Biography

Letter to Gail Hood Helmer from her "Uncle Olah":

"This Nathaniel Hood built a house in 1746 by a pond which is now called Hood's Pond. This house remained in possession of the Hood descendants until quite recently. I have visited this house in Topsfield. At the time I was there for the first time, the house stood on its original site but has since been moved to a new location and renovated by its new owners. The house had the original gunstock supports in the corners of the rooms and in an open chamber, twigs still remained on the branches used to support the roof."
