She is listed as living with George and Margaret in Ohio in the 1850 US Census. However, this census does not include relationships, so she may have been a cousin. Census lists her as 8 yrs old in 1850. Upon looking at this census again, I find a John A. Van Gesen living close to them. getting interesting. So far I haven't found anyone with the name Rozelier listed as a child of any of the other Woodmansees I am looking at. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Van Geison in Mar 1847. They moved eventually to Calhoun Co., Mich. where Margaret d. in 1872. George m. Priscilla Lamb second in 1873. The book lists three children of George and Margaret: Francis, Ralph and an infant who d. soon after birth. Rozelier is not listed. It would seem that something is odd since you list his birth in 1842; George was supposedly m. in 1847; and there is a large gap between the 1st and 2nd child.

Local histories in Wayne County, PA say that Gideon and his family came here ca. 1816 along with son-in-law Rufus Geer (m. Azuba Woodmansee). His obituary says that Amy died some six years before him. Although Thomas and Jeremiah came here, they didn't stay long. James (my ancestor) stayed. I have found no evidence that Amy Carter was an Indian and believe it's based on misreading an entry in an old record. There is a record of her birth to John Carter and Lydia Bowen in MA. Anyway, I think I can provide some answers. Contact me at [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Your Gideon Woodmansee appears to be in the newly released Woodmansee Book, as #12111. His Revolutionary War record, as well as his lineage are recorded in this 2 hard bound Volume, 1910 page Genealogy of Gabriel Woodmansee (title, but can't be underlined or italics for Rootsweb): "Descendants of Gabriel Woodmancy / Woodmansee of New London Connecticut; Thirteen Generations From 1665."

Author: rwoodmansee1 Surnames: Woodmansee Vert Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.woodmansee/246/mb.ashx Message Board Post: While doing some research on family, I ran across an interesting news article from 1911. Although probably not related directly to me, I still want to find out something about it. Eugene C. Woodmansee of Illinois went to Indiana in 1867 to marry a Sarah Vert. Just before the wedding he vanished. forty-four years later, his bones were discovered in a trunk buried under an old road house. His mother and father came from Illinois for the wedding. His brother was J. H. Woodmansee and lived at Danville, Illinois. If anyone knows anything about this incident or the family, please let me know.

Author: rwoodmansee1 Surnames: Woodmansee Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.woodmansee/245/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am searching for any information I can find on Margaret M Woodmansee, born around 1820 in New York, who married George Gideon Woodmansee around 1840, probably in Orleans County, NY. I have found one source who believes her maiden name was Vangeison. There was a Vangeison family living in the Orleans County area around this time, but so far I have not been able to confirm this. If anyone knows anything about Margaret, please point out some sources that will start me off. Other information I know about her is: she lived in Fairfield, Ohio in 1850, then in Decatur, Michigan in 1860. She probably died around 1874 in Michigan. She had at least four children with George G. Woodmansee; Rozelier b. 1842, Frances E. b. 1850, Eugene b. 1851, and Rocky b. 1856. Also, If anyone knows anything about the children I would be glad to have that information also. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I do not have any family knowledge of him, but I also found several articles. One spells Sarah's name as Virt. The article says he was probably murdered because he had $500 on him and was robbed. Since he was on his way to get married, maybe he fought the robber pretty hard and was killed in the process. It also says Sarah waited 10 years for him to return before marrying another man.

He was born abt. 1845 in either Mich or Ohio, even his daughters give conflicting information. He married Elizabeth Ruch 1861 and had son William 1862 who died in infancy. He and Eliz. had Cora Belle in 1864 and Margaret Caroline (Callie) in 1868. Cora married Leroy Bailey and settled in Gratiot County, Michigan. Margaret married Thomas Grant Cline and settled near Conneault, Ohio. Thomas G. Cline was born in West Virginia. John Woodmansee died at age 23 in 1868 probably either Ohio or Michigan.

It seems logical that the Nichols, at least Reuben and his sons, William, Clark, Amos, and Caleb, knew the Woodmansees and the Mattesons. Perhaps it is a little more than a coincidence that Luther married Evalyn Woodmansee when their grandparents came from the same area in Rhode Island. When Reuben and his younger three sons left Rhode Island, William stayed. It is his son Caleb that you find listed in all of the family search sites in Rhode Island and became a successful business man.

I believe that Freelove's father was Jonathan Matteson and that she had an older sister Patience(1770) But, there appear to be so many Matteson families, most of them related, that had daughters which they named Freelove. My Freelove had four sons, William, Amos, Caleb and Clark Nichols. I am a descendent of Clark and nis wife Nancy Howell. The Nichols moved to Sardinia, Erie, NY after Freelove died in 1811. I also think that there was a daughter that also died, because on the 1800 census it shows a young girl. However, there were no daughters that went to Sardinia. William Nichols stayed in Rhode Island (Coventry) and his family can be traced through Rhode Island. Clark and Nancy's oldest son was Luther and my great grandfather. Luther is the one who married Evalyn Woodmansee. As I understand, Evalyn was a schoolteacher. Luther also taught school in Tennessee at a privte schoo! l before he moved to Monona, Clayton, Iowa.

I had never heard the name until I started doing my Fuller genealogy about 10 years ago. Of course, my Fullers and the Woodmansees connected through Alice Mary Nichols and Chauncey Orson Fuller. I am having the same trouble with names on the Fuller side and also the Matteson. Reuben Nichols of Rhode Island married Freelove Matteson of Rhode Island. I cannot believe how many Freelove Mattesons are in Rhode Island. With the Fullers it is trying to connect Thomas Fuller. There seem to be a million Thomas Fullers throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
