Here Woodman lived and kept the ferry "from Withers point to Strawberry banke." The town records say that 'John Woodman presenting his request to the Selectmen and others the inhabitants of this Town, for their approbation for his keeping a Ferry from Kittery to Strawberry Bank, as it was granted to him by the Court in the year 1692, which is granted by the town and voted accordingly by the Majr parte thereof.' In connection with this the following record is of interest. 'The town receiving a Citation from the General Court on the Petition of John Langdon to have a bridge from his Island to Kittery and to keep a Ferry from said Island to Portsmouth, May 12, 1792, the town voted an answer to said Citation, that in 1692 the County Court granted to John Woodman and his heirs and assigns the Privilege of keeping a Ferry from Kittery to Portsmouth and that in 1699 the town of Kittery gave their approbation and grant to said Woodman in like manner, and said Ferry had been in their possession to the present time as their Property in fee simple and that the town are of opinion that to take it from them without compensation would be unconstitutional.' When the bridge to Portsmouth was built, about 1828, some compensation was allowed to the heirs of John Woodman. Woodman sold his house and ferry to his son-in-law, John More, in 1724."
