Ann Margareth was the wife of Thomas Woodmansee (1775-1857). Thomas Woodmansee was named for his grandfather, whose own grandfather, Thomas, was the first to settle in the budding colony that we today call Massachusetts. He was a Pilgrim. As time went by, some of the Woodmansee family moved to New Jersey, and then eventually, to Connecticut to practice their religious beliefs.
The Woodmansee's were of English origin. Ann Margareth was also English. Her father, John Taylor, had been an English soldier. After the American Revolution began, John deserted and in due course, became part of the colonial militia. It must have been a hard decision. There was little chance he would ever see his family or homeland again. His destiny lay ahead. After the Revolution, the opportunities were endless in this fledging nation. The British could no longer dictate where the colonists could go…. So a mass migration started toward the Mississippi. Both families were among those.
I don't know where or when the Taylor's met the Woodmansee's. However, Ann Margareth and Thomas' marriage was recorded in Greene, Pennsylvania. John, her father, was nearing 50 years old. There he and most of his family stayed. Mary and her husband stayed for a few years before moving on to Abington, Knox, Illinois.
The children mentioned in Mary's husband's will are sons George. Thomas, James, and John Wesley. Some believe there was also a daughter, Hannah, however, she does not appear in her husband's, Thomas' will. She may have died before the will was written. Daughter, Mary Angeline Barber, and some grandchildren are noted.
