In 1836 they moved to the private village of
Jamberoo. George Wood settled on Moses Brennan's
holding, near John Ritchie's farm, where he farmed
successfully for a few years, and then combined
dairying with agriculture.
On 6 May 1836 George Wood junior was born.
Elizabeth Wood was born in 1839, but unfortunately
she died in 1842 aged 3 years old. By this time the
Tate's had also taken up land in Jamberoo. Old survey
maps show the Wood's and Tate's owning land adjacent
to each other. One area where the Tate's and Wood's
farmed was shown on old survey maps as Tate's Ridge.
The Tate and the Wood families joined destinies with
the marriages of John Kell Tate to Sarah Ann Wood and
Edward Kell Tate's marriage to Jane Ellen Wood.
One of the Tate's daughters, Elizabeth Tate,
married James Augustine Donnelly. James Augustine
& Elizabeth (nee Tate) Donnelly's daughter,
Elizabeth (1836-1876) married George and Hannah
Wood's only son George Wood junior.
