That is better than just a good report. The name Caroline would be in the right direction too, because their youngest daughter is named Nole Caroline Woolsey. I have been looking at the on-line census, but not many are on-line. I sent a request for a local lookup in Cedar Co... MO for 1860 census. Asking for both WOOLSEY and RUTH. The return was "sorry" not found for those specific names. I don't have a WOOLSEY Cem. here in Texas, but most of my early family is buried at the Proctor Cem. This is near where the reunion in held and about eight miles east of Comanche, Texas off HW 377. This has been a very good day for my search, Thanks. Hollis D Woolsey

To Mildred Fritz "our Colorado cousin" and interested Woolsey researchers: I have just been posting the Cemeteries I have found (or have been sent to me) named WOOLSEY. But I am interested in every area where Woolseys are buried, so please send the burials and please keep them coming. Isn't these interesting!!

Thanks for the updated reports from WWW. I have been taking notes on each posting. I have been listing those Counties in Ill, MO, and some in TN where WOOLSEYs are found and in what range of years. Hope this might help me later on. I too did not find My John Johnson Woolsey or his wife R. Milda Ruth in the Ill county where she was believed to have been born. In fact no Woolsey or Ruth at all there in 1860 Census. I have found a good number of Ruths in Cedar Co. Mo. where they were married 1873. Oh well, good digging. Hollis D Woolsey

On the Hamilton County, Nebr. mailing list a lady was offering to send information from clippings she had kept over the years. One of the names listed was Sarah Woolsey. Of course I sent that e-mail off right away to ask for the information and she sent the following. "Sarah Woolsey, 77 Is Laid to Rest Funeral services for Sarah Woolsey, 77, longtime resident of the county, were held from the Chapman-Higby Chapel on Thursday February 17, 1949 at 2 o'clock, Elder A. A. Dirwsen, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church of Grand Island was in charge of the services. Beverly Little, Carolyn Miller and Mary Ann Bunley of the Platte Valley Academy sang "The Beautiful Land", "My Ivory Palace Home" and "Sweet Be Thy Rest" accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Charles Whitney. Miss Sarah Woolsey, was born in the State of Illinois, Champaign County, January 9, 1872. She was the daughter of Alonza and Elizabeth Woolsey. She came with her parents, in the early life, and together, as a family the Woolseys settled in Hamilton County, near Aurora, Nebraska. The days of her life were spent in deeds of kindness and mercy, in and near Aurora. She went to her rest, Monday, February 14, at the ripe age of 77 years, 1 month and fifteen days, sweetly trusting in the Mercy of her Master whom she had served faithfully since in early childhood. We have faith to believe that she sweetly rests in Jesus awaiting the Call of the Lifegiver, in that great day when the sounding of the trumpet of God and the Voice of the archangel will call to life "the dead in Christ" to receive their reward for the life they have lived. She leaves to mourn her passing, two brothers, W. S. Woolsey of Dalton, Nebraska, and Grant Woolsey of Ogallala, Nebraska; two sisters and two brothers, having preceded her in death. As a young lady, she learned to know the Message of a Soon-coming Saviour. To be ready to greet her Saviour in peace, at his Coming has ever been the hope and ambition of her life. As a faithful member in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, until the date of her demise she will be greatly missed. The little city of Aurora, has lost a Christian friend, a Dorcas, a Tabitha. "Full of good works". In her community she will be greatly missed, as a friend and neighbor. God's promise to His children, comes to us like a star of hope, in an hour like this, they rest from their labors; their works to follow them. Until that great day when all tears shall be wiped away, may God comfort all who mourn. Pallbearers were Elmer Eberhardt, Roy DeMaranville, Floyd Hoffman, Walter Craft, Floyd Carnes and Harry Gallentine."

To any interested Woolsey researchers: When I stated in a recent posting that I now had 10 Woolsey cemeteries, I believe I was counting the Oklahoma Cemetery twice.

