Letter from Monmouth - Monmouth, IA, Dec. 3, 1883
An other old pioneer gone the way of the departed. Uncile Tommy Woods, near Nashville, dies of typhoid fever Sunday evening. He was buried after 2 Dec 1883 in Buckhorn Cemetery, Jackson Co., Iowa. Lot. 136. History of Jackson County Iowa by Hon. James W. Ellis, Vol. I

page 568: Indiana.
The nearest approach to a colony we find from Indiana are from Hendricks, Putnam and Morgan counties, near Indianapolis. They begin with the Flathers brothers--Edward, Thos. S., Willis, and William, in 1842; Joseph Anderson, 1848; Jesse Ellis, 1852; and William Ellis.
They all came from the same neighborhood in Hendricks county, were all related; and had all come from Kentucky to Indiana. George Roush and family, 1854, from Wabash county, and John Woods, in 1850, from Rush county. The latter's brother, Colonel Joseph Jackson Wood, a West Point graduate, came here in 1853, after his resignation from the regular army.

page 65:
David Scott came from Kentuky to what is now Monmouth township, Jackson county, Iowa, in 1836, in company with James Redden, Joshua Beer, Jospeh Skinner, Calvin Perkins, Z. and Xenophon Perkins, Thomas Wood and a family of Pingrys, of whom I can learn nothing about. They crossed the Wapsie on a raft, July 4, 1836, and that evening camped on the south bank of the Maquoketa, near what has always been known as Morehead's Ford.

page 64:
Those who came to Jackson county in 1836 by way of Clark's Ferry at Buffalo and followed the Clark trail north, with two exceptions, settled in what became Monmouth township. Those two, James Redden and Thomas Wood, settled along what beame the west line of South Fork township, Redden on the northwest corner of section 19, near where the present house of D. F. Scheib is situated. He was a brother-in-law of Samuel Scheib, and I believe came from Pennsylvania. His children were James, John, Stephen, Larkin and Anna Redden-Cook. Thomas Wood settled on the southwest quarter of the same section on the east side of quarter section line, east of west line, and about twenty rods south of where now is the Maquoketa and Anamosa road.

page 63:
There he built his first cabin. He built later where the Allison house is now. He was a native of Kentucky and came to Iowa, then Michigan Terrirory, from southern Indiana. Here he lived, raised six children--John, Joseph, Manurvey, Anna, Mary and one I have forgotten--and died at an old age and always respected. He came here single and on a trip back to Indiana became acquainted with a young girl who was wholly depending on herself for support. Wood told her he had a cabin and a claim out in the western wilds and if she would marry him he would give her a home such as it was. The offer was accepted and a pioneer life commenced. They were always known in later years as "Aunt Sophia and uncle Tommy."
