John Thomas Woolsey married Sarah Ann Constant 1848 in Auglaize Co, OH. Children born to them were William Isaac (died while crossing White River) Emaline,Amanda Ella, George, John Wesley, Charles T.,and Minnie Revina who married a Will Johnson. John Thomas Woolsey died 1891 in Tabor,IA I feel that John Thomas very likely had kin in the Freemont Co, IA . My E-mail address is Drsanddms@aol.com Delores Stover PS these Woolseys were in Fremont Co in the 1860 census --part1_d2.124274d.25e56617_boundary--

Since some parts of the country are having bad weather, I hope you WOOLSEY reseachers have your WOOLIES on. This afternoon I was (as usual) looking for something else and found the following: 1830 Menamac (Meramac) Township, Washington Co., MO., Page 71 , fifth line from bottom of page. WOOLSEY, JOSEPH: Males,0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0 I hope this is of help to someone. I previously found James WOOLSEY and Thomas WOOLSEY in Harmony Twp, Washington Co. 1830. James WOOLSEY is in Liberty Twp., Washington Co., 1840. Who does the James WOOLSEY,age 36, shown in Union Twp, Crawford Co., MO., in 1860 with his wife Anna, and 6 children) belong to? So many questions, and so few answers. Marketta in Madera, geographical center of CA.

To all interested Woolsey Researchers: I just finished checking out the 514 (first time I checked) and now 511 references to the WOOLSEY name in Library of Congress on-line catalogs. There are several references and books that I have. I do not have the following references which seem to me quite interesting and I would like to obtain a copy, if possible. Does anyone live near the Washington, D.C. area, who could visit the Library of Congress and obtain these? I will have to check with the Library of Congress and find out how we can get a copy. 1. Dix, Emily Woolsey (Soutter) "Reminiscences of the Knox and Soutter Families of VA," written for her children. 2. Woolsey, Nell Cramer "Pathways east and west." 1948 (Nelly C. Woolsey was an early 1900's researcher who kept up an extensive correspondence with my grandmother and with Herbert Wood of New York. Much of what we have today comes from them. www) 3. Claypool, Edward A. "Descendants of Col. Jacob Griffin & Ruth Woolsey. 1900." (I found what is perhaps a copy of this when I searched the New York Gen. & Bio. Soc. Library. It was very difficult to read and decipher.) 4. Woolsey, Lester Hood. "Papers of Lester Hood Woolsey, 1831-1958. bulk 1909-1928" I don't this one. 5. Woolsey, Thomas "Heaven is near the Rocky Mountains: the journals and letters of Thomas Woolsey (1855-1869)". ed by Hugh A. Dempsey. I don't have this and am extremely curious as to its contents. 6. Rugeley, Helen Hoskins. "Cloud, Woolsey and allied families" - data compiled by Rosa (Woolsey) Howze. et al. 1987. I don't know this one, either, but looks interesting. Of course, there are many, many others, of which I have several, but these looked the most promising, of the ones I don't have. eBay.com and Amazon.com have many Woolsey items, also. Check them out. Quite interesting. Any suggestions? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

Dear list members: After reading my message to the list I wanted to make something very clear and that is that Wilford is my friend and it wasn't anything he did that made me take my web page down. It was that he opened my eyes to something that was happening - not with my website - and after taking the time to look into the situation I felt it best to take the page down and only put it back if I found a more workable situation. Wilford is one great gentleman that has given so much of himself and his work and has helped me asking nothing in return. (My apologizes Wilford - like I open my mouth and insert my foot.) It seems that I have such a serious tone when I write and that isn't my intentions - back to school Carolyn!!! Thank you for your care and encouragement. You really are a great group of people!!! It is my intentions to work on the database - update the information - get some warnings on the pages in RED - and then let those who want information to take it at their own risk <smile>.

