Hummm... Interesting! "IF" the age of Elizabeth Woodmancy (Woodmansee) was correct in the 1850 census as 78 yrs. old, she would of been born about 1771. If Joseph Woodmansee died in 1813 at the age of 60 yrs. old, he would of been born about the year of 1753. That would make Joseph about 18 yrs. older than Elizabeth (Betsey). Talk about robbing the cradle. But not unusual back in those days. But...this Mary E. (Woodmansee) Angle, Harriet and Martha Woodmansee (spelled Woodmancy) could not possibly be the children of Joseph and Elizabeth. According to the 1850 census, Mary E. Angle was born abt. 1833; Harriet born abt. 1838; and Martha born about 1846. With knowing this, they must be Joseph and Elizabeth's grandchildren, with the father dying between 1846 & 1850. Correct? Oh boy!!! I can just see Eliz's head spinning again. ha ha Debbie Noland Nitsche [email protected] Historical Marietta, Ohio on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/historicalmariettaohio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eliz Hanebury" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 1:06 PM Subject: Re: [OHWashin] Beebe/Howard 1850 Census Is is the Griswold <G> what a treasure trove this is http://www.revwar.com/ftgriswold/graves2.html Eliz On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 12:03 PM, E Robson<[email protected]> wrote: > Debbie ~ (& thanks Eliz) > > Another of the publications included at ancestry brought up more > information relative to Joseph in the Battle of Groton.
