Wilford and other interested list members, Okay Wilford you got me again - married at 13! - bet there were some laughs about this but that's okay because I now have the correct information with your name on it. <smile> Although that I have had experts try to convince me that my 2nd great-grandfather Samuel at 14 years of age married. Wilford, more than anything that I am so sorry that I have missed this adventure-some trip you have been on in discovering the Woolsey's. The thrills, soaring with eagles when gold has been found, the pain, the agoney, and lastly the smile and self satisfaction when one family has been found and completed. Being unable to spend the time or money for research has been like missing the boat. Often I wonder if when my time comes that there will be anything left to discover. Do you think so? Let's talk about Texas - did you see the following link in the Rootsweb review? Plenty of Woolsey's o The TEXAS DEATH RECORDS database contains 3,963,456 records reflecting 163,544 surnames of those who died in Texas during the period 1964-1998. http://userdb.rootsweb.com/tx/death/search.cgi John Woolsey III born 1737 (s/o John and Mary Sammis Woolsey) married 1st Priscilla Woolsey. Their son John Woolsey IV died in Clarksville, Red River, Republic-Texas. Are any of the list members descendants of John Woolsey IV? If so I'd sure like to hear from you. The following is a outline of my 3rd great-grandfather Fethias Woolsey's immediate family. I would like to hear from anyone who might be related to or have information on this family and am especially interested in the last child Fethias who seemed to disappear after his wife Margaret died: Descendants of Fethias Woolsey 1 Fethias Woolsey b: March 23, 1796 in Greene County, Tennessee . +Elizabeth Crouch *2nd Wife of Fethias Woolsey: . +Margaret Peoples b: August 08, 1801 ..... 2 Isaac Woolsey b: June 09, 1825 ..... 2 Israel Woolsey b: June 09, 1825 ......... +Unknown Peoples ..... 2 Elizabeth Woolsey b: June 18, 1826 ..... 2 Samuel James Woolsey b: October 16, 1827 in Horse Creek, Greene, Tennessee ......... +Harriet Reed b: April 13, 1831 in Tenn/Ga ..... 2 Crissy Woolsey b: June 25, 1829 ..... 2 John Peoples Woolsey b: December 02, 1830 in Ten Mile, Meigs, Tennessee ......... +Mary Edgemon b: Abt 1832 in Tennessee ..... *2nd Wife of John Peoples Woolsey: ......... +Margaret Angeline Ellis b: January 05, 1837 in Athens, McMinn, Tennessee ..... 2 Fethias Woolsey b: May 14, 1832 in Ten Mile, Meigs, Tennessee ......... +Margaret Hornsby ..... 2 Oliver Woolsey b: February 11, 1834 ..... 2 Sarah Woolsey b: January 05, 1838 Wilford I know that without a doubt if I have made any mistakes in the above my next report card will have a big "I" - meaning this lady is just "impossible".
