So much information available now it's hard to keep up. Your mother did extensive and invaluable research on the Woolsey family for which I have been grateful. At one time she had corresponded with my mother. I too am descendant from that family and tried to contact your mother. I found an old Dallas phone number for her and learned of her death. I am sorry for your loss. My purpose in trying to contact your mother was after my mother passed away in 2004 at the age of 93. Going through her papers I found considerable geneology information of which I queried another Woolsey descendant. That remarkable woman, my mother's cousin who died only last month at the age of 99, shared much information on the family with me. She also shared with me your mother's research document, some 30 pages of amazing research. What has happened to your mother's files since her death? I am trying to locate the source for specific documentation to which she refers in her family research papers. Last summer, while in the Dallas area for a few days, I visited the old Shiloh Cumberland Church near Red Oak. I spent all my time in the old cemetery where I documented and photographed numerous Billingsley gravestones. I spoke with the only other two visitors at the cemetery that afternoon only to discover they were Billingsleys and as such have been able to share that line of history with me as well. I am leaving for another search and find trip in a few days. This time in an attempt to locate the gravesite of Naomi Laura Billingsley Woolsey, wife of Josiah Patterson in the area of Waxahachie/Waco. Do you have any information on this woman? Hoping to hear from you soon. In kinship, MEG Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
