Author: MIchael B. Gunn
Born on December 27, 1754 in Monmouth Co. New Jersey to parents David (1719-1799) & Penelope Warden (1728-1805) Woodmansee.

He served in the Monmouth County Militia during the Revolutionary War in Caption John Stout’s Co on April 2, 1776.

He married Aulice Jeffrey (1761-1836); Children: Job, Mary, David, Samuel, Frances, Isaac, James, Alice, Phebe Ann, Lydie, Penelope & Hannah.

He died on April 26, 1837 in Highland Co., OH and buried at Highland Cemetery, 7828 OSRte 28, Highland Co., OH 45132.

Samuel was the fourth child of David and Penelope. He joined three of his brothers and cousins in the Monmouth Co. Militia during the Revolutionary War under Captain Stout’s Company. He married Aulice and had at least twelve children which they raised on their land in New Jersey. In 1809 Samuel and two of his sons-in-law bought land for the Good Luck Church at Lanoka Harbor. A number of the family are buried there in the Churchyard Cemetery where some old limestone markers may still be seen. Samuel and his wife are not buried there as they left in 1818 to relocate in Highland County, Ohio.

All except three of their children followed their parents to Ohio, although it is not known the method of travel. They settled in that location as it was part of the “Virginia Military District”, land set aside for soldiers of the Revolution in lieu of cash payment for the service rendered during the war. Some sold their land rather than settling on it. One of them, Lieutenant Joseph Conway received a large portion, had it surveyed, and after his death it was sold by his heirs. Samuel's land was part of this Joseph Conway survey. Samuel and Aluice are the earlist marked graves and are located next to the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Highland (formerly Lexington) Cemetery.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