To All Interested Woolsey Researchers: Carolyn Wilkerson wondered about Stephen Woolsey, so I submit the following: As to Stephen Woolsey: Caroline, I have 17 Stephen Woolseys in my data base. Six of them are from New York and needn't concern us at this time. 1. Stephen Woolsey b abt 1825 in Indiana is prob the s/o Jacob C. Woolsey of Illinois and Utah. Three of them are too late: 2. Stephen Woolsey b 1851, in UT, grandson of Jacob C. Woolsey of Illinois and Utah. 3. Stephen DeKalb Woolsey b 1845, TN s/o Wm Bonaparte Woolsey and Alice Bird. 4. Stephen Marion Woolsey b 1846, MO, s/o James Woolsey and Elizabeth T., of TN. This Stephen Marion Woolsey md a Miss _______ Brown and had a son Stephen Marion Woolsey, b 1885. The next two end up in Texas so are not part of this Missouri group. They may be one and the same person. 5. Stephen F. (M.) Woolsey b. abt 1832 md Serena Hunt 3 Dec 1862 in Hopkins County, Texas. As I look at my records, the above Stephen F. (M.) Woolsey may be the following Stephen, because his father was in Rusk County, Texas. 6. Stephen M. Woolsey b 1832 in Buncombe Co., NC, s/o Thomas Woolsey and Elizabeth Tucker and maybe #5 above..?? So I have the above 6 plus the 6 from New York for 12 Stephens. The remaining five are as follows: 1. Stephen Woolsey b abt 1817 md in Cooper Co., MO 3 Oct 1839 to Mary Polly Shirley. I don't know where he fits in. 2. Stephen Woolsey b 1813 Greene Co, TN s/o Gilbert Woolsey and Abigail (nee Woolsey). Stephen Woolsey md 1) Linda Ann (Liddy) Hubbs and md 2) Abigail Woolsey. 3. Stephen Curtis Woolsey b 1816, TN, s/o Nehemiah Woolsey and Ruth Curtis. Stephen Curtis Woolsey md in Carroll Co., MO 5 Aug 1838 Elizabeth Alcoline Canton (Caton). [Could this also be Stephen above who md Mary Polly Shirley???] 4. Stephen Madison Woolsey b 1832, TN, s/o Thomas Woolsey and Rutha Hubbs, md 1) Abigail _____ (I'm not sure of this marriage) and md 2) in Livingston Co., MO 18 Jul 1856 to Martha McClure. 7 children. 5. Stephen Marion Woolsey b 1819, TN, s/o William Woolsey and Sarah (nee Woolsey) of Greene Co., TN. Stephen Marion Woolsey md in Washington Co., TN 30 May 1843 to Rachel M. Bayless and had nine children. Disclaimer: Although I believe the above is fairly correct, I am amenable to changes that could be made to them (with adequate documentation.) Thank you for all you have done and for all you do for the Woolsey family. I don't know what I'd do without you. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

Dear Carolyn, I had been to your page and saw that nothing was there and noted that it was down for repair. I am sad that you have taken your great site down. I have enjoyed visiting your page and visiting with you. My thoughts on this...in the old days, before internet, folks often spent many many years researching and compiling data on their family. A couple of things have changed since then. Folks can often compile data in a matter of hours on their family from the internet...but the research and documentation still takes the effort of time. Genealogy is an "in" thing to do right now. I loved it even back when it was a "square" thing to be interested in. I think now adays folks are often more interested in the number of individuals in their database rather than knowing anything that actually went on in the lives of those before us...they don't know what they are missing. I hope that your site returns soon, so that those who appreciate your effort can once again visit. The others who are simply out copying the works of others won't miss you, for they did not know what you were offering. Love you Carloyn!

