Family History Details

Based on family stories, it seems the even the Revell and Wood step-siblings were generally as close as if they had been blood siblings. Some of the Woods and Revells kept in contact with each other for decades after the death of the parents. In my family, my grandfather Alfred Revell recalls visiting Wood relatives when he was young, and Andy Peplow has similar anecdotal information from the Wood side.

Martha Jane and her family eventually emigrated to the USA (Fulton County, Illinois) [7].

Anna ( Hannah) Maria Wood's birth registry confirms that she was born out of wedlock, several years after the death of Robert Wood. It is possible that the the father was Sarah's second husband Joseph Revell.
