    1. [NY-ULSTER] WOOLSEY Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the WOOLSEY Family of Ulster County, New York. The first photograph is one of David WOOLSEY which was taken at the T. D. Lewis Studio in Kingston, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with David likely in his 50's or 60's at the time. In addition to his name, someone has written "My Great Grandpa" and what appears to be the word "Hunst". The second photograph is one of Susan WOOLSEY, taken at the same studio in Kingston, likely at the same time in the 1880's. Susan appears to be in her 40's or 50's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has also written "My great Grandma" and the word "Hunst" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this couple: David E. WOOLSEY b. 13 Feb 1823 in Lloyd, NY, his father was Clinton WOOLSEY. Census records provide the following information: 1860 census of Marbletown, NY: David E. WOOLSEY, age 38, a Farmer, born NY Susan J.
