<<<<P. S. I just finished the New Jersey census where there are many Woolseys, mostly from New Jersey and New York. This seems to be a wealthy branch of the family (not related to me, of course) as they had prosperous farms and businesses (many of the Woolseys in New Jersey did) in New Jersey. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker>>>>> Hi Wilford, Years ago, while searching thru the "Making of America" ( images of pages in over 50,000 history books and journals from 1800 to 1925) at this website http://moa.umdl.umich.edu/ I found over 1000 hits for "Woolsey" --- So far I've found poet Woolsey's and a Captain Woolsey from the Navy, but can't connect any to my Benjamin W. line. (mainly because I haven't the time to do research now). I haven't been to the site in over a year.... I understand they are uploading books every month. To anyone who wants to begin to dig there.....Good luck! Thank you again Wilford, for your help to all of us. Valerie
