Enfant(s):
Lucy was the third daughter and fifth child of Adolphus Babcock and Jerusha Jane Rowley Babcock. Other members of the family were Sophronia, born in 1822. Lorenzo, born in 1823. Eliza , born in 1828. George, born in 1831. Lucy born in 1832. Permelia, born in 1837. Albern, born in 1840. John, born in 1842. William Henry, born in 1848.
Lucy married William Wood Sr. when she was nearly 17 years old. William who was 26 years old at the time, was born in Herford, Herfordshire, England, February 2, 1823. He was a member of the Mormon Battalion, Company C, the same as her brother, Lorenzo Babcock.
After several moves the Wood family went to Washington, Utah. It was in this little community that Lucy gave birth to her 6th child, Alice Sophronia, in March, 1858. It was here also, where deep sorrow was experienced. One of the men of the town was shooting crows which were taking his crops. He was unaware that little 5 year old Eliza Wood was anywhere around until one of his shots struck the child and killed her.
The sorrowing family could not stand it there after this tragedy. William had purchased a home there, which he traded for a barrel of molasses and a few other things he could use, and traveled north to find a more suitable place to settle. Minersville, in Beaver County, seemed to be a nice place to make their home,.
Lucy found the people friendly and kind and they were indeed glad to find a place to make their permanent home. Her 7th child, Abraham, ( the first white boy born in Minersville ) was born on 12 May, 1860, and Francis Permelia (Rose) was added to the family January, 1862. On December,1863, Lucy was gave birth to a little daughter, Celestia Ann. Lucy was 31 years of age. Even though she had the best Mid-wife care that was available in the community, nature did not react in her behalf as it should have done and she died 4 days later, on the 6th of Dec. 1863, following complications of child-birth.
The little baby lived until April 1864 being cared for by kind neighbors anxious to help the bereaved family.
