Martin Wood was the father of Harriett Wood Woolf.
Harriett Wood Woolf married Absalom Woolf. Harriet Wood Woolf was the first wife of Absalom Woolf. His second wife was Lucy Ann Hembleton Woolf. After coming west with the pioneers, they were asked by Brigham Young to settle the Hyde Park, Cache County area.
Martin Wood is the ancestor of Alice Marie Johnson McIntyre, the mother of Kathleen Ann McIntyre and Grandmother of Jordan Aaron Nicolaides.
Martin Wood, father of Harriett Wood Woolf, was a member of the Seventeenth Quorum of Seventies. He was the first missionary to be called out of Milville, Cache County, Utah on a foreign mission. Because of ill health, he was transferred to the Eastern States Mission leaving England in April 1863. He never returned home, however, as he died in an accident while crossing the plains with a company of emigrants.
