    1. Re: OHIO WOOLSEYS
    2. Thank you Mr. Whitaker, again. These people I recognize! My ancestor was the daughter of Benjamin and Margarete Teller WOOLSEY, and her name was Margaret also. She married Samuel WINSLOW. Here are some notes I have saved: BIOGRAPHICAL TEXT: from Bio Mem. of Wyandot Co.,OH, 1902 "....Samuel Winslow and his wife, Margaret [Woolsey] Winslow, were the first settlers in Antrim twp, coming here in 1820, and buying fifty acres of land in section 5, which he improved and made his home during the remainder of his life. They were people of exellent character, members of the Methodist Episcopal church and active workers for the cause, freely giving the use of their house that religious services might be held in the wilderness in which in which they had chosen their habitation...." Priscilla [Winslow], their daughter, was born in Ulster Co, NY, 3 July 1817" <<>> I have a Stephen LONGWELL b 1828 Marion County Ohio (who was the grandson of Margarete WOOLSEY WINSLOW, thru her daughter Sarah) , who married Hannah Jane WOOLSEY in Marion County in 1852. It looks as though Hannah may have died. Then he married Ellan SLOCUM YEALEY in 1862. They then moved to Nebraska. I searched my records and did not find an Elizabeth WOOLSEY who would have lived in Green Co. in 1820. Thank you for another post of tips and info -- knowing where Margaret's brothers lived can lead to many more possibilites. I'll save this info in my "WOOLSEYOH" file. Thanks again Valerie n a message dated 4/27/00 10:16:56 PM Central Daylight Time, wwwhit@integrityonline3.com writes: The Ohio census records are interesting. In 1820 there were six Woolseys as heads of families. << In Chagrin Twp, Cuyahoga Co., were Benjamin Woolsey and Henry Woolsey. They descend from Richard Woolsey and Sarah Fowler through their son Benjamin Woolsey who md Margarete Teller. In Big Rock Twp, Delaware Co., was Hannah (Wright) Woolsey, widow of William Benjamin Woolsey, who descends from Richard Woolsey and Sarah Fowler also through their son Benjamin Woolsey who md Margarete Teller. In Madison Twp, Geauga Co., there was Thomas Woolsey, a son of John Sr. and a brother of John Jr who were in Astabula Co. Ohio (above) I have identified all of the above. These six families had 29 children. >>