Hi Wilford, > This makes 10 Woolsey Cemeteries. Does anyone know of others? No, I'm sorry that I do not know of any other WOOLSEY cemeteries, but I am definitely enjoying your postings. Thanks for your continued diligent work! Chuck

To any interested Woolsey Researchers - And particularly Descendants of Joseph Woolsey & Abigail Schaeffer. It isn't often that I get to write about my own direct ancestors on the Woolsey List. I recently received an interesting post from Cindy Woolsey, whose husband is a direct descendant of John Woolsey and Jane Haley, concerning cemeteries in Marion Co., and Fayette County, Illinois, where some of their Woolseys are buried. My great grandmother Sarah Woolsey (who md George Washington Hickerson) came to Utah in 1848. She had an older brother (the above named) John Woolsey who had married and remained in Fayette County, Illinois. John Woolsey was born about 1810, probably near Fishing Creek, in Lincoln (Pulaski) County, Kentucky, son of Joseph Woolsey and Abigail Schaeffer. John Woolsey died 12 Mar 1847 in Fayette County, Illinois. There are several records in the "Fayette Facts" quarterly genealogical publication. 1. John Woolsey owed the estate of Benjamin Farmer, abt 1840. 2. John Woolsey was on a jury, with others to determine the cause of death of one Aaron Robertson, whose body was found 12 Aug 1841 "near his house on Four Mile Prairie and Hickry Creak". 3. John Woolsey enlisted as a private in Capt. Stout's Co., the Third Regiment of Illinois Volunteeres commanded by Col. Ferris Foreman, at Alton, IL, on 21 Jun 1846, for service in the Mexican War. He was Discharged at Brasos Santiago on 12 Aug 1846 "for disability", according to statements made by Benjamin H. Haley (a relative of his wife) and Thomas Gatewood (a brother-in-law who married John Woolsey's sister Nancy, who also remained in Illinois) 4. In Feb 1847 John D. Lee (Mormon Elder and husband of Agatha & Rachel Woolsey, John Woolsey's sisters who did come to Utah) wrote "a letter to John Henigar, T. Gatewood, and John Woolsey". (John Henigar (Henniger)[md Elizabeth Woolsey] and Thomas Gatewood [md Nancy Woolsey] had married sisters of John Woolsey). It would be most interesting if those letters could be found in the home of an Illinois descendant!! 5. Fayette Co, IL MARRIAGE RECORDS 1821 - 1877. George King and Jane Haley, lic. 8 Mar 1828, both of age. md 13 Mar 1828 by Francis Brown, J. PO. Book Old A:3, 1.34. 6. Fayette Co, IL MARRIAGE RECORDS 1821 - 1877.

James Tucker and Jane Wolsey, Lic 5 Nov 1853, both of age, md 10 Nov 1853 by B. W. Thompson, J.P. Book Old A:47, 1.29. 8. These marriage records should clear up a great deal of misinformation in the IGI and Ancestral Files. Researchers in the past have different Woolseys marrying Jane King, Jane Haley, or Jane Woolsey, ad infinitum. But Jane Haley md 1) George King, then 2) as Jane Haley md John Woolsey, and as Jane Woolsey, md 3) James Tucker. 9. Fayette Co, IL Probate Records FHL# 1316712. John Woolsey, dec'd.

Does anyone have any letters or pictures of descendants? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

To any interested Woolsey researcher: Here is another Woolsey Cemetery: Young, Marjorie Lewis. 1633 Dorothy Drive, Grand Prairie, Texas 75051. (214) 262-7041. 1994. "OUR WOOLSEY FAMILY". The Woolsey burial ground is located in the pasture of their land near Farmington, Washington Co., Arkansas. The cemetery is surrounded by an iron fence. Fieldstones mark each grave. In the center is one large marker naming the family buried there. The inscription reads: Their bodies are buried in dust But their names shall live for evermore. They are: Samuel [Gilbert] Woolsey 1791 - 1858 [s/o John Woolsey III & Mary Gilbert] Matilda Woolsey 1794 - 1871 [w/o Samuel Woolsey] Jane Woodruff 1819 - 1848 [Jane Woolsey, d/o Samuel & Mary; w/o William Woodruff] Gilbert [Clark]] Woolsey 1821 - 1851 [s/o Samuel Woolsey & Mary] Laurana Woolsey 1827 - 1908 [d/o Samuel & Mary] Louisa Woolsey 1827 - 1919 [d/o Samuel & Mary] Greene S. Woolsey 1832 - 1845 [s/o Samuel & Mary] [There is a picture (poor and very dark) of a large monument settled among imposing trees.] [The above notes are by www but are from various records, including those of Marjorie Lewis Young.] This makes 10 Woolsey Cemeteries. Does anyone know of others? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

