Treasure Chest Thursday ... The Will of Thomas Woodmansee Sr 1670 - 1733

Thomas Woodmansee Sr is my 7th great grandfather on my father side of the family.
He was born 17th of September 1670 in New London , Connecticut and passed away the 22nd of September 1733 in Shrewsbury , Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Thomas married Mary Ware and together they had at least 10 children according to his will.

I found his will on ancestry at New Jersey Abstract of Wills .
