Research
Karen Wood had her birthdate as 18 Oct 1897, and no information on spouse or children. Karen’s info was obtained from Bible records that were published in the VA/NC Piedmont Society Quarterly. However, this data must be erroneous, since “Emma” was married in 1905 and had her first child in 1906.
