My name is David Charles Woodin of Waterford, NY.I am the great-great-great grandson of David G. Woodin (born July 8, 1798, died Feb 24, 1879).I have been researching this family for some years.About 30 minutes ago, I did a Google search on Woodin's and wound up in the Genealogy.com site where I found your message.
David G. Woodin was the first superintendent of schools in Kinderhook, NY where his gravesite is located within 100 feet of President Martin VanBuren's grave.Sarah Roraback was his second wife (born circa 1808, died August 15, 1870.Laura Ford Woodin was his first wife.Between the two there were at least eleven children.There has been some problems verifying all of them.I am descended from his son John (born Sept 18, 1828)whose mother was Laura Ford Woodin (died September 30, 1831).
Descendants of the Roraback family still lives in the area, but I hae not met them.A few years ago, a new gravestone replaced the old stone.
The Illinois connection comes from daughter Laura Ann Woodin (daughter of Sarah) (born Jan 1, 1836, died Jan 20, 1916).She married a Reuben Moore Benjamin (born June 29, 1839).I am aware that he was a lawyer and had some involvement with President Lincoln.
Kate (1839 - Feb 11, 1901) never married and took care of her father in his dying days.
I have more info on Reuben and Laura, but my records are spread out and I need a few days to get them back in order.
I have never seen a photo of David G. or Sarah Roraback.
Are you related to the family?There are several other people who have been tracing this family.We go back to a Peter Woodin (1732-1785?) who left Connecticut and was one of the original settlers of Mt. Washington, MA on the CT/MA/NY border.Nobody has been able to go back further.
