Thursday, September 6, 1962, Goldsboro, North Carolina. John Robert Hood was the son of Britton hood, whose own home considerably enlarged - is still standing on Highway 13, just across Horse Swamp from the son's home. The Britton Hood Home, originally containing two rooms, was removed from across the highway by his son, Daniel T. Hood,who inherited his father's homeplace, consisting of 1,000 acres. Daniel, who was a noted fox hunter, added a wing to the house. He was a Baptist preacher and the father of W. Graham Hood of Goldsboro. Daniel T. Hood and his wife, Temperance Best Hood, had six children, including Daniel J. Hood retired attorney of Buice Creek, Another son, William Henry Hood was the Grandfather of County Dog Warden Horace Hood and the father of Dr. Marshall H. Hood, an eye, ear, and nose specialist of Portsmouth, Va. William Henry Hood was the first husband of Sara Jinnette, whose daughter by a second marriage, Mrs. Effie Parker, is historian of the Daniel T. Hood clan. Billy Hood of Goldsboro is current president of the clan which meets annually on the second Sunday in September. The original Britton Hood home was weatherboarded, suggesting that it was built later later than the log home of his son, John Robert Sr. -- possibly at the time of his second marriage to Katherine Cox, by who he had one child, Daniel T. Hood. He had first married a Sullivan. It is thought likely that Britton Hood built and perhaps lived in the John Robert Hood home, which could be over 150 years old. Copied
