BELFIELD WOOD



   Belfield Wood applied for revolutionary pension while living in Fentress

County, Tennessee, in August, 1833, when he was 80 years of age. He was born in

Orange County, Virginia, and reared there and in Chesterfield County. He moved

to Burke County, North Carolina, and was living there in 1776 when he enlisted

in Captain Reuben White's company, Colonel Charles McDowell's regiment. In the

latter part of 1781 he enlisted in Captain Thomas Kennedy's company, Colonel

Locke's regiment. After the Revolution he moved to Pendleton County, South

Carolina, where he lived twenty-two years. He then moved to Madison County,

Kentucky, thence to Wayne County, Kentucky, where he lived ten years, thence to

Fentress County, Tennessee, where died April 6, 1736.[sic] His widow, Nancy

Kidwell Wood, applied for pension while living in Wayne County, Kentucky, where

she lived with her son, Belfield Wood, Jr., in September, 1856. She married

Belfield Wood March 15, 1810, in Pendteton County, South Carolina. The ceremony

was performed by Henry Burch. Her maiden name was Kidwell. She was born in 1792,

and may have been Belfield Wood's second wife as she was about forty years

younger than he. After the death of Belfield Wood she married Thomas Millsaps.
