Read More	Abigail Jenney was the daughter of John Jenney and his wife, Sarah (Carey) Jenney. She is described as the eldest daughter of John Jenney in his will. She was married April 28, 1644 in Plymouth to Henry Wood. She is mentioned in a legal document dated July 23, 1674, but is found in no other public records following that date. James E. Wood in a manuscript entitled, "John Jenney, Gentleman, of Plymouth Colony," stated, “Abigail Wood, the wife of Henry Wood and eldest daughter of John and Sarah Jenney, was buried in the Wood Family Burial Ground at Middleborough on the corner of Wood and Grove Streets, along with several generations of her descendants. A stone marked A W 1690 stood for many years marking the site of her burial, but is now lost. A part of Henry Wood’s original homestead is still in the possession of his descendants.” James E. Wood does not specify if Henry Wood was buried in this cemetery, although it would seem likely he would have been. A monument to his memory was erected at Nemasket Hill Cemetery in Middleborough. The cemetery was described by Thomas Weston in his book, HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MIDDLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, Volume 1 (1906), page 636. He wrote, "The Wood Cemetery, known as the Thomas Wood Cemetery, was a family burial ground at the corner of Grove and Wood streets. It has been in disuse for almost a hundred years, and trees and bushes have now so grown over the entire lot that it is difficult to distinguish it in passing by. The oldest interment here was that of Abner, son of Joshua and Hannah Waterman, who died July 18, 1796, in his twenty-second year." It should be noted "the oldest interment here" refers to the earliest remaining marked grave at the particular time when the inscriptions on the remaining tombstones were transcribed. The Wood Cemetery is mentioned in Charles M. Thatcher's book OLD CEMETERIES OF SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS: A COMPILATION OF RECORDS BY CHARLES M. THATCHER IN THE LATE 1880s as "Cemetery in the bushes at corner of Wood and Grove Streets." He recorded nine graves and mentioned there were "also 15 or more other graves."
