Her father was Ezra Wood.

Her mother was Elizabeth Fuller.


She was married to William Judson Sherman on March 22, 1855 
in Plainfield, Windham County, CT, in a double ceremony
with her brother Daniel Wood and his bride, Mary Amanda Slade.

They had six children:

  Charles Sherman     born          1856

The 1855 census for Masonville, NY lists:

  Judson, age 26, farmer;
  Jane, age 18 (wife);     (Jane C. Wood, born in Plainfield, CT)

Judson had lived in Masonville all his life (26 years); 

Jane had lived there for 2.5 years (at the time of the census).

Jane's middle name was probably "Cornelia", after her mother 
and/or her grandmother.

The photo shows Jane and William together;
the two persons at the bottom are not identified,
but are likely Jane and William at another time.