Several weeks ago I subscribed to the Rootsweb's Ethics Mailing List to see what the pros had to say. Last week I took my website down - guess that will tell you what I learned. Please don't think I am saying that anyone else do the same!! I just realized (after my buddy Wilford whispered in my ear) that I needed to stop passing along bad information. To my defense please know that my intention was honorable in believing that by putting the information on the website that others would notify me that my information was wrong; that it might become a directory site for researchers to contact other researchers of their family line; and to give me pleasure in putting as many Woolsey's on the tree as possible. Results of my efforts: Some people did write in and give me the correct information. Many people added information. Many people found their place on the tree. Many people took information and gave nothing in return Many people took information that was wrong and it has just compounded the problem of trying to get the wrongs corrected. Oh well hang me - the majority of these ancestors are dead and could give a care less while the rest of us run up our blood pressure and cause emotional stress on our hearts trying to join them. My sincere apology to anyone who has obtained wrong information from me. >>>Following is a message from the Ethics list that I thought might be of interest to some of you: Dear List, How many of you have heard of the case of Gustave Anjou? Gustave Anjou was one of America's most imfamous Genealogy forgers. He went so far as to create from scratch, by "aging" paper and ink, false documents, i.e. wills, deeds, marriage certificates, etc. He ran a bogus Genealogy research firm in the early 1900s in New York City, and charged a whopping $9000 dollars to compile a phony lineage. Anjou had many wealthy and notable clients, including Cyrus Hall McCormick inventor of the reaper. Some of Anjou's clients later sued, rightly charging "We Wuz Robbed" Anjou's calumny was finally exposed, and he died in 1942. Why is his story inportant today, because despite efforts by some professional genealogists to have the documents removed, they remain in some genealogy archives. It just so happens that I am researching one of the surnames that is in Anjou's records. I am very concerned about this, because I've seen this surname on the web with charts that I think may contain information from Anjou's records- phony lineages and bogus history. I would like to find copies of the Anjou charts. Does anybody on the list know anything about Gustave Anjou and his phony charts? Here are the URLs for more information about Anjou. http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm http://www.wf.net/~jyates/myth.htm http://www.msstate.edu/listarchives/afrigeneas/199908/msg00040.html www.inmind.com/people/dcooper/su98newsletter.html I would appreciate some feed back.

DEAR CAROLYN AND OTHER WOOLSEY COUSINS, MY HEART IS SADDEN THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO HURT OTHERS IN THE QUEST FOR LEARNING ABOUT OUR ANCESTORS. IN SHARING, WE ALL MAY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT WE ARE ALL TRYING. A LINK WITH THE PAST HELPS US TO KNOW WHO WE ARE AND INCREASES OUR LOVE FOR OUR ANCESTORS. YES, THERE ARE MISTAKES BUT IF ONE KNOWS IT FOR SURE THEY CAN SHARE THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND CLEAR IT UP. IF NOT, THEN DO RESEARCH AND THEN SHARE IT. I PERSONALLY WANT CAROLYN TO KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE HER WEB PAGE AND MOST OF ALL GETTING TO KNOW HER. THANK YOU CAROLYN FOR ADDING JOY TO MY QUEST FOR MY ANCESTORS. THANKS TO WILFORD W. ALSO AND TO ALL OF YOU. IT IS A JOY TO BE PART OF THIS WOOLSEY FAMILY. MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL REMEMBER THAT THEIR BLOOD RUNS THROUGH OUR VEINS...THEY WERE GOD FEARING, JUST AND GOOD PEOPLE...PERFECT NO. NEITHER ARE WE...LETS ALL TRY AND HELP EACH OTHER AND DO THE BEST WE CAN...COME ON BACK CAROLYN....IF WE STATE ON OUR RECORDS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW SOMETHING FOR SURE..THEN THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE VIEWED, AND ALL PITCH IN TO FIND THE RECORDS. THANKS AGAIN CAROLYN...DON'T BE DISCOURAGED...WE LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TREMENDOUSLY. THANKS TO ALL AGAIN. COUSIN RACHEL BREWER IN FLORIDA.

To all interested Woolseys: A little research into my data base and I find that Thomas Woolsey who appears in the 1830 and 1840 census of Buncombe Co, NC is the same Thomas with wife Elizabeth (Tucker) of the 1850 Rusk Co., Texas Census, with 9 children, all born in NC and probably all born in Buncombe Co., NC. Gilbert Woolsey who appears in the 1840 Buncombe Co., NC census is the same who md Hannah Tucker 4 Oct 1832 in Washington Co., TN. They had 10 daus and Gilbert is said to have died in 1864 in the infamous Andersonville Prison. Thomas Woolsey and his brother Rev. Gilbert Woolsey, a minister of the Free Will Baptist church, were the sons of William Woolsey and Sarah nee Woolsey, of Greene Co., TN. Another Woolsey place name: Just outside of Asheville, Buncombe Co., NC is a former suburb of Asheville, known as Woolsey, now known as Woolsey Dip, at the intersection of Merrimon Ave and Chatham road. In 1888, in the "Asheville Methodist" publication, reporting on the "Holston Conference" (Methodist Church), in a list of Local Preachers elected to Elder was one John Woolsey, otherwise not identified. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

