Hood Lineage, Holsted, England to America 

John Hood was born in 1600 in Holsted, England, and came to Cambridge, 
Massachusetts in 1638. He had a son, Richard, who was born in 1625, and 
was brought to America as a child. He grew up in Massachusetts and 
married Mary Newhall. To Richard and Mary were born thirteen children. 
  
Their fourth Child, a son, named Nathaniel Hood I, was born in 1675. 
Nathaniel married Joanna Devinell October 16, 1706, and to them were 
born seven children. Nathaniel Hood I died in 1748. 
  
The second child of Nathaniel and Joanna was born about 1710. He was 
named for his father Nathaniel Hood II, and married Elisateen (surname 
unknown) in 1731. Their first son William was born in 1732 and married 
in 1754. Nathaniel Hood II lived in Topsfield, Massachusetts, and the 
old house is still standing, and still occupied by a Hood. 
  
Nathaniel B Hood was born to Nathaniel and Elisateen in about 1740. He 
grew up in Massachusetts, and married Elizabeth Palmer. They had a son, 
William born in Massachusetts, then they moved to Vermont where two 
additional sons, Britton and Bold Robin were born.
