There is confusion concerning two individuals: Bazel (Bazzel or Bazeal) G. Wood and Brazil (Brazilla) Wood. Herein lies the confusion, The History of Clermont Co. [Ohio] 1888, Page 363 stated: "David Wood [Sr.], the second of the brothers [sons of John Wood Sr.], died on the Smith survey, at the age of eighty-four years. His children were . . . Bazel G. died at Vicksburg, Miss. . . ."

I believe that the following statements are probably correct:

My reasoning is outlined below.

If we believe the History of Clermont Co., 1888, [Ohio] David Wood Sr.'s wife, Louisa Smith Wood, would have to have been 76 years old when Bazel was born or 63 when Brazil was born. The Basil born possibly born in 1817 is a possible son, however I found no record of David Wood Sr. having a child with this or a similar name, or of them living in Indiana.

BAZEL G. WOOD was born in Clermont Co. Ohio around 1849 according to 1850 and 1860 US Census reports. He is shown living with Joseph and Margaret (Bennett) Wood and NOT David and Louisa Wood. This would imply that he is Joseph's and Margaret's son (but the Census reports for those years do not list relationships). The spelling of his name varies slightly but was always spelled starting with "Ba" and never "Bra". Bazel married Lydia McGohan in 1878. They had three sons (who all died young). He died and was buried in Clermont Co. Ohio in 1904. I found no mention of Civil War service or a link to Indiana.

Another BASIL G. WOOD is mentioned in the 30 March 1838 Clermont Courier newspaper as having a letter at the Bethel Post Office. There is also a mention in the same newspaper on 19 Aug. 1843 page 63 "At Vicksburg, Miss., on the 21st July, Mr. Basil G. Wood, formerly of this county, in the 26th of his age."

BRAZIL (BRAZILLA) WOOD was born in Indiana around 1833 according to the 1860 US Census. At the time of that Census he was married to Mary Ann Stotts and they had two children. I believe that his father was Robert Wood who moved from North Carolina to Indiana. Robert had married Tabitha Field in 1809. In 1835 when Brazil was around 2, his mother died and his father married Abigail Coleman a short time later. Then his father Robert died of typhoid fever in 1849 leaving Abigail with a number of young children. Again, the spelling of his given name changes slightly but is always spelled starting in "Bra" and never "Ba". In the 1860 US Census, Abigail and Brazilla are found living next to each other reinforcing the relationship that she was his stepmother. In 1862 Brazilla G Wood enlisted in the Union Army and then dies in 1863 near Vicksburg MS during the Civil War. Pension papers were filled for his wife Mary and son Robert H. to collect a pension for Brazil's service. While I do not currently have copies of them, I found nothing linking Brazil to Clermont Co. Ohio. However, I do not have firm proof of Brazil Wood's parents or his location prior to 1860.
