Samuel Wood

Rev. Samuel Wood (1710-67) served as the Independent minister at the Old Meeting, Norwich ( 1747-67). He was not a former student of Doddridge, but he did subscribe to Volume 4 of the Family Expositor in 1753.  He was the nephew of Samuel Wood (d. 1748), Congregational minister at Bishop’s Stortford and Woodbridge who subscribed to Volume 1 of the Family Expositor in 1739, along with his son, Samuel Wood, Jr., who studied under Doddridge at Northampton from 1736-40. He served as the Congregational minister at Framlingham, Suffolk, from 1744 to 1756.  Two other Woods who were known to Doddridge as well and were most likely relations of Samuel Wood: James Wood (d. 1742), a Congregational minister, and Nathaniel Wood of St. Albans, a schoolmaster and a subscriber to Volume 1 of Doddridge's Family Expositor in 1739.
