Carol, In looking at the name William Wood, I've found a captain of three different whaling ships with that name. I've seen a number of cases where a seaman picked up in the Azores takes the captains name when he leaves ship in America.
An early pioneer of Sacramento , Joseph Miller did this. he was from Pico. For your William Jason Wood, Guilherme Jacinto. Guillerme - Portuguese form of William. Jacinto- amercanized to Jason, Wood- captains name. The New Bedford Whaling ship lists show cabin boy same name as Captian In 1844 , Guillerme Jacinto would have been 14 years old *Crewmen: WILLIAM WOOD**Age: Height: Skin Color: Hair Color: Eye Color: Residence: Rank: CAPTAIN Lay: 1/16**Ship Name: EAGLE Rigging: SHIP Port of Registry: NEW BEDFORD Whaling Ground: PACIFIC Departure Date: 12/03/1844 Return Date: 01/15/1849 Re * *WILLIAM WOOD** ** ** ** ** ** **BOY **1/180 * Eric Edgar On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 3:28 PM, Carol Lobo <caroll...@cox.net> wrote: > Eric,**** > > ** ** > > Thank you so much, this is the best evidence that I have as to the REAL > name of William J Wood, thank you so much – I will try to do research from > my end.**** > > ** ** > > Sincerely, Carol**** > > ** ** > > *From:* azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] *On > Behalf Of *eric edgar > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 21, 2013 11:34 AM > > *To:* Azores Genealogy > *Subject:* Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Willliam J Wood**** > > ** ** > > Carol, **** > > ** ** > > **** > > Here is a clip form the obituary story of William Wood Jr in Portuguese > newspaper that shows the original name of William Jason Wood as Guilherme > Jacinto of Santa Maria . **** > > ** ** > > Mother's name of Amelia Christina Madison of Flores.