He md 1) 14 Aug 1823, Greene Co., TN to Elizabeth MYERS. I don't have any children from this marriage. He md 2) 28 Jul 1825, Greene Co., TN to Polly Harrison. She died before 1845. They had the two children in the census: 1. Abigail Woolsey b 1833, TN 2. Rachael Woolsey b 1835, TN William F. Woolsey md 3) 18 Feb 1845, in Livingston Co., MO to Elizabeth Tomlin and I think they are the parents of the other girl in the 1850 census: 3. Loveann Woolsey b 1845, MO William Franklin Woolsey is the son of Gilbert and Abigail, who are also in the 1850 census of Atchison Co., MO. Now as regards Abigail Woolsey who md Washington Lafayette Zuck - different people have postulated different Abigails, so here is my contribution to the mix: George Woolsey (Rev. Thomas Woolsey) and Mary Hopkins had a son Jeremiah (Jerry) Woolsey, who md abt 1807 to Mary Polly Stephans (we get her name from her headstone in Wood Cemetery in Fentress co.) in Fentress Co., TN. They are in the 1850 Fentress Co., TN census as follows: Woolsey, Jeremiah 68 m VA Polly 65 f PA Geo 32 m TN Anny 30 f TN Sarah 25 f TN Eliza 23 f TN Matilda 22 f TN Abigail 21 f TN (b. 1829) Hines, James 18 m VA The only problem with this is that Abigail may still be in the 1860 Fentress Co., TN Census as follows: Woolsey, George 37 m TN Mary 73 f PA Anna 38 f TN Sarah 28 f TN Abigail 24 f TN (b. 1836) Could this be another Abigail?? probably not, but ... Any one have any other suggestions?? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

To Norb Woolsey and other interested Woolseys: I have been aware of some Woolseys in NC so I spent 9 hours in the library today looking at NC and SC census and other records. First, I have only available postoffices in the U.S. so there may have been a Greenport in either NC or SC, but not a post office. There is only a Greenport, Long Island, Suffolk Co., NY and only a Greenpoint, a station in Brooklyn, NY. Second: North Carolina Census Records: 1790 - Woolsey, Joel - Halifax Dist. Halifax Co. p. 63 1 2 2 0 4 Wosley, William - Salisbury Dist. Rowan Co. p. 175 1 4 1 0 0 Joel Woolsey is the only one who qualifies as a Woolsey.

Thomas Woolsey is the only Woolsey in this bunch.

Does anyone known which ones? I found nothing further in Buncombe Co., NC, books from the shelves in the library. 1850 - Woosley, Joseph - Forsythe Co. p. 245. Woosley, William - Forsythe Co. p. 245. Woosley, William - Davidson Co. p. 268. Woosley, William A. - Forsythe Co. p. 248. None of these names qualify as a Woolsey. 1860 - Nil 1870 - Wolsey, N. M. age 16 male born NC Henderson Twp Granville Co., NC p. 197. - Woolsey, Arthur age 14 male b. VA also in Henderson twp, Granville Co., NC p. 228. There is a fair amount of information in the Halifax Co., NC records regarding Joel Woolsey and relatives. He is the son of Jacob Woolsey, who came (as a transportee from England) to King William County, VA in the early part of the 1700's and then moved to Brunswick Co., VA where he had a large family, including Joel Woolsey. Some of this family came to Tennessee but there doesn't seem to be any connection to our New York family of Woolseys. I have had to try to research both families, so I can keep them straight. I don't find a James Woolsey in this Brunswick Co., VA family, so I don't think we have to worry about James Woolsey being a member of this England to Virginia family. Joel Woolsey also shows up in Georgia records. More of that later. Thirdly: South Carolina Census Records: 1790 - NIL 1800 - NIL 1810 - NIL 1820 - NIL 1830 - NIL 1840 - Woolsey, Nathaniel - Chesterfield Co. p. 117 1850 - Wolsey, Catharine - Edgefield p. 198 - "The Cist." I don't know who these two are, though Nathaniel could be a son of Joel Woolsey. 1860 - Wollsey, Ellen - Edgefield - Ridge age 16, b S. C. "operative" p. 25. - Wolsey, Mr. - Charleston - Ward A p. 316. I don't know who these are. 1870 - Woolsey, Daniel age 65, born England Edgefield Shaw's Creek - Woolsey, David or Danile, at Edgefield, Shaw's Creek - Woolsey, Joseph age 27 - Richland - Columbia b. Ireland Surprise, here we have an English - Irish family of SC. This reminds me, there is an English Woolsey family (from England) before 1850 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois. So there you have it. The only surprise are the Woolseys in Buncombe Co., NC, from 1830 through 1840., who must belong to the Tennessee families of Woolseys. I don't believe I can get much more from the records here at the library. I went through every book on the shelves for those counties. If anyone can add to this, I would be interested. Thank you. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

