Wood family.
Richard Wood of Bristol, England, was part of the 17th century Quaker migration to the lower Delaware Valley, his descendants settling eventually in what is now Cumberland County, N.J. Richard D. Wood (1799-1869) married Julianna Randolph (1810-1885) in 1832, and they became the founders of one of Philadelphia's great Quaker mercantile and manufacturing families.

Her grandfather, Edward Randolph (1754-1837), a Revolutionary War soldier who became a merchant at Philadelphia and elder in the Society of Friends, dropped the "Fitz," which many family members wrote as a middle name.
