And here is a qoute from your source that said they lived in mirkwood.

"In  T.A.  1636 the  Great Plague affected Mirkwood [3]  but it is not recorded how the woodmen fared."

though they around the time of the hobbit, some(they most likely became to many for their old land to feed them)migrated north and cut down the trees and settled along the rivers and in the valleys. Thus it can be assumed that a good many woodmen lived in/on the edges of southern mirkwood though most likely not beneath the narrows as dol guldur would scare them and the balcoth  remnants lived there.

Just continuing on, It said they moved north, and some of those moving became beornings. Also, The Plague hit all of Rhovanion and other places, it doesn't mean Woodmen were in the forest, since you know, it wasn't recorded amoungst other evidence.

Plus, They lived in the forest after all the evil stuff was gone, that forest is literally inhabitable currently.
