843) it is probable that Francis was married to another woman before he married Sarah but no records about this child have ever been found." Cousin Corey Grua says, "The documents I've been looking at are Henry Co., MO circuit court records from the county seat of Clinton. Francis is found as plaintiff in three different lawsuits in these two volumes running from 1835 to 1858...a John Field is found in one suit...Francis was probably living with his brother James W. before he got married." Francis was the administrator of their mother's estate. His brother, James W. Field, was administrator of their father's estate. Both parents died intestate.
