Southampton Town Records show one adult John Woodruff of the period as a member of the Gosmer household.
John II and Anne had four children – two sons and two daughters – all step-grandchildren of John Gosmer. Both of their sons bore the name John, so they both were, technically, John III. The younger, our ancestor, was called John Jr. or “the Younger Brother”.
