Notes:

January 12, 1864. New York Times. On Saturday evening, January 9, Mrs. Huldah Wood, aged 100 years and three months. The friends of the family, and of her grand-children, Mrs. Jacob Valentine, Rev. George W. Woodruff and John Trimble, are invited to attend her funeral, on Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from the residence of Mr. J. Valentine, No. 115 East 12th St., without further notice.

Obituary for Huldah Wood. October 12, 1863. "New York Times - General City News." One Hundred years old. The friends of Messrs. John Trimble and Jacob Valentine, on Friday evening, were guests at the latter, No. 115 East Twelfth Street. The occasion was a most interesting one, being the one hundredth birthday of Mrs. Huldah Wood, the grandmother of Mrs. Valentine and Mr. Trimble. The venerable lady is in the possession of her faculties, has never worn glasses in her life, enjoys good health and persists devoting herself to a portion of household duties. She has lived to see six generations of her family, and has a remarkable remembrance of the early as also of the later scenes and incidents of her life. Surrounded by care and tenderly watched, the pleasant probabilities are a number of years yet remain to her.

Assuming Hannah had two other daughters, one married a Trimble and had a son, John Trimble, a grandchild. Another daughter married an unknown Woodruff had had a son, Rev. George W. Woodruff, a grandson. The "W" for Rev. George Woodruff is most likely "Wood."
