Title:
Eunice Northrup Wilson
Description:
Eunice Northrup Wilson 1799-1867
Eunice and Rufus came over from Ridgefield CT on an ox sled. Apparently they came because Eunice's mother was already in Sullivan with her husband Seth Wood who may have come because his father Jonathan was here even earlier. Apparently the second child, Sarah, was born in Walton, Delaware County, on the trip over.
Many records list Eunice as Eunice Wood because her mother married Seth Wood about two years after her birth and she was a member of the Wood household. Eunice was named for her grandmother, Eunice Northrup. The name Northrup as a middle name is not a clue to her paternity.