I'll take your last query first. Yes, you are correct. Engida is a niece of Stephen Woolsey, and she and her brother Richard appear in the 1850 census with Stephen and his family. By the way, I don't have a middle initial for this Stephen, son of Gilbert Woolsey and Abigail Woolsey. I have Engida (Angeda) b 1837, md 10 May 1856 in Davies Co., MO. to M. C. Blakely. If she md Levi Jennings, it would be his second marriage, as I have Levi Jennings md 25 Feb 1840 in Livingston Co., MO, to Elizabeth Woolsey (I don't know who this Elizabeth Woolsey is). Now for your first query: I have Stephen Marion Woolsey, (b 19 Aug 1819) s/o William Woolsey and Sarah Woolsey, md 30 May 1843 at Washington Co., TN to Rachel M. Bayless and they are the parents of children buried in Union Cemetery, Atchison Co., MO. 1. Liddy Hubbs (d/o Wm Hubbs & Phoebe Millisa Woolsey who is the d/o Rev. Thomas Woolsey, Jr. and Phoebe Gilbert) 2. Abigail Woolsey (d/o Nehemiah Woolsey and Mary Ruth Curtis) which Nehemiah Woolsey is the s/o Zephaniah Woolsey and Sarah Woolsey. Kerry, I appreciate your help and interest. Thanks for keeping me on the right track, I think. I'm glad I have the computer to keep track of these wonderously inter-related Woolseys! Disclaimer: I believe the above is correct, but is always open for revision upon new and hard evidence. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker

Hi All, I was reading a bit of research by an old uncle. He had indicated his grandfather James Woolsey may have been born in Greenport(?) NC or SC. First is there a Greenport or similiar town in either NC or SC, and Second, were there any Woolsey in either NC or SC? Thanks, Norb

I am looking for information on James Hopkins Woolsey, Son of Joseph Henry Woolsey and Abagail Shaffer. He was born about 1780 in Danville Boyle Kentucky. I am looking for stories, picutes, genealogy etc. We are trying to put together a book on the Woolseys for our Woolsey reunion in May. James was the son of Joesph Henry, Joseph was the son of Richard and Nancy Plumstead of New York. Richard was the son of Rev. Thomas and Sarah Pierce? This informantion supossedly came from the Book "Woolsey by Brewer". Does anyone know anything about this book? Does anyone have anything on these people? Thanks Geri Lawrence

