Who is JAKE HOOD, linked to Hood of Selby - Any help please?

[ShaunJ]

Are you sure the "1941 document"  says Jake Hood? Not Jane Hood ?

[..claire..]

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have a website with online archives to browse.. One such title " Hood and sons H.P", It is a photograph, but maybe a lead

There is also a publication written by JM Hood:

Colonel John Mifflin Hood was an engineer who became President of the Western Maryland Railroad Company circa 1870

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mifflin_Hood

The will also mentions a Tea Caddy left to Edwin, along with 'my own scrap book'.

Jane Casson Hood's will also mentions her photographic album.

So I think "Jake" must surely be a misreading of "Jane".

Thanks Shaun (this refers to the JM Hood reference - the bit below must have crossed with your next post).

Given that Jane Casson Hood's will mentions leaving her scrap book and photograph album to Edwin, and Edwin's will mentions a scrap book & photograph album belonging to 'Jake', I tend to agree that we really need to be certain that "Jake" isn't in fact 'Jane'.

I agree Jane or Jake, it seems more likely to be Jane although Bushin1746 states it mentions 'Jake' a couple of times in the document he has.

Jomot - the Quaker Hoods you mention in Pennsylvania maybe related to the Hoods mentioned in a book on archive.org - "The Genealogy of Dunwoody and Hood Families".

 Very detailed book in which the Hoods left Castle Donington, Leicestershire c1690 for Pennsylvania.

We seem to keep going back to Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire

 I am searching for information on Sarah HOOD (nee ARUNDEL) and her ancestors. Sarah was born 15th February 1831 at Selby, Yorkshire, England. Her father was John ARUNDEL. Sarah married James HOOD at Selby Abbey on 27-12-1851 and they subsequently moved to Derby, England with their 9 children. Sarah died at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England on 22-08-1911 and was buried in the Quaker burial ground. For my genealogy program, I would wish to find the date of burial, this is proving difficult. Also the burial ground is now a supermarket car park!! Any information on the HOOD's or ARUNDEL's of Selby would be appreciated.

Thank you all for the replies.

How could I be so unlucky to get a name, whereby hitting a wrong letter, gave another name Jake.