Wilford, please keep posting these! We do appreciate your work and I'm sorry there was no feedback right away - this is priceless info, esp the last one from the Morgan IL cemetery. Many thanks to you for this information too...I am related to the WOOLSEY's of Ohio, Samuel who Married Margaret WINSLOW. One of their decendents (Samuel LONGWELL) moved to Knox County Illinois (Maquon) in the mid 1800's and I've found records of WOOLSEY's living in this town at the same time - I am not sure but believe they were cousins. Unfortunatley I do not have the details, but remember some clan wars among this tribe --- I seem to recall one of the in-laws bit the finger off one of his relatives...... Wish I could remember more - short term memory is miserable. I blame it on being a parent of a 6 and 3 year old --- my brain is crammed with kiddies stuff, no room for retaining history right now. But once again, thank you for this great info! Great work!

Good Day and thanks a million for the work on Ill. census. This info can be of great use later on even if there is not a direct hit on my target. I think the Mo, list might be more on target for me. I truly appreciate your attention toward that. Will look forward to the next group meeting Hollis Don Woolsey

To Hollis Don Woolsey, Arlington, TX and any interested Woolsey reseachers: I am in the process of "running" the census records for Woolseys in various states. I have just finished the Woolseys [and their various spellings] in the State of Illinois. I was hoping to find a JOHN J. Woolsey but of course, not to be so lucky. But the only one I found born about 1853 was one John Woolsey, b 1854, [age 6 in the 1860 Grundy Co., ILL census], son of William (age 36, b NY)and Sarah (age 34, b PA] (and I don't know who William's parents are, yet). You stated that your John's father was born in Tennesse, so this is probably not your family, but it is the only one close that I found in the 1860 census. But of course, they could have moved from Illinois before the 1860 census. Now I have the following Census records for Illinois: 1820 - 1 family 1830 - 7 families 1840 - 15 families 1850 - 29 families 1860 - 52 families 1870 - 63 families 1880 - Need to do this yet. >From 1820 to 1870 there are 167 families in 38 counties in the Census records. Of course, some of them are duplicated in ensuing years. And they moved a great deal. The Woolseys came into Illinois from the following states: New York Pennsylvania Ohio Wisconsin Kentucky Virginia and others I also have 220 Woolsey marriages in 31 counties in Illinos, and am adding to that list frequently. Naively, I thought that I would answer many questions with this work completed, but I find that where I answer one question, three new ones pop up!! I find it interesting that one of the Illinois Woolsey families moved from Illinois to Yakima County, Washington, where I grew up. Some of them lived in Ahtanum Canyon (between Yakima and Ellensurg) where I spent a lot of my young years hunting and fishing, high in the mountains. [In fact, there are quite a few Woolsey families in Oregon and Washington.] Next, I'll start on the Missouri Census. I have done this hit and miss, but now I'll check every Woolsey in Missouri for those census years. Enough for now. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

To any interested Woolsey researchers: I have started to collect Books by and about Woolseys. The following list are books that I have in my possession at the present time. They do not include any genealogical works on, or by, or about the Woolsey family. That is for another list, another time. 1. Woolsey, Jane Stuart. HOSPITAL DAYS. Reminiscence of a Civil War Nurse.

Good afternoon list members, Do you ever have one of those days where it would have been best on your stress level to stay in bed - this has been one of those days. Got up this am and the computer was down. After paying $45 to some jerk at Packard Bell who didn't know the back way in to save my files I had to just reformat. This dumb jerk should learn how to save her files in the first place and learn all about this computer if I'm going to work it. If any of you who have websites have a link to mine please take it off. My ISP sent a message stating that they are no longer going to be in business. My new e-mail address is: carolynw46@yahoo.com unless Yahoo goes under I'll be there for the duration. Needless to say I lost all my e-mail address so would appreciate a few e-mails from "ya all" so I can keep in contact. I have been getting on the greedy side lately wanting to buy a few luxury's and the Good Lord seen fit to give me a job that I had been praying for so now I have to get a life instead of play with my genealogy all the time. Isn't that a crack up. Still haven't learned to keep my mouth shut when I'm well off - of course I know I'm the only one out here like that. You all have a great day and happy week. Sincerely, Carolyn Woolsey Wilkerson ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
