4.  1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #1 of 32):  Spencer Twp., Medina Co., OH, Roll M432_709, p. 423A, 1613/1619, enumerated 10 Sep 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Lucena is 7, not 17.  Francis is Abel's father.  Listed next to married daughter, Rachel M. (WOOD) SOOG [SOOY].  Can't find purported son, Francis M. WOOD, and I did a page-by-page check of Spencer Twp.

5.  1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #3 of 27):  Centerville P.O., Spencer Twp., Medina Co., OH, Roll M653_1007, p. 91B, PN 138, 1046/1036, enumerated 23 Jul 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

I would have taken Elias WOOD for Abel's son, but Elias is not in the household in 1850.  Is he a nephew, perhaps?  Can't find purported son, Francis M. WOOD.