To all interested Woolsey researchers: WOOLSEY, FAYETTE, GEORGIA For some time I have been intrigued by the little town in Georgia named Woolsey. For whom was it named? How did it get started? What do we know about the Woolsey family for which it was named? These and other questions I shall attempt to answer in this paper. Woolsey, Georgia, has its own webpage: http://www.pe.net/~rksnow/gacountywoolsey.htm >From it, we learn the following meager facts: In Woolsey, Fayette County, Georgia 30214, there are approximately 49 families and a population of about 120. The amount of land area in Woolsey is 1.722 sq. kilometers. The amount of surface water is 0.021 sq. kilometers. The distance from Woolsey to Washington, DC is 576 statute miles. The distance to Atlanta, the Georgia state capitol, is 27 statute miles. (Statute miles are "as the crow flies"). Woolsey is positioned 33.36 degrees north of the equator and 84.41 degrees west of the prime meridian. Since 1998 there have been 1,202 visitors to the Woolsey Home Page. In The History of Fayette County 1821 - 1971, published by the Fayette County Historical Society, Inc. about 1971, there is a section on Woolsey by Lucile Gable Lunceford (p. 706 ff). It is thought that Thomas Bolling Gay (b 15 May 1791, d 1 Oct 1864) first owned the tract of land on which Woolsey stands. It is supposed that he acquired it from Jonathan Walker who drew the lot in the Land Lottery of 1821. He was married to Martha Bridges on 22 Oct 1818, (she was b 10 Sep 1801, d 6 May 1860). Woolsey was incorporated in 1893 and amended in 1909. The corporate limits included all the land belonging to Mrs. A. F. Rhea on the east side of the Southern Railroad, all the land belonging to Isaac Gray Woolsey on the west of the Southern Railroad and east of the creek running south through the land of I. G. Woolsey. All the land belonging to Mrs. A. A. Wilson following the E. G. Lunceford line running from said creek east to the Southern Railroad including all the dwellings, tenant houses on said lands also including depot and right-of-way of Southern Railroad and all other lands within said boundaries in the town of Woolsey. It was enacted further that on each and every first Saturday in September all the citizens who were entitled to vote for members of the General Assembly of Georgia shall be entitled to vote for mayor and three council members which shall be held annually. . . . there are still some people around who remember the jail or callabouse, as it was called then. It stood to the back of the present post office and the store belonging to Will Sams. It was built of two by fours, with the thickness of the walls being four inches solid. In 1934 Woolsey had a petticoat government. Some of the ladies decided the town needed cleaning up and clean it up they did. The streets, sidewalks and cemetery were cleaned. They were granted permission from the railroad to have a park near the depot. All that is left to show for their labors are some daffoldils which still bloom on the south side of the highway crossing. Woolsey Post Office was first known as Woolseyville in the 1880´s. It was Dr. Isaac G. Woolsey who made application for the post office. It was located between Flint River on the east and Crittendon Creek (now known as Woolsey Creek) on the west. On the location paper . . . we find that since this location was not on a mail route under contract that only a "Special Office" could be established here. Fayetteville furnished this service by a special carrier, for which service a sum equal to two-thirds of the amount of the salary of the post master of such office was paid. Mr. James T. Lewis was the proposed post master. At this time, Woolsey did not have a railroad. The nearest railroad was the Savannah-Griffin and South Alabama Railroad to the south. It served Griffin and Brooks Station. Mr. Lewis became the first post master on 2 Feb 1886. The population of the village was 55. . . . Mr. John M. McLean was the first and last rural carrier. Mr. John served from 1 Apr 1902 until 31 Mar 1935. Mr. Odd McLean had a route for a short time. Mr. John used a horse and buggy as means of transportation. "Old Lady" was his horse´s name. She would walk up to a mail box and stop unless she got a signal from Mr. John not to stop. She lived to be thirty-five years old. The name of the office was changed from Woolseyville to Woolsey in 1889. Mail was supplied by the Atlanta and Florida Railroad in 1888 and later by the Southern Railroad in 1895. In addition to the railroad a star route was added in the early 30´s. Mr. Larry Baggett being the first carrier to and from Atlanta. . . . Woolsey is believed to have the oldest Post Office Building in Fayette County. Along with the first trains came the first quick outside communication for Woolsey. Telegraphy instruments were set up in the depot on which telegrams were sent and received. . . . Mr. W. A. Vandevender was the first agent and telegraph operator. Tommy Woolsey (grandson of Dr. I. G.) was operator for a number of years. He studied under Charlie Brown. After his death several relief men filled the office, Jack Drewry being the last. After the railroad was abandoned, the depot was moved. At present it is located behind the home of Howard Douglas Bell, (the Woolsey-Bell House). Due to the dirt roads people had to wear "dusters" to protect their clothes as most of the cars were