In 1901, Sumner Gilbert Wood moved to Blandford, the home of his paternal grandmother of seven generations back. He came to this town as the new pastor of both Congregational Churches. During his pastorate he acquired an interest in the town's history and began research which resulted in the publication of three books: Taverns and Turnpikes of Blandford (1908, Ulster Scots and Blandford Scouts (1928), and Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution from Blandford (1933). This final book, Homes and Habits of Blandford was published by the Blandford Historical Society in 1985 to celebrate the town's 250th anniversary.
