Is anyone researching this line: Nathaniel Woolsey paying taxes in Pulaski Co. Ky in 1810, 1820, and 1826, but gone by 1827. Nathaniel Woolsey, 1840 census of Franklin Co. IL with 1 male between 20-30, 1 male between 50-60, 1 female between 10-15, 2 females between 15-20, 1 female between 20-30, 1 female between 50-60. We believe these to be (from marriages and 1850 census in same county): male between 20-30 son Thomas (b. abt 1811 in KY), male between 50-60 is Nathaniel, female between 10-15 is possibly Elizabeth, females between 15-20 are unknown and Mary A. (b. abt. 1824 in KY), female between 20-30 is Martha A. (b. abt. 1818 in KY), female between 50-60 is wife Susana (b. abt 1786 in KY). Daughter Catherine (b. abt. 1814 in KY) was already married by the 1840 census to Francis Etherton Dawson (year and place unknown). Nathaniel is not on the 1850 census, so apparently died. Widow, Susana, is living with daughter Mary A. and her husband Isaac Campbell in Franklin Co. IL. Martha married T. W. Simpson who apparently had several children from a previous marriage. Thomas married Elizabeth J. Thomas in 1843 in Franklin Co. IL. Elizabeth Woolsey married Daniel Clayton in 1850. The 1860 census shows several of the offspring of Nathaniel and Susana still living in Franklin Co. IL: Thomas Woolsey, F. E. Dawson (Catharine), Thomas Simpson (Martha), Isaac Campbell (Mary A.). One researcher suggested this Nathaniel is possibly the son of Richard Woolsey and Nancy Plumstead. I would like to prove or disprove this theory. If anyone is researching any of this line, I sure could use some help. Catharine Woolsey Dawson's family ended up in Laclede Co. MO. Don't know where the rest of the Woolseys ended up. Would like to know for sure who Nathaniel's parents were. What was his wife Susana's maiden name and her parents? Any information on the family's life in KY or IL would be appreciated.
