(work in progress) |
Wayne Hood who gave me the
information
about Nathaniel Hood serving in the
revolutionary
war, also gave me a lot more about Nathaniel Hood. Such as who
his
parents are and
who is most likely his grandfather. For now let's go over who
is the
father
of our Nathaniel Hood who married Elizabeth.
In the link I
provided that is listed on the left, "Nathaniel Hood Facts and Theory"
a possible
father of our Nathaniel Hood is considered. His name was
also Nathaniel Hood
and his wife
was Sarah. Our Nathaniel is not listed but a connection
has been made.
Here
is his will:

Only three of his children are listed, Amelia,
Sarah and Henry. However there is
proof in other documents that Nathanial and several other's were listed
as his children.
Here is part of an original document that
Wayne Hood found. That is not online.

The names of all
sponsors at christenings are shown.
These names are very
important as
Grandparents, Uncles. Aunts and Cousins were usually Godparents.
You can see
for
yourself that all of the children including our
Nathaniel are listed.
Nathaniel is
also listed here below:Virginia
Births and Christenings, 1853-1917 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRPL-6RV Name Nathanael Hood Gender Male Christening Date 24 Apr 1743 Christening Place ALBEMARLE PARISH,SURRY,VIRGINIA Birth Date 03 Mar 1742 Father's Name Nathaniel Hood Mother's Name Sarah
I have found Birth's and Christening's for all the
children except for Frances but
because of space I will not be showing them. All of the children's
birth places are shown
by their birth record to be in Albamarle Parish, Surry,
Virginia.
In FamilySearch & possibly other places Nathaniel Hood's
parents were listed as
Nathaniel Hood and Sarah "Young". At least in FamilySearch Family Tree
until I changed
it and added sources why her last name could not be
"Young". Yes Sarah is her name but
her last name could not be "Young" as
our Nathaniel Hood who was the son of Nathaniel
Hood and Sarah was born in 24 Apr
1742. Nathaniel Hood and Sarah "Young" were
married in 1768. That Nathaniel may have been close to
the same age as our Nathaniel.
Here is the
source
for the marriage of Nathaniel Hood
and Sarah Young:
Ancestry.com Pennsylvania, Marriage Records, 1700-1821 Name: Nathaniel Hood Marriage Date: 25 Nov 1768 Marriage Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Spouse's Name: Sarah Young
http://www.archive.org/ PENNSYLVANIA ARCHIVES Published under direction of Matthew S. Quay. Secretary of the Commonwealth. Edited by John B. Linn and Wm. H.EGLE, M.D. VOL. IX HARRISBURG: Lane S. Hart, State Printer. 1880 BODLEAN 5-10-1895 LIBRARY RECORD OF PENNSYLVANIA MARRIAGES PRIOR TO 1810. Page 90 (n102) Nov. 25, 1768, Hood, Nathaniel, and Sarah Young
In FamilySearch
Family Tree Nathaniel Hood who married Sarah is listed as a son of
Nathaniel
Hood
and Joanna Dwinnell. There is no source or evidence for
this. That family
lived in
Massachusetts.
Copied from
Did
Nathaniel Hood marry Elizabeth Palmer?
Their first son
was named Nathan and their second son
was named Nathaniel. There is no
birth given for either of these two sons. Nathan married
Elizabeth Palmer 6 March 1731,
at Rowley, Mass.... None of their children were named Bold
Robin or Britton.....
The son
Nathaniel
was not even included in the genealogy
of.......
John Hood of Lynn Mass.and some of his
descendents
That
leaves us with; "Just who is the father of Nathaniel Hood who married
Sarah?"
He was
probably
Thomas Hood whose Will was dated Apr 7, 1764
