To Nancy Kent Thoben and other Woolsey researchers: I sent the last post off without putting in what I wanted to. I'll put that in now: !CEM: Town of Bedford, Westchester, NY "Cemeteries" FHL #974.7277/B1 N2b Vol. 8. p. iv. "One such stone, preserved underground for perhaps a century, has recently been unearthed in the village graveyard. Its inscription reads: "1742 [next line illegible] Deceased Thomas Woolsey Born in the yeare 1656" This stone was evidently left behind when bodies of the Woolsey family were removed to the Bedford Union Cemetery in the Nineteenth Century. - p. 393. A gravestone for Thomas Woolsey, dug up in the Old Bedford Cemetery in 1976, bears the dates 1656-1742. That should clear up Thomas' death date. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
