<DIV><SPAN class=452525813-04102005>I was able to get a copy of my
g.grandfathers naturalization papers but not his death cert. I think
he had to become a citizen inorder to purchase land. Also, in Wilsonville,
there is a middle school, Inza R. Wood Middle School and Aunt Inza is my great
Aunt. So, we plan on visiting the school. John Nelson Wood was her
father-in-law.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=452525813-04102005>I have contacted the town Historian and gave
him some information and hopefully he can help me. My sister and I want to
find the old Wood homestead. All in all, it will be fun to see the land
and area that our ancestors lived in. John N. Wood moved his family to
Oregon from Nova Scotia. Over in Nova Scotia, they have some information
on him but I need help in Oregon to match him up with Woods over
there.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Make sure you swing by the State Archives in Salem:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>John N Woods, filed for naturalization in Clackamas County,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See Clackamas county vol. 1 page 003 and vol. 1 page 146.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, Pleasant Hill cemetery is in between Wilsonville and
Sherwood.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you get a chance stop by Wilsonville's city hall and see if you can
get</DIV>
<DIV>an interview with the Mayor, she is related to the Grahams of Graham's
ferry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Clackamas County courthouse in Oregon City is also helpful and
could help you with</DIV>
<DIV>land records to find out when his property was sold and to whom.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>
