Joseph Wood

WOOD, Joseph, patriot, born in Pennsylvania: died in Sunbury, Georgia, in 1789. During the early part of the Revolutionary war he saw service with the 2d Pennsylvania regiment and rose to the rank of colonel. In 1776 he was on duty in Canada. Toward the close of that year he removed to Georgia and settled in St. John's parish (afterward Liberty county), where he became a planter and was elected a member of the council of safety. In 1777-'9 Colonel Wood represented Georgia in the Continental congress, for which he was placed on the list of citizens that were disqualified by act of the Tory general assembly of the state on 6 July, 1780, during the British occupation. In this document he is stigmatized as a " member of the rebel congress." Colonel Wood was a man of unblemished character and held in high esteem by his fellow-citizens.
