    3. To all interested Woolsey researchers: I have enjoyed the recent postings of Carolyn and Chuck. Am I my "own granpa" yet? Our Immigrant Ancestors George Woolsey and Rebecca Cornell had eight children. Two of them died early. That leaves six children. 1. Rebecca Woolsey md Thomas Wiggins and may have had 1 dau. named Elizabeth. I know of no descendants of this couple. 2. Mary Woolsey md Charles Williamson and had 2 daughters, Rebecca and Mary. I have found no record that these two girls married, but it is possible. I know of no descendants of this couple. Four children of George and Rebecca (Cornell) Woolsey left large posterities and are today scattered all over the country and world. We are corresponding with descendants of each of these four children. 1. Sarah Woolsey md Capt William Hallet 2. George Woolsey md Hannah Van Zandt 3. Thomas Woolsey md Ruth Baylis 4. John Woolsey md Abigail Stephenson I am still working on "documenting" these marriages. Carolyn descends from John Woolsey and Abigail Stephenson Charles descends from John Woolsey and Abigail Stephenson Frank descends from Thomas Woolsey and Ruth Baylis Wilford descends from Thomas Woolsey and Ruth Baylis Roland Carlson descends from George Woolsey and Hannah Van Z. Henry Hoff, ed of NYG&B RECORD descends from Sarah Woolsey and Capt. Wm Willet. Of course, there are many many more but just a thumbnail. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
