To all interested Woolsey researchers: I have now completed the United States Census Records for all states from 1790 to 1870. It was a much bigger job than I had anticipated. Now I am in the process of trying to identify each Woolsey and connect them to the "family tree". At one point, I said that I was learning more about the Woolsey family than I thought I wanted to know. Basically that means that when I think I have solved one problem, three new problems pop up! Andrew is not a name that occurs early in the Woolsey family, though it becomes more common after 1825. However, there are three early Andrew Woolseys that appear in the 1800 New York Census that seem to materialize out of thin air, at least I have not found any reference to Andrew Woolsey in the early records. In the 1800 Census of Canasory (Canajoharie), Montgomery County, New York (which is north of Ulster County), there are two Andrew Woolseys, possibly father and son, that I am unable to connect to the mainstream family. 1. Andrew Woolsey 01201 // 00201 2. Andrew Woolsey 01200 // 12100 The interpretation of these two census follows: 1. Andrew Woolsey is head of this household, b bef 1755. His wife (probably) also born before 1755. A. Andrew Woolsey, Jr. (son probably) born abt 1774. 1. Wife of Andrew Woolsey, Jr. born abt 1776. a. Daughter Woolsey, born abt 1798. B. Daughter Woolsey born abt 1775. C. Son Woolsey born abt 1777. D. Son Woolsey born abt 1779. E. Daughter Woolsey born abt 1781. F. Daughter Woolsey born abt 1782. G. Daughter Woolsey born abt 1784. H. Son Woolsey born abt 1786. I have combined these two families because those children living with Andrew (Jr.) were too old to be his children except for the one girl, under ten years of age in 1800. With these two Andrew Woolseys, there is also an Andrew Woolsey family that appears in the 4th Ward, New York City, New York Co, New York 1800 census. 3. Andrew Woolsey 10010 // 00020 This means one male born bet 1755/1774. two females b. bet 1755/1774. one male born bet 1790/1800. Does anyone have any information regarding these early Andrew Woolseys? Montgomery County is also north of Greene County, New York where one George Wolsey and his wife Jane Panton are raising a large family in Athens Twp., Greene Co, NY. This George was born in Ireland and came to New York City and then moved out into the country. These Andrew Woolseys may be descended from this George Wolsey and Jane Panton, though I have been unable to connect them here either. Enough for now. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
