Silas Martin Wood
The Wood family traveled to Utah sometime between 1851 and 1855. Martin signed a petition in Iowa in 1848, but the first documentation to place them in Utah is a church ordinance performed in August 1855. Two secondary sources incorrectly state that they came to Utah in 1848; however, the family appears on the 1850 Iowa Census in Pottawattamie County.
