Note on Wife: Eliza Jane WOOD

Joseph Nichols was born circa 1837 in either Africa or Clay County, Missouri. We have two different birthplaces given by two different census takers. We do, however, know he was a slave in Clay County, Missouri. While enslaved he married Eliza Jane Wood. Eliza had been married before and had a daughter named Lucilla King. Eliza died in August 1863 and it was shortly after that when Joseph ran away.
