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,

proof in other documents that Nathanial and several other's were listed

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.comIn FamilySearch Family Tree Nathaniel Hood who married Sarah is listed as a son of
Pennsylvania, Marriage Records, 1700-1821
Name: Nathaniel Hood
Marriage Date: 25 Nov 1768
Marriage Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Spouse's Name: Sarah Young

Nov. 25, 1768, Hood, Nathaniel, and Sarah Young
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 |
