    !NOTE Joel Wood was born sixteen miles from Nashville, Tenn. When he was 6 years of age he and his two brothers, accompanied by their uncle, William Gose (sic), walked the entire distance tetween Nashville and Carlton, Mo. near which he spent his boyhood. In 1849, in the company with Edmond Clark, a neighbor residing in Richmond county, MO., he joined a wagon train, led by Capt. William Gray, heading west. He arrived in California 16 Nov 1849 via Carson and Lassen. Resided at Bidwell Bar, Rich Bar (Yuba Co.) Marysville, Big Meadow, Lambs Valley, and Capay Valley (Yolo Co). He operated a Ferry across the Feather River and ran a trading post and general store in Bidwell Bar, Butte Co. in late 1849 until May 1850. He returned to Missouri and then next year came back to Marysville. He then opened a store and butcher shop at Rich Bar on the Middle Fork of the Yuba River. He tried raising cattle near Marysville. In 1852 He ran a trading post at Big Meadows on the Humboldt River. He lived for a time in Lake County but left because of the proximity of the Indians. In 1854 he moved to Yolo County and settled in Capay Valley, giving the valley the name of Capay. He operated a store and blacksmith shop in the area named Dogtown (later called Cadanasa). in 1880 the "Yolo Mail", the county newspaper wrote a spicy story of the a860's about Dogtown brawls and wild times. Dogtown became a way station for everyone going to Berryessa. It was the pioneer community for the whole valley.
    He later farmed and raised cattle and sheep. He was a Constable and made the arrest of 2 desperados, James Marble and L. Glasscock. He was the second of the first 5 settlers in Capay Valley. He could read and write whereas most Pioneers could not. The Wood family originally was from England and emigrated from Virginia to Tenn. (This information came from an article in the "Woodland Democrat" !SOURCE family bible of Myrtle White (her first husband was a brother to Ken Bowles) information from Marjorie Bell, South Land Park, Sacramento, CA. She is the gr. gr. grandaughter of Joel Wood. There is also information in the CA state library files in Sacramento.
    He lived in Cadanasa 64 years before his death. He died of old age. Book 2 death records.

    Dear Marilyn,
    I had a few minutes to go over some of the family history on the Parker Press
    website. One of the questions was how Mary Wood and Marcellus Nurse met. I
    will quote from a letter my grandmother wrote to me years ago after she took me
    to the site of Joel and Emerine's home, and to the site of her parents' ranch in
    the Capay Valley.
    "Joel from Tennessee, Emerine from Kentucky, crossed the plains in 1840's.
    Joel went up on the Feather River near Oroville Ca. during the gold strike,
    settled at Rich Bar with a few other pioneers, made camp. Joel struck it rich
    by mining (on Feather River) came to the Capay Valley, Yolo Co. bought with a
    $20 gold piece acres and acres of land which sold at that time (1850's) 25 cents
    to 50 cents per acre. And he had lots of the gold pieces. Married Emerine and
    had eleven children, and as each married he gave them a ranch, which at that
    time was called a short quarter (140 acres). Your great grandmother Mary got a
    beautiful ranch (almond, fruit, etc.) nice home--eight children, one passed away
    at the early age of eight or nine (Guy Frank). Made money and in those days it
    was good--(not so today). Joel Wood had a store, hotel and your great
    grandfather Marcellus A. Nurse came out from Portsmouth, Ohio, with two other
    young surveyors, started this side of S.F. in a place called Elmira and surveyed
    for a railroad to go up through the Capay Valley. When they got as far as
    Joel's line they stayed at the hotel and that is where he met your great
    grandmother Mary, courted her, after finishing the line, left, and came back and
    really fell in love and they married in 1872."
    This was written as kind of a long handwritten note, with the sentences running
    together, and punctuation left out, but it still holds together. I have also
    heard, and can't remember when or where, that Marcellus went to a box lunch
    social in the Capay Valley where he saw Mary the first time, and was taken with
    her, and bought her box lunch. I don't know if this is true but I have heard
    that story for a long time. Grandma also told me that Joel and Emerine's home
    was a wonderful place for the whole family, days filled with good visits and
    good food. She said that Marcellus was a good but very strict father. Once
    as a little girl she followed him out into the orchard, she was so excited that
    he was home. I think he commuted by train to Sacramento where he worked. She
    said he switched her legs with a switch all the way back to the house because
    she had disobeyed him. That may be why she loved Rose so much, as he was the
    oldest, and she was the youngest, and he was so sweet and loving to her. She
    said that Marcellus brought home musical instruments for the children and they
    played them together in the evenings. She played the piano and the accordion by
    ear, but she could also read music. Once as a little girl she was asked to play
    the organ or piano during church, as the pianist was sick that day. She went to
    the front of the church, sat down, and played "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old
    Town Tonight". No one scolded her. She rode a horse to school and one time
    fell into the creek and was saved by clinging to what she called a cockle burr
    branch. Another story I love is that when it became necessary to move to
    Sacramento to be close to Marcellus' work, Mary said she would only go if she
    could take her milk cow, and she did. Grandma sometimes accompanied her father
    to the state capital and one day she visited the treasurer's office. They told
    her that she could have any sack of gold she could carry out of the office, but
    of course the sacks were so heavy she couldn't budge them. I love these stories
    and tell them to my daughter and granddaughters. Nick and I took our daughter
    back east years ago, and with my cousin Merrilyn Marquering Powell, spent the
    day at the home of Rebecca Nurse. We walked from the home out to the memorial
    site, which is an approximation of her burial site or grave. Grandma and
    Grandpa visited her home many years before that. It felt necessary to honor
    Rebecca in some way, and visiting helped us feel that we did.
    Thanks for listening!!
    We wish you a very happy Mother's Day and will be thinking of you and Ron each
    day and especially on Monday.
    Best wishes,
    Louise
