I am the great great grand daughter of George Baruch Wood.
From his son Edward Escott Wood by his second marriage to Mary Helen Mabson. By the way her name was Mary Helen NOT Ellen. We have a needlework sampler that she did when she was eleven years old and her name on it is Mary Helen.
George had 9 further children after George Benjamin but two of them Leopold and Alexander never made it through their childhood. My mother has an illustrated poem that Mary Helen wrote as she watched Leopold die of smallpox.
I've got loads of info about the family if you want to swap notes. Would love to hear from you
