Description From Owner:

Halifax native Charles Wood was the first Canadian soldier to be killed in action in the South African War [Boer War) (1899-1901). He was a grandson of Gen. Zachary Taylor who was briefly (1849-50) president of the United States.
In 1901 the Nova Scotia legislature declared that Gays River Road, Taylorville and Taylor Settlement be 'hereafter known as Chaswood.' Gavin Johnson received a 500-acre land grant here in 1787.
