    3. 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."

He married a girl from Swansea, Mass. named Amy Carter. My researches do not reveal an Indian connection, her father was apparently a John Carter who married a Lydia Bowen (although I have not been able to positively confirm this). My branch of the family continues through either Jeremiah or Thomas Woodmansee who moved to Orleans County, NY in early 1800s, then moved on to Michigan. The marriage of Gideon and Amy (also spelled Amie or Almy or Aimee depending on the record) is well documented as Oct. 7, 1781. They had 5 children between 1782 and 1793 while still living in Dartmouth. Apparently Gideon with one or more of his sons, moved to Pennsylvania around 1819. Amy supposedly died in 1842 in Pennsylvania, but I don't have confirmation of this yet. Gideon definitely died in 1851 and was buried! > in Jerusalem Cemetery in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
