"Joseph Wood probably born about 1680, son of William & Martha (Earle) Wood.. Joseph was a minor over 14 years in 1697 when he chose his uncle David Lake as his guardian. In the autumn of 1701 he was granted his patrimony and he at once engaged in land deals."[1]
Joseph possibly removed to Hempstead, Long Island in 1708.
"Bertha Clark left a note stating that for the present three children of William Wood were left unfinished. Her note is "I think I shall be able to show that Joseph removed to East Jersey and died there." "
