Hi Gayle,
According to his naturalization documents, William Jason Wood arrived in New on
or about the 10th day of January 1844, became a citizen
under the same name on the first of March, 1853 in the Justice of the Police
Court for who he worked.
His marriage certificate reads (on Nov 11, 1855) that his fathers name was
Janets (think is probably Jacento and his mothers name
was Gacia (could be Garcia). his Wife Christiana Omelin (could be Amelia)
father was John P. Ignacio.
William was from Faial and Christiana was from Pico. In the book by Roddy
titled Mills, Mansions, And Mergers, they speculate that his name
could be Jacinto, Madeira or Silva - they also state that Christiana's father
was Charles Madison and her mother was Christiana Amelia Dutra.
So you see where the name Guilherme(William) Medeiros Silva came from. The
book has several inconsistencies
He had various jobs and died on August 21, 1870, his occupation was laborer
Hope this helps
Sincerely, Carol

Carol,
You have perplexed me without intending to do so. Your William Wood is not
listed in the two volume book on the Portuguese of Martha's Vineyard. Yet, you
said the family lived for a time in Edgartown.
I did find a Wiki article on his son William Madison Wood which seems to give
an alternate name for his father. If interested just google the son's name then
read the paragraph on his early life.
Good luck with your search.
Gayle

bedford. Later was moved by his son William M Wood (the Woolen Mill King).
I am e-mailing you their marriage record, altho in the records she is know
as Amelia Christiana born Pico on Dec 25, 1838,

born in Fayal

naturalization record. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Joao Ventura is helping me with Mrs. William J. Wood from Pico Thank
You,
