Also sent to WOOD list but reposting here:


here is another early John Wood in Leeds
area:

From Glenn J. Lockwood's "KITLEY 1795-1975" (St. Lawrence printing Company ,
Prescott, ON, 1974)
page 30:
Lot 24 of the 9th concession was granted by the Crown to John WOOD on the
19th of Sept 1805. Woods[sic] sold the lot to David DICKSON in 1812, who
sold the north half to George PRATT in 1815, who in turn sold the
north-quarter of this half lot to David D. CORNELL in 1817. ...[no more
WOOD name on lot]

page 9: from a 1798 census by Abel STEVENS for Kitley:
John WOOD Lot 24 Con. 9 On the lot with his family.

"from pioneer papers for Kitley Township in the Provincial Archives of
Ontario", says Lockwood:
page 40: "John Woods, a United Empire Loyalist, came to Kitley at an early
date. Mr. Woods was the father of David Woods who is believed to have been
the second settler at Frankville. David married a daughter of William Brown
by whom he had three children." [No relation to my husband's Browns.]

And page 42 on The War of 1812:
"The following list is comprsied of the names of men who were rateable
inhabitants of Kitley in the 1814 Assessments and are also listed as
belonging to Captain Duncan Livingston's Company of the Leeds 2nd Regiment
Militia on the 29th January, 1814:
[included] John Woods and David Woods[sic].

That appears to be all on early WOOD name in Kitley. A Cyrus Albert WOOD,
Jr, born 1871, son of Cyrus Albert and Amelia EATON who lived in Toledo,
Kitley Twp, ON and was a noted musician and composer is mentioned on pps
305-306 with picture.
