VIRGINIA, Hanover County: Wood (1832-1863)

Leigh does not blog about her family's history but among her genealogy papers is the document below, which lists the names of several people who were born into slavery and belonged to Henry H. Wood of Hanover County, Virginia. The birth dates were recorded between 1832 to 1863 and appear to be written by at least two different people.
