Here is a transcript of a biographical sketch for J G Wood that gives some family information.
From Biographical and Historical Record of Jay and Blackford Counties, Indiana

==================================

Here is another biographical scetch from The Biographical Record
(Sorry, I don't have the publisher, etc.)

     John G Wood, a prominent business man of Hartford City and ex-treasurer of Blackford County, is descended paternally from an old Pennsylvania family and on the mother's side from one of the pioneers of Perry County, Ohio. His father, Reason Wood, moved in an early day from Monongahela county, Pennsylvania, to Morrow county, Ohio, where he met and married Jane Goodin, and later located in the town of Woodbury, where he worked at the blacksmith trade until his removal, in 1853, to Blackford county, Indiana. For some years after coming to this state he followed his trade, but subsequently exchanged it for agricultural pursuits, taking charge of a small farm in Harrison township which came into his possession prior to his removal to Blackford county. He made his home on this place until 1882, when he disposed of his real estate and moved to Saline county, Nebraska, where he remained until the death of his wife, after which he returned to this county and purchased a farm a short distance west of Montpelier, in the township of Harrison, where his death occurred on the 25th day of July, 1896. By his first marriage, noted above, Reason Wood became the father of the following children: Sarah E., wife of John Hart, of Harrison township; Mary M., deceased; Maude J., deceased; Lucinda, wife of George W. Woolford, of Saline county, Nebraska; John G., whose name appears at the beginning of this article, and Asa Smith, deceased. Mr. Wood was married a second time at Montpelier, but to this unions there was no issue.
      Much might be written of Reason Wood as a man and citizen. He belonged to that large and industrious class that do much in a quiet way to advance the material interests of the country and by lives directed and controlled by the principles of moral rectitude give character and tone to the community. Intelligent beyond the majority, he was a great reader, fully informed on all the leading questions of the day, and he wielded a potent influence for the Republican party in his township. In religious belief he was unswerving in his loyalty during the greater part of his life and in the faith of which he passed from the church militant to the church triumphant.
     John Goodin Wood was born April 1, 1842, in Morrow county, Ohio, and there he passed the first years of his life. In 1853 he was brought by his parents to Blackford county, Indiana, from which date until his twentieth year he remained on the home farm in Harrison township, attending meanwhile the common schools and obtaining a practical knowledge of the branches taught therein. In the spring of 1863 he responded to the country's call for volunteers by joining Company H, One Hundred and Eighteenth Volunteer Infantry, under Captain W. G. Lett, with which he served a little less than one year, being mustered out at Indianapolis at the expiration of his period of enlistment. Returning home, he farmed for his father until 1865, on October 13th, of which year, he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Bugh, daughter of Barnhardt and Hannah J. (Coddington) Bugh, and immediately thereafter engaged in agricultural pursuits for himself on the home place in Harrison township. After three years thus spent Mr. Wood purchased a place of his own in the township of Washington, consisting of one hundred and twenty acres of fertile land, which under his successful management became one of the best farms in that part of the country. He made this place his home for a period of ten years, when he removed to the old home farm which in the meantime he had purchased and which is still in his possession. Mr. Wood's success as a farmer more than met his expectations and during the period of his residence in the country he enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most through and progressive agriculturalists of the country. In 1894 he was elected to the office of treasurer of Blackford county and the better to attend the duties incident thereto he rented his farm and removed to Hartford City where he since continued to reside. After acting as custodian of the county funds two years and discharging his official functions faithfully and efficiently, Mr. Wood, at the expiration of his term, retired from the office and in partnership with W. H. Cox engaged in the grocery business. Within one month he purchased his partner's interest and since that time has been sole proprietor of one of the largest and best appointed grocery houses in the city. As a business man Mr. Wood easily ranks with the first of Hartford City and his influence on the commercial interests of the place has been such as to bring him into prominent notice, not only to the people of the county, among whim he is widely and favorably known, but also to wholesale dealers in his line in large business cities of the country. By carefully studying the wishes of the public and courteously catering thereto, he has succeeded in building up a very extensive trade. In addition to this he also gives personal attention to his large farming interests in Blackford and other counties, owning a beautiful place of one hundred and sixty acres in Harrison township, two hundred and forty acres in the township of Washington, upon which are six producing oil wells, and other valuable property in city and county, all of which came to him as the result of his careful business forethought and successful operations as a financier.
     Mr. Wood is one of the wheel horses of Republicanism in Blackford county and as such assisted largely in leading his party to victory in a number of campaigns, and it was in recognition of his efficient services that he was elected to the important official position before mentioned. His personal standing as a citizen is without a flaw and his popularity with all classes irrespective of party affiliation is ample proof that the trust reposed in him has by no means been misplaced. In a very large sense the life of Mr. Wood, though in the main quiet, has been marked with great success. He has never been the man to boost of his achievements or parade his virtues before the public. From a comparatively humble origin, with all the disadvantages of beginning life with but limited capital, he has succeeded in winning success from adverse circumstances and attaining a standing for moral principles and influence seldom met with. His whole life has been exemplary and his example is worthy of imitation by those with fortunes yet to be achieved.
     Mr. Wood is connected with the Pythian brotherhood, the G. A. R. and the Masonic fraternity, in the last of which he has acquired a high and noble standing. The following are the names of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Wood: Nora married Charles C Brown; Austin, deceased; Emma, wife of William Trussel, of Harrison township; Norman J., deputy circuit court clerk of Blackford county; Nellie, the wife of L. L. Tyner, of Hartford City; Ollie and Lillie, the last named deceased.
     The mother of these children is popular in the social circles in the Methodist church. While not visibly connected with any religious body, Mr. Wood is a believer in churches, contributes liberally to their support and heartily seconds all their endeavors to raise the moral status of the community. ---
