The WOODMANS OF RHODE ISLAND is an actual and factual genealogical book about the Woodmans and related families and their descendants, researched and complied by a Woodman descendant. John Woodman first "appeared" in Newport circa 1663 and married Hannah Timberlake in 1676. They had three sons and five daughters.
The first three generations lived in Little Compton, but in the late 1700s (after the Revolutionary War) some of the Woodman families began to migrate West, to upstate New York and later to Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and California.
The family names range from Abbey to Zow, including but not limited to Brown, Brownell, Burgess, Cook, Grinnell, Howland, Laughlin, Manchester, Pearce, Peckham, Quackenbush, Roscoe, Simmons, Van Vleet, Wilbor and of course Woodman. Many collateral lines have been traced to the present also.
The author and family genealogist, Helen Denny Woodman, has spent over twenty years researching and compiling family data on the Woodman heritage. The WOODMANS OF RHODE ISLAND represents the fruit of that time and effort
