Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Kent, Ontario, J.H.Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, p. 770-771:
J. CHANDLER WOOD owns and operates a fine property in Oxford township, consisting of 100 acres in Lot 60, N.T.R. to which he came in the spring of 1902, from Morpeth, Howard township, where he was born Oct. 7, 1840. Mr. Wood is a son of Pontas and Dorcas (Cull) Wood, of the County of Kent, where they spent their lives, the father dying in 1891, aged eighty-five years, and the mother in 1893, aged seventy-one years. Both were members of the Church of England. They are interred in the Morpeth Cemetery. The father was a farmer and made a success of his work. The children born to them were: Nancy, of Windsor Ontario, the widow of David Bell; Mary of London, Ont., widow of David Smith; John, deceased; Martin, of Saginaw, Michigan; J. Chandler; and Margaret, who died in Detroit, Michigan, the wife of William White.
     In 1873, at Ridgetown, Ont., J. Chandler Wood married Catherine Hall, and children as follows have been born to them: Pontas, died unmarried at the age of thirty-two years; Mary A., married Rastus Hoffman, of Howard township; Winat W., Ammond W., and J. Sherman are at home. Mrs. Wood was born in Howard township Mary 20, 1846, a daughter of Titus and Hannah (Wood) Hall, of Nova Scotia and Pennsylvania, respectively, who were married in the County of Kent, where they spent their lives. Mr. Hall came hither with his sister and brother-in-law, Robert Walters, when but thirteen years of age, and located in Howard township, where his life was spent; he was a farmer by occupation. His death took place Jan. 10, 1897, when he was seventy-eight years of age, and he is buried in the Morpeth cemetery, in Howard township. The mother is living and makes her home with Mr. Wood. Although advanced in years, having been born Nov. 1, 1820, she is quite active, and a valued member of the household. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Hall were: William, deceased; Elizabeth A., of Petrolia, who married W. A. D. Frazer; Catherine; Jacob, deceased; Rev. Robert, a Methodist preacher of Michigan; Rev. Alfred, a farmer and preacher in Michigan; Titus, who is farming with Alfred; Edmond, a thresher, of Morpeth; John, a railroad yardmaster at Durand, Michigan; Martin, deceased; Phoebe, deceased wife of Sylvester Whitzel; and Matilda, of Flint, Michigan, widow of George Pigeon.
     Mr. Wood lived with his parents until his marriage, when he took his bride to a farm in Howard township, and there remained until he purchased his present property. His farm is one of the most desirable in the township, and as he is a good manager his premises are kept in excellent condition. Fraternally, Mr. Wood is a member of the A.O.U.W. He attends the services of the Church of England, and in politics is a Conservative. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wood are very highly esteemed in the neighborhood and have many friends, though they are comparative newcomers in Oxford.
