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.
