Charles Wood was the 7th of 15 children of William Wood of Wolverhampton and his wife Margaret, daughter of Richard Molyneux, an ironmonger in that area. William Wood followed his father-in-law's trade until 1715, when he became an ironmaster too and later entered into a contract to provide copper coinage for Ireland.

William's father-in-law was an ironmaster so to say he followed in his trade until 1715 then became an ironmaster too does not seem to make sense.

Charles Wood was married twice. First to Ann Piele and secondly to Jemima Brownrigg. The article mentions the death of his wife and this was of Jemima. He married Ann in 1735 and Jemima in 1756. Elizabeth Wood was born in Kingston 16 May 1739. Ann Wood was born in 1764. She married Samuel Botham in 1796 and their daughter Mary Botham (Howitt) was born 12 Mar 1799.
