RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Willliam J Wood
Eric,, I have the the William Madison Wood article from the Wikipedia==On the death record, he died 21 Aug, 1870, he was a laborer estimated year of birth 1827. On his naturalization papers, March , 1853 - he states that he arrived in New Bedford aboard the Bark Matha on Jan 10, 1844 and had been a resident for more than 5 years. And he now is 23 years of age. The book Mills, Mansions, and Mergers by Edward G. Roddy has William J born Oct 6, 1827 states various journalists that his name was Jacinto, Madeira or Silva. The book also states the legend if Captain Henry Pease Brought the frail, slender mariner from Pico in the 1950's aboard the whaler Champion. Can't find where Capt. Pease was ever captain of the Champion. Lots of info, but a lot conflicting. I like your portuguese newspaper article. A Lot has been written about his son William Madison Wood (my grandfather was John Madison wood - the black sheep of the family I think) otherwise I'm not sure we would have any leads. I can't find Santa Maria on Neps- am I looking in the right place.? Again my sincerest thanks for all the information - please keep looking.

[AZORES-Genealogy] William Jason Wood (AKA)
Hi all, I have been searching for William Jason Wood for 8 years - Joao Ventura has searched for his wife for me to no avail. I think I may have found something, but don't know how to proceed - According to his Naturalization (March 5, 1853)) he arrived in New Bedford aboard the Bark Martha on or about Jan 10, 1844(?) from Fayal- His birthday is October 5, 1830. On His marriage certificate (1855) he has the same birthday Oct 5, 1830 and lists his parents names as Jacento and Gacia In searching in neps, I found on Madalena the following Antonio Rosa Garcia 1791-1848 Maria Jacinta 1791-1872 11 children one of which was named Andre born 1829. On the Bark Martha which left new bedford on 8/3/1844 there is a Greenhand sailor picked up on Pico Azores 8/29/1844 his name is ANT GAREIA. All too close (I think) I really feel that this may me him, but don't know who to tie eveything together. All of his records are for Willialm J Wood except the Martha's record and the marriage record. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] help offer
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 - Original Message - From: Gayle Machado To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 17:42 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] help offer 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.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Willialm Wood
Found all my info was wrong- just found copy of Marriage license from Boston dated nov 11, 1855. Male was William J. Wood age 25 father name JANETS mother name GACIA Femal Christiana Omillin (think is was Amelia) age 18 father name John P. Ignacio. Milliam J. Wood became a citizen in County of Bristol in Ma. on March 1853 stating that he was born in Fayall in the Azores on Oct. 5, 1830. Also states he arrived in Fairhaven in the county of Bristol on or about Jan 10, 1844. Manuel Francis attest to knowing William as he arrived in ship Northern in the year 1844, he was 15 years when he first arrived. This is totally different than the infor that I got from the book by Roddy, Mills, Mansions, and Mergers. Christiana's family is totally wrong. My grandfather John Madison Wood was born in Edgertown on June 22, 1859, (the 3rd child), His father listed as Wm Wood a Laborer from Pico, W.I. - his mother was listed as Grace A. Wood Pace of birth Pico W.I. Also wrong info from Wikipedia about William Madison Wood, stating the father was William Sr. AKA Guilhermie Medeiros Silva and was a crew man on a whaling ship from 1853 until his death in 1871 - Census states different. I have e-mail Joao for help, have not heard from him yet - anybody who might be researching these NEW names, please let me know.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Silva from Pico
Hi Lynn, It would indeed be great if that was true - I just found the name Guilherme about 4 weeks ago and was on yahoo, until then nobody knew his real name - so I am hoping this is true. My only hope for discovery is his marriage to the daughter of Christiana de Luna and Carlos Matson ( of those names I am sure) They were married sometime between 1850 and 1853 inhPortugal.
