Henry was baptised 28-05-1609 and inherited Redhow. He married (when he was described as Henry Ward) 17-11-1636 in Lamplugh to Mary Wilson. They had children: John (baptised 23-08-1638), Henry (baptised 22-11-1640), William (baptised 12-02-1643), Janet (baptised 07-09-1645), Thomas (baptised 28-06-1648), Annas (baptised 29-12-1650), George (baptised 10-04-1653), and Aaron (baptised 10-04-1656).
He was a bondsman for his brother John in his 1662 probate. He was a bondsman for Henry Bowman of Lingcroft in 1664. On both occasions he marked.
This last event is slightly strange, as he would only have been a cousin to Henry Bowman, and may suggest that there is another unknown relationship to tie the two together [as shown below].
Henry made his will 04-06-1675. I don't have a date for his inventory, but the bond was dated April 1576. So he could have died in 1675 or 1676.
His heir in his will was his son, John, giving him all his husbandry gear. His executors were his sons Thomas, George, and Aaron. The witnesses were Lancelot Dickinson and Thomas Wood. The administrator appointed in the bond was his son George.
Children
John Wood (1638-1703) of Redhow
John inherited Redhow. He married Ann Wilson of Brigham. They had two children, Henry and Mary. Henry died before his father, without children, and Mary became the sole heiress.
Henry Wood (1640-1701) of Holedale?
It is probable that this Henry was the Henry Wood of Holedale who was buried 12-06-1701 in Lamplugh. If so, he married twice. First to an unknown Jane, the mother of his children (Henry and Abigail), who was buried as his wife 15-10-1692; and, second, 15-06-1696 to Ann Dalton of Brigham, buried 13-03-1712, the widow in his probate.
He was mentioned in the 1675 will of his father. He wasn't mentioned in the will of his brother or sister-in-law in 1700 and 1712, which adds credence to him being the Henry Wood of Holedale who died in 1701.
William Wood (1643-post1675) of Cockermouth?
He was mentioned in the 1675 will of his father. He wasn't mentioned in the will of his brother or sister-in-law in 1700 and 1712, which suggests that he died before 1710.
It is quite possible that he was the William Wood who married Agnes Dickinson (1646-) of Streetgate. If so, they were mentioned in the 1677 will of her father, William Dickinson of Streetgate, when they had one son.
This marriage could explain why Henry became a bondsman for Henry Bowman of Lingcroft in 1665. Henry was nephew to Henry Bowman's grandfather, but that isn't a close relationship. This marriage draws him in much closer - his son William would have been brother-in-law to Henry Bowman's widow.
Ann, widow of John Wood (1638-1703) of Redhow gave 10/- to 'her sister Ann Wood of Cockermouth'. This could refer to either Agnes his wife or to Annas his sister.
Thomas Wood (1648-post1712) of Whillimoor
Thomas received a bequest in his father's 1675 will. He was described as of Whillimoor in his brother John's 1700 will. He was described as 'brother' in the 1712 will of John's widow Ann.
Annas Wood (1650-) of Cockermouth?
Ann, widow of John Wood (1638-1703) of Redhow gave 10/- to 'her sister Ann Wood of Cockermouth'. This could refer to either this Annas or to Agnes, the wife of her brother William.
George Wood (1653-post1675)
George may be the George Wood of Lamplugh who married Jane Dixon of Lamplugh 06-03-1677/8 in Loweswater.
He was mentioned in his father's 1675 will, but not in the 1710/2 wills of his brother and brother's wife.
Aaron Wood (1656-1699) of Pardshaw
Aaron is a very unusual name for this area, so he must surely be the Aaron Wood who died at Pardshaw in 1699. In which case, his family seem to live at Pardshaw Hall into the nineteenth century. There is probate for this family, which I haven't seen.
He was mentioned in his father's 1675 will, but not in the 1710/2 wills of his brother and brother's wife.
