| Notes |
- Gabriel likely came to America in the 1660s, but he is not found on any existing passenger lists. (He is often listed as coming from Yorkshire, likely based on the frequency of that name in tha county.) He is found in New London, CT in November 1665, when he purchased a homestead there that is what is now Shaw and Truman Streets. The only record of him prior to that is a will dated 2 Nov 1663 in St. Marys Co, MD to which he was a witness.
When Gabriel bought his property in New London in 1665, he was probably just married or about to be to Sarah ____, as their first child was born in 1668. Her maiden name is unknown, but she apparently remarried after Gabriel’s death to a Mr. Ricks, since her son’s estate refers to her as Widow Sarah Ricks. That may have been James, son of Thomas, born at Salem in 1657.
New London County Court records have the following entry: “Inventory gabriel Woodmansee, dec’d - proved, there is but a small estate and five small children to bring up, and the widow being with child...”
One website lists parents as Robert and Margaret (Clement) Woodmansee, married 29 Nov 1621 in Yorkshire. Robert was born in 1597 in Cherry Burton, Woodmancy, Yorkshire and died 13 Aug 1667 in Boston. His children were born first in England, then in Ipswich and Boston. The main source of this seems to be WFT data. However, these are actually two different Roberts, none of which is likely connected to Gabriel. The Robert at Cherry Burton was buried there in 1658. The Robert who died in Boston in 1667 was headmaster of Boston Latin until his death. There is no record of any Robert at New London, nor of any Gabriel in Massachusetts.
Sons William and John died without surviving issue and Gabriel apparently did as well, as he left his entire estate to his mother. Thomas, Sarah, Joseph and Richard are the only ones with descendents.

- Notes for Gabriel Woodmansee:
By Leo Gorman
Gabriel was born probably in the British Isles, emigrating to New England in the 1660's. Diligent searches of ships passenger list for the periods of 1620-1670 have not uncovered any immigrant named Woodmansee. Gabriel may have come in 1663 or he may have lived somewhere else in the colonies before moving(possibly) to Maryland and then to Connecticut. His children were born from 1668 until after his death in 1688, so it can be roughly estimated that he was born about 1640- and probably no earlier that 1635. When be bought the home in New London in 1665 he was probably already married or about to be married to Sarah-----. The birth records of three of Thier children include her given name, but her maiden name has not been discovered. After Gabriel died at New London in 1688 she evidently married, second----Ricks, who died Before 1720 when the probate of their son Gabriel estate referred to her as "Widow Sarah Ricks." Her second husband may have been James Rix.
New London County Court Records contain the following entry dated 27 September 1688.
Inventory Gabriel Woodmansee, dec'd-proved there is but a small estate and five small children to bring up, and the widow being with child..
Three of Gabriel sons are identified by land records. On 19 November 1707, Thomas Woodmansee, mariner of Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey, for L10 quitclaimed to his brother Joseph all rights etc., in the estate of his father Gabriel, late of New London, deceased. On 5 February 1719/20, Joseph W., of Groton, for L8 quitclaimed for himself and for his brother Thomas to "Gabriel, my brother" all his own and brother Thomas's rights in the estate of their honored father Gabriel. While these documents prove that Thomas, Joseph and Gabriel were sons of Gabriel Woodmansee and inferentially support the theory accepted by previous researchers that no other sons lived to adulthood, evidence to the contrary has been found.
A researcher hired by the present author discovered some handwritten noted at the New London County Historical Society labeled "Manuscripts Copy of Frances Manwaring Caulkins.
"we Samuel Masury of Salem in the county of Essex Cordwainer and Mary his wife-formerly Mary Woodmancy daughter of Richard Woodmancy and granddaughter of Gabriel Woodmancy late of New London in the county of New London and colony of CT deceased, for and in consideration of twenty pounds...paid by James Tilley of New London aforesaid-rope maker..have bargained and sold...three acres and an half more and less of land in New London aforesaid.. alas of in and unto a right on commonage in the common land land of New London containing about eight acres more or less with the apportion and whereof our said grandfather Gabriel Woodmancy died seized in full in fee and intestate and which descend to us, or one of us in right of the said Richard or of our uncles William, John, Gabriel Woodmancy, deceased...
per Delvene Bean:
Gabriel's parents were Thomas and Margaret Clement Woodmansee, Thomas was born in MA and died in Boston. She states Gabriel was born in Shrewsbury CT and died in New London CT.
Attempts to get verification of these facts from Mrs Bean as of 5/2002 have been unsuccessful.
