John WOOD Sr.'s orphans drew a lot in 1832 GA Land Lottery while living in Brocks Dist., Hall Co., GA. Several of her older sons, also drew lots in 1832 Hall Co.

Mrs. Nancy WOOD b. 1772 GA re-married to Isaac DALRYMPLE, her dtr-in-laws' father, on Sept 22, 1836 Lumpkin Co., GA.  They are found living in 1840 Lumpkin Co., GA with her son, John S. WOOD, Jr., next door.  Lazarus WOOD who married Isaac's dtr, Rebecca DALRYMPLE, is living in Habersham Co. in 1840.  Isaac DALRYMPLE apparently died 1846-1850 Lumpkin Co., GA.

In 1846 Isaac is mentioned as having sold his Hall Co., GA land to Echo THACKER as follows:
"land that Bethlehem Meeting House stands on known by Number Eight in the ninth district of Hall, Land identified by deed made by Isaac Dalaymples". This land was bequethed to Echo's wife, Margaret. Date Will was written was 2/3/1846 [Source: Wills and Deeds of Hall Co., GA transcribed by Robert H. and Barbara E. McDonald, 2002, Wolfe Publishing, Fernandina Beach, FL ISBN: 1883793-50-5]

Mrs. Nancy WOOD- DALRYMPLE is still in Lumpkin Co. for 1850 census, living in the Jeremiah "Jerry" and Margaret PAYNE household.  Jeremiah was born 1808 SC.  I have yet to find a marriage record for Jerry & Margaret to know if they were kin of Nancy's or not.  Nancy is not found in Lumpkin Co. for the 1860 census nor another marriage record for her.  It is presumed Nancy died 1851-1860.

We have mtDNA test results HVR1 and HVR2 on file at FamilyTreeDNA and mitosearch and go up her female-only direct line to Dicey WOOD and thus, Mrs. Nancy WOOD-DALRYMPLE.  It can be used in the future to help determine if Nancy was the only wife of John Storey WOOD, Sr.  Also, there has also been some confusion as to whether Mrs. Sarah BRUCE was a HOOD or a WOOD because of different transcribed versions of the Habersham Co., GA marriage records.  Dicey's mtDNA would help resolve this confusion if one of Sarah's direct female descendants wants to be tested.
