- A native of England, William Wood came to America scarcely under a century ago accompanied by his wife. They settled in Providence. R. I. When the gold fever caught the country, with its accompanying whirl-wind of prospecting and mining, William Wood, Sr., joined the ranks of the 'forty-niners' and went West to California, where he died shortly after his arrival.
