Biography

Mountain Echo Newspaper - Marion County, AR July 25, 1929 A Series of Articles Written by W. R. Jones “Some History of Marion County” Charity, daughter of Judge Wood, married an own cousin, James Wood, sometimes called "Limber Jim" Wood. This James was son of Pioneer James Wood, sometimes known as "Rosin the Bow" Wood, brother to Judge William. Rosin came to Marion county a little ahead of the others of his family, "to spy out the nakedness of the land". The writer was fortunate enough to find, at Olvey, a living son of Charity and James Wood. His name is William Wood, but he is known as "Barnett" Wood, to distinguish him from the numerous Bill Woods. "Barnett" could remember his grandfather, Judge William Wood, his mother's father, and his grandmother, Hannah Wood. Also all their children, John, "Obe", George, Betsey, Solomon, Jeff, and of course, his own mother. He is 85, hale and hearty, his mind active and bright. Makes one wonder if a marriage of cousins is as dangerous for their posterity as is generally believed.

"Barnett" says the children of his father and mother, Charity, were: "Obe", married Ellen Casey, sister to Uncle Jasper Casey; William, married Eliza Jane Abels; Margaret, married Thos. Maddon; George, married Paralee Wills; John, married Nettie Woodmore; Jeff, married Nettie Wright; James, married Nina Woodmore; Hannah and Elizabeth never married.
