Note: Francina Herman receiveda large tract of land named "Three Bohemian Sisters" from her father, Augustine Herman in his will. One tract was called "Francina" in Cecil County, Maryland. The Labadists reported that Francina was not treated well by her step-mother,Catherine Ward Herman, who was the daughter of Augustine Herman's neighbor, Henry Ward.



Francina Herman (1062 - ?). It is believed that she left for Holland before 1679 but soon returned to America, She joined the Dutch Church inNew York and was subsequently married to Joseph Wood.

Unfortunately there is no single document in existence which would provide explicit information about their children. Nevertheless, based on indirect evidence from the last wills and land transactions of the descendants, it could be surmised that the Woods had six children, namely, Joseph, Robert, Jennie (who married Thomas Clark), Susannah (who married Ebenezer Empson), Letitia. (who married Samuel Lowman) and Rebecca Wood. As shows in the Genealogical Tree, there is no information on Rebecca Wood and hardly any information exists on the descendants of Joseph Wood, .Susannah Wood and Letitia Wood. This should be a fertile ground for more research. Most of the genealogical research has focused on the descendants of Robert Wood (particularly the Judge Joseph Wood's line) and the Bouldin line of the Thomas Clark's descendants.
