Daniel, son of Samuel Wood 2nd, died at Danbury December 1, 1808, upon which day
his will is dated. His wife Mary was born in 1725 and died October 25, 1805. Her surname
is not known. He owned a large farm at Long Ridge, Danbury, adjoining and immediately
north of that of his brother Lemuel. The house in which he lived, built, probably, previous
to 1750, is still standing. In 1789 he enlarged the original building for the occupancy of his
only son, Daniel, Jr., giving him title to the addition with the ground upon which it stood.
The house is now (1896) occupied by one of his descendants. He kept an old time tavern at
this place, which was on one of the roads leading from New York to Boston, and in the line
of travel from Norwalk to Danbury, and he was always styled Landlord Wood. The Dan-
bury Congregational Church records show himself and wife to have been members of that
body, and record the death of two children. The children are mentioned in his will. He
and his wife are buried in the cemetery west of the county jail in Danbury, Conn. The
children were :
Mary, born in 1747, spinster, died May 4, 1812 ;
Hannah, born in 1748, married Justus Hoyt, of Pembrook, and died April 15, 1832;
Anna, born November 24, 1749, married, September 5, 1786, Colonel Ashael Salmon
of Redding, an officer of the Revolutionary War;
Daniel, born in 1752 ;
Sarah, married Abel Burr;
Thankful, married Noah Munrow, son of Noah and Deborah of Sharon, Conn.
