     He was a witness David Wood, Sr. was the youngest of four sons of John Wood, Sr., who died in Derry Township, Mifflin County, PA, shortly before March 8, 1799, and his wife (name unknown), who was living at that time and probably after the probate of her late husband's estate in 1803. Although David's birthplace in 1764 is unknown, his son Joseph Wood's obituary in the Clermont Sun of November 7, 1877 states that his father was "raised in Pennsylvania." This tallies with the record of the Order of Survey #5012 granted to John Wood on 31 May 1768 for 80 acres in Derry Township then in Cumberland County, PA, later Mifflin County, PA. Nothing is known of David's life until his Revolutionary War service in the 7th Virginia Regiment. After the War he appears to have settled for a time in Frederick County, where he met and married LOUISA SMITH/SCHMIDT on February 15, 1793.

David Wood, Sr., his wife Louisa, and at least two children, Elizabeth and Mary Wood, joined the Wood-Manning migratory group in Mason County, KY ca. 1795-6, where he is of record in the tax list of 1796 with 1 male aged over 21 years, 3 horses and 5 cows. The interrelated group consisted basically of the married sons and daughters of two Pennsylvania settlers of the middle 1700's, John Wood, Sr. of Beaver and Penn's Townships, Northumberland County and Derry Township in Cumberland County, later Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and his friend and sometime neighbor, Nathan or Nathaniel Manning of Beaver and Penn's Townships, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania with wife Jane. Nathan Manning outlived his friend, John Wood, Sr. by nine years and lived to see his large family settled in Clermont County, OH, where he died August, 1808.

Among the group of settlers were John Wood, Jr and wife Margaret, Jeriah and Mary (Manning) Wood, John and Elizabeth (Wood) Manning, Joshua and Martha (Wood) Manning, and bachelor Nathan Manning, Jr.

John Wood, Jr had been the first known of the family to settle in Mason County, KY ca. 1792/3, where he was of record on tax lists from 1793-97. The John and Joshua Manning families of record in Mason County in the 1795-1797 tax lists had joined John Wood, Jr. in Mason County ca. 1794/5. The Jeriah Wood family appears on the Mason County tax lists of 1796 and 1797.

The Wood and Manning family group crossed the Ohio River and established a fortified "station" or stockaded settlement similar to those along the frontier in Kentucky in the Virginia Military District near Big Indian Creek on land actually owned by Thomas Buckner (Survey #1087) in the southern area of the Northwest Territory, later Clermont County, Ohio. There they built rough log cabins enclosed by a fortified stockade. The settlement called "Wood and Manning's Station" was near a free flowing spring still visible today west of Collier Road in Washington Township, a mile east of Calvary Methodist Church on Route 756.

In the early 1800's according to the research of Richard Scamyhorn and John Steinle (Stockades in the Wilderness) and noted genealogist, Patricia Donaldson, an expert on this area and its settlers, the Deputy Surveyor for the Virginia Military District, Nathaniel Massie, asserted the legal ownership of the Buckner Survey to remove the Woods and Mannings from what was actually a "squatter" settlement. Shortly thereafter, the various Wood and Manning families received title to other nearby lands to compensate them for improvements made on the Buckner tract. [Mifflin Co., PA will Bk.
