• Notes

  When I was informed that Erastus Hill Wood, III's name was actually E. H. Wood, III I was skeptical and questioned him via email about this. I learned that the individual informing me of the correct name was E.H. Wood, III himself. He graciously supplied the following story about the derivation of his name which I am including here and on his father's page. "My grandfather was Erastus Hill Wood Sr. He passed away before I was born. However, the story is that when my father was born, he wanted him to be named after him. Erastus' nickname was "Rat". My grandmother said she would not have a child be called "Rat", so they compromised with E. H. Both my father's and my birth certificate contain initials only." from, E.H. Wood, III via email dated 4/13/2012
