To interested Woolsey researchers: In a recent communication, Carolyn Wilkerson the following: >In a message from you Thursday, September 30, 1999 11:05 PM >you state: >>Also in Dutchess County, there are records of Sammis Woolsey, son of John >Woolsey and Mary Sammis, and also records of Salmon Woolsey and Sampson >Woolsey (Sampson being the most prevalent). I have come to the conclusion >that these three are probably one and the same person (Sammis or Sampson >Woolsey) >I also have a promissory note written by this same John Woolsey and also >other documents he signed. All from Dutchess County. This is the same John >and Mary Sammis Woolsey who is the father of John III Woolsey who md 1) >Priscilla Woolsey and 2) Sarah Oliphant, so I know there are many of you out >there who are related to them. ><end> I have since found additional information that show that at Least Sammis and Sampson Woolsey are two different individuals and Salmon might be another different Woolsey, also. So I have to amend the above statement. At the time I couldn't resolve the three, but subsequent research has proved they co-existed. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
