    1. [DESUSSEX] Given name of Woolman
    2. Joana Donovan
    3. I have found Woolman Donovan in the 1785 Tax Assessment List for Broadkill Hd., Sussex County. The name appears again, as Woolman and Woolman L[an]d Donovan, in the reconstructed 1790 census, the 1800 Census, and in the Georgetown Tax List of 1833. Obviously, Woolman was a given name used during this time period. My question is: could Woolman have been later written as William? Or are these two distinctly different names? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joana S. Donovan
