  • Notes 
    • Oscar B. Robbins' book, pg 18 states that Mary Burwell Jackson died 5 Mar 1867 but the 1880 census appears to prove that is an error. Mary B. Wood is recorded living with her family in Dover, Morris Co., NJ in 1880. See her obit below.

      Note received 9 Sep 2009, from Anthony L. Troha, Ph.D. of the Canal Society of New Jersey:
      Mary Burwell Jackson Wood's original obituary can be found at http://rtlibrary.org/iron_era/1899/1899-08-25.pdf , but it is difficult to read, so I have transcribed it for you:

      Obituary of Mrs. Mary Burwell Wood née Jackson
      from "The Iron Era" of Friday, August 25, 1899 (Volume XXIX, Number 40, Page 4, Column 2) published in Dover, Morris County, New Jersey

      Wood - In Orange, N. J., at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Albridge C. Smith, on Wednesday, August 23, 1899, Mrs. Freeman Wood, widow of Judge Freeman Wood. Funeral services will be held at No. (illegible) Lincoln avenue, Orange, at 1 o'clock p.m. Saturday, August 26. Interment in Rockaway on arrival of 2 o'clock train from New York.
      --------
      "Wood
      The many Dover friends of Mrs. Mary B. Wood, widow of the late Judge Freeman Wood, will regret to learn of her death which took place on Wednesday night of this week at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Albridge C. Smith, in Orange. Mrs. Wood was born at Rockaway on August 3, 1812 and was married there in 1831. She was the daughter of William Jackson and Susan D. Halsey Jackson and spent the most of her life in this vicinity. She was for many years a member of the Dover Presbyterian Church. Judge Wood took up his residence here in the Spring of 1872 and since his death in 1891, Mrs. Wood made Dover her home until last fall when on account of her advanced age she went to Orange to live with her daughter. The funeral services will be held at [address illegible; it may say "318"] Lincoln avenue, Orange, on Saturday at 1 p.m. Interment will be made in Rockaway Cemetery at 4 p.m."
