    3. To interested Woolsey researchers: SNelson writes: From: SNelson216@aol.com Date: Mon, 1 May 2000 23:45:50 EDT Subject: Billy Woolsey <While researching James W. Woolsey (Warner Woolsey) who had been in California in 1857, and was also in the Black Hills of South Dakota, I stumbled across the following in "Deadwood The Golden Years" by Watson Parker. On page 210 it says Jim Coburn, shot by Billy Woolsey, died at the Sisters'Hospital in 1880. Anyone know this Woolsey?> Billy was probably one of the many Williams Woolseys? I haven't checked this out yet. Any one know of this incident? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker 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
