"Stephen Wood took the Oath of Allegiance before Elisha WIlliams on March 2, 1998, and enlisted as a private in the 6th Co., Upper Battalion, Maryland Militia on August 30, 1777."
From the Browning Genealogy by John Perry and Thomas Orville Browning ca. 1904:
"They came to Illinois with their children about the year 1832 and made there home with Thomas and Macksey (Wood) Poindexter (their 4th daughter) about a half mile South of Woodville, Greene County, lived in a small house very near and kept house alone. They had their own garden, cow and chickens. He had been a practical surveyor and having no clock he arranged a compass or sundial in his yard to tell the time of day. He was very ingenious to make conveniences for his home. They lived to be very old. They were moved to the home of Amon Wood, their son, in the Winter of 1834 (December) and only lived about a year. They were buried in Woodville Twp., IL.
He was buried with a wooden marker in a now abandoned cemetery in Woodville Twp. Since the marker had been lost and the cemetery closed, I applied to the Veterans' Administration and had an official government tombstone made. With the assistance of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution and the cemetery sexton at the Carrollton, IL cemetery, I was able to have his grave marked in perpetuity. It seemed fitting for an old patriot to be remembered."
