    3. Wilford and other OHIO, Wyandot/Marion Co Researchers: On April 16, I posted a biography for William B. Woolsey, son of Walter Woolsey., son of William Benjamin, son of Benjamin M . Wilford, since you just posted some OHIO information, I want to add what I have from Census data and Cemetery listings for this family: Descendants of Benjamin M Woolsey and Margarite Teller of Ulster Co, NY First, I would like some clarification on a birth date for Margaret Woolsey, wife of Samuel Winslow. Wilford, you and Chuck Taylor both list it as 1772. All of the following gravestone listings are from "WYANDOT COUNTY OHIO CEMETERY BURIAL RECORDS" compiled by Col. Wm Crawford Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution. Completed 1981, Published 1982. I have not seen this stone, but the cemetery listing is as follows: Little Sandusky Cemetery, Pitt Twp. Page 450 Row 4 WINSLOW L-13 Samuel 3/19/1841 72y 8m 23 d b. 7/28/1769 L-14 Margaret (w) 3/7/1777 - 12/18/1868 Here is why I believe the 1777 date is correct. We find Margaret Winslow living with her daughters in 1850 and 1860: 1850 Wyandot Co Antrim Twp page 488 Dwl #83 Fam #1132 Household of Abraham Smith and wife, Hester A (Winslow) Margaret Winslow, age 73, born NY 1860 Crawford Co, Texas Twp pages 41-42 Dwl #86 Fam #88 Household of Peter Longwell and wife, Mary (Winslow) Margaret Winslow, age 83, born NY Margaret's age in 1850 and 1860 are consistent with the 1777 date, Wilford, you say we've got to get it right, Comments, please! Wilford, you are doing a fantastic job out there in Salt Lake City and we all really appreciate what you are doing. Now for the rest of the cemetery information: I have included all Woolsey burials and anything with a (?) is just as it is in the book.. In same row as Samuel and Margaret above : L-16 WOOLSEY, infant d/o W. and Hariet d. 9/1845 L-17 Walter 6/1/1793 - 10/6/1851 L-19 BOWEN, Jane D. Woolsey w/o H.C. 11/19/1864 26y 9m 23 d Page 451, Row 6 L-9 WILSON, Chlorine w/o Joseph 9/19/1823 24y 7m 22d L-10 WOOLSEY, Wm. 11/28/1820 55y 10m 27d L-51 WOOLSEY(?) Sheldon s/o ? 3/16/1843 2m 2d L-52 Hezekiah 10/10/1831? 3m 6d ROW 6 L-7 WOOLSEY, Leafy A. d/o W. & Marie 8/1/1835 1y 8m A little Clarification. L-16 Infant daughter of Walter and Harriet Frazier L-17 Walter, son of William Benjamin and Harriet Wright, son of Benjamin M L-19 I don't have a clue who Jane D Woolsey is!! L-9 Chlorine Wilson. In some of Chuck Taylor data on FTM, he lists William Benjamin's children: Walter married to Harriet Frazier, Chlorine married to Joseph Wilson, Elizabeth married to Daniel Wright. (More on this later) aand Hezekia married to Hanna Cutler L-10 Wm Woolsey. I believe this to be Margaret Woolsey Winslow's brother, William Benjamin, birth date translates to 1 January 1765. Chuck and Wilford have 1763. L-51/52 It is hard to tell what this is all about. However, I do believe that Hezekiah was in the Marion/Wyandot area for a time, because Chuck does list a son Sheldon and also a daughter Hannah Jane who married Stephen Longwell in Wyandot County on 30 March 1852. Stephen Longwell was a grandson of Margaret Woolsey Winslow. Later, we find several other children of Hezekiah Woolsey in Maquon, Knox Co, Ill along with some other Longwells who came from Wyandot Co, OH L-7 Leafy, I don't have a clue! Now for the 1850 Census for Wyandot Co, Antrim Twp, all on page 488 as listed above for Margaret. Woolsey Winslow Dwl #83 Abraham Smith, wife Hester A (Winslow), Margaret Winslow, age 73 Dwl #84 Elizabeth Winslow (nee Longwell) Widow of Margaret's son, John W. Winslow Dwl #87 Benjamin Winslow , son of Margaret Winslow Dwl #88 Daniel Wright, wife Elizabeth. age 53 I believe Elizabeth to be sister of Walter Woolsey next. Dwl #89 Walter Woolsey age 55, born NY Wife Harriet, age 38 (Walter married Harriet Frazier 1832. Marion Co.) Almira, Age 14 All children born Ohio Deborah J, age 12 Jeromi, age 10 Martha, age 8 William, age 4 Harriet, age 2/12? I hope this fills in some blanks for someone. Also Wilford, you said you had eight children for Margaret Woolsey and Samuel Winslow. I have nine, you may be missing this one. Hester Ann Winslow, born abt 1807 NY, married to Abraham Smith, 22 November 1827 in Marion Co, OH. FYI, Wyandot Co was formed in 1845 from Marion Co.. These people didn't move, the boundaries changed!! Keep up the good work, Wilford Ruth Hamdorf
