[36413]

This person is from the unverified "John's Family Tree" in Ancestry.com in 2014; an attached file offers:

John and his wife Mary settled in that part of Dover known as Oyster River (now the town of Durham, NH).

His will was written Dec 20, 1705 and was proved Feb 4, 1706/7. He is buried in Durham, NH. The death of John, the first son of Capt. John Woodman, was recorded in the "Journal of Rev. John Pike" as follows: June 10, 1705 - deceased ye Revd Michael Wigglesworth of Malden on ye Sabbath day. The same day died John Woodman, June of Oyster River.

Shortly after his marriage, John removed to Dover, where he was accepted as an inhabitant, June 17, 1657. Town records show he had a land grant of 100 acres, November 10, 1658, another grant January 10. 1659 and a grant soon after, which reads in part: "Given & granted by ye selectmen & with ye approbation of ye majr part of ye inhabitants of Oyster River as appears under the selectmen's hand ye 30yh 7th month '60 unto John Woodman, his heirs & assigns, Twenty Acres of Land at ye west side of Wm Beard's Creek & . . . "

It was the above recorded 20 acres that Capt. Woodman built his garrison house. It was built on an elevated spot with a commanding view of the river and surronding area, where it could be easily defended. The unsucessful Indian attack of 1694 was proof of his wisdom. That year the settlement at Oyster River was attacked by Indians of the Penobscot and Norredgewog tribes, under the leadership of Villieu, a French missionary. The settlement had 12 garrisoned houses for the protection of the inhabitants. Of the 12, five were distroyed, seven successfully defended, including the Woodman Garrison. This house, with bullets sill in its logs, was accidentally burned in 1896. The hearthstone from the garrison is at the front of the Oyster River Middle School in Durham, with a plaque reading: "Hearthstone of Woodman Garrison, 1659-1896."

John Woodman took the "freeman's oath", May 22, 1666. He attained the rank of Captain of the militia at Oyster River and "remained in active service till he was three score and ten years of age, vigorous and alert." Captain Woodman was one of the outstanding men of the province. He served as selectman of the town for several years; Justice of the Court of Comman Pleas, 1702-1706; Deputy for Dover to the Provincial Assembly in 1684, 1682, 1696, 1699 and 1703 until the time of his death.

The settlement at Oyster River petitioned the General Court in Boston to be made a separate parish from Dover. They elected Capt. John Woodman to present the petition at the court, May 17, 1669.

In 1685 Capt. Woodman, John Woodman, Jr. and Jonathan Woodman, signed the petition which Nathaniel Weare carried to England for "redress from the tyranny of Gov. Cranfield."

The second wife of Capt. John Woodman was the widow of Lieut. James Huckins, slain at Oyster River in the massacre of 1694. During the attack she was carried into captivity by the Indians and not recovered until a year later at Fort Androscoggin.

The book "American Commonwealths" by Frank B. Sanborn states: "The struggle by New Hampshire to break away from Massachusetts came to a conclusion when the commissioners of Exeter, Hampton, Dover, and Portsmouth prepared a simple constitution, the first by popular initiative ever submitted to the people for adoption. This was January 24, 1690. The convention held for this purpose was made up of the leading men in each town, 22 men total. The names of these 22 men are signed to the draft of this constitution, only one copy of which is known to exist." Captain John Woodman signed for the town of Dover.

On July 26, 1700 Capt. John Woodman of Oyster River wrote to his daughter, Mary (Woodman) Small at "Monamey (Monomoit - now Chatam, Massachusetts): [Son Edward and daughter Mery Smalle]

A store of love to you by thes you may knowe that I received yours and that we ar not without feres of further trobeles by the Indons by reson thereof I can not advyss you to macke anny prparation Hommard untill wee heve further proved thay r keeping of the peace - - - - wee ar all in Rosenebel goo haith threw gods marsy - - - -from your Loving father, John Woodman"