open. . . . Tires were very fragile on these earlier models. A trip to Griffin might involve several changes of tires or tubes. Hot bricks and irons were used as foot-warmers in cold weather. Wool lap robes were brought over from horse and buggy days. . . . It was not until 1948 that Woolsey had a paved road. Things are often "up in the air" just south of Woolsey these days at Rust Airstrip. The aircraft found on this sod strip are fairly uncommon, as they are classics, popular designs of this time; and antiques, those designs over 30 years old and all were restored to flying condition by the owner, Bob Rust, a retired captain with Eastern Airlines. The Woolsey family used their home to accommodate travelers. At that time, drummers (another name for salesmen) would come in their buggies and stay at the hotel until they had worked all the surrounding countryside. They would ride all day and come in to a supper of beans, corn, tomatoes, fried chicken, ham, pie, cake and pitchers of butter milk and sweet milk cooled in a cooler down the well. Dr. I. G. Woolsey studied medicine when he was teaching school in Fentress County, Tennessee. He studied under Dr. H. H. Owens and attended lectures at the college of Medicine and Surgery at Cincinnati, Ohio. He returned to Fentress County and practiced medicine under a certificate from the college until 1861. During his (Confederate) service in the War Between the States he promptly and gallantly discharged every duty assigned him, including surgery. On 19 Sep 1863 he was wounded in his right arm. On account of the wound, he refugeed to Locust Grove, Henry County, Georgia. Here he practiced until 1875 when he moved to Fayette County, and began an extensive practice (from Memoirs of Georgia). Do you remember where you drank your first Coca-Cola? Weldon Stubbs remembers quite well where he drank his first one. His father Tom Stubbs was making shelves in the Will Sams store. He came over to bring his father´s lunch and some one gave him a Coca-Cola. The Williams and Blount Coca-Cola plant in Senoia, Georgia supplied the stores in Woolsey. Some of their Coca-Cola clocks can still be found in antique shops. Dr. I. G. Woolsey gave the land for the first school house. . . . He gave it on condition that it be used as a school and meeting place for the Masons and Woodmen. They built a two story building. The first floor was one room used for all grades with a stage at one end. The stage was used for programs on Friday afternoons. The children worked on "speeches" and songs during the week. Plays were given quite often by the children and people in the community on special occasions. . . . The second floor was used for the Mason and Woodmen meetings and some school activities. A new brick building was built in 1929. Mr. Jim Woolsey of Brooks, Georgia, was the contractor. C. T. Woolsey was Secretary and Treasurer. Harmony Grove Baptist Church (missionary) was constituted 26 Aug 1888 at Woolsey, Georgia in a little store house on the East side of the Southern Railroad. The church was built on Mynatt Avenue. The following Brethern of the Ministry Constituted the Presbytery: Elder T. S. Allen - Griffin, Georgia; Elder W. N. Prichard - Brooks Station, Georgia; Elder Harry Wells - Zebulon, Georgia; and Elder I. G. Woolsey - Woolsey, Georgia. There were 23 Charter members which included Elder I. G. Woolsey (deacon), Mrs. A. F. Woolsey, I. G. Woolsey, Jr., and Mrs. Jimmie G. Woolsey. Land was purchased for the cemetery in Apr 1893. Applied in March 1894 to Dr. Woolsey for deed. Harmony Grove Church of 1888 was changed to Woolsey Baptist Church 2 Oct 1904. Dr. I. G. Woolsey served 8 years as pastor. In 1864 Dr. I. G. Woolsey was ordained a minister of the Baptist denomination at Liberty Church, Gordon County, Georgia. From about that time until 1891, he served three or four churches. His health was failing him then and he resigned all except his home church at Woolsey. For many years he served as clerk and moderator of the Flint River Association. On page 722, Mildred M. Sams wrote History of Woolsey Baptist Church, which includes much of the above and also the following: The first pastor was the distinguished Dr. Isaac G. Woolsey, minister, medical doctor, farmer and land owner. It was he who gave the land on which this church was built. He also donated the property nearby for a school and masonic lodge. He served as pastor for eight years, serving as moderator for the association in 1888 when Woolsey joined the Flint River Association. Dr. Woolsey served other churches over the association. His youngest son, I. G. Jr. hauled much of the lumber that built this church and was a faithful member all of his life. This building is still in use, having been improved and enlarged several times. On 2 Oct 1904 its name was changed from Harmony Grove to Woolsey Baptist. On page 718 there is a picture of students of Woolsey School, and on page 724 there is a picture of Dr. and Mrs. I. G. Woolsey in the 1880´s in front of their large southern home, as well as a picture of the same home in 1977, which was then owned by the H. D. Bell family. The following are in the Woolsey Baptist Church Cemetery: Woolsey, Annie Fendley 26 May 1889 - 26 May 1966 Woolsey, Charles Thomas 6 Mar 1888 - 8 Apr 1939 (Woodmen of World) Woolsey, Jimmie Gay 18 Mar 1864 - 12 Nov 1956 Woolsey, Isaac Gray 3 Aug 1861 - 15 Apr 1959 Woolsey, Infant of M. & M.
