I'll take your last query first. Yes, you are correct. Engida is a niece of Stephen Woolsey, and she and her brother Richard appear in the 1850 census with Stephen and his family. By the way, I don't have a middle initial for this Stephen, son of Gilbert Woolsey and Abigail Woolsey. I have Engida (Angeda) b 1837, md 10 May 1856 in Davies Co., MO. to M. C. Blakely. If she md Levi Jennings, it would be his second marriage, as I have Levi Jennings md 25 Feb 1840 in Livingston Co., MO, to Elizabeth Woolsey (I don't know who this Elizabeth Woolsey is). Now for your first query: I have Stephen Marion Woolsey, (b 19 Aug 1819) s/o William Woolsey and Sarah Woolsey, md 30 May 1843 at Washington Co., TN to Rachel M. Bayless and they are the parents of children buried in Union Cemetery, Atchison Co., MO. 1. Liddy Hubbs (d/o Wm Hubbs & Phoebe Millisa Woolsey who is the d/o Rev. Thomas Woolsey, Jr. and Phoebe Gilbert) 2. Abigail Woolsey (d/o Nehemiah Woolsey and Mary Ruth Curtis) which Nehemiah Woolsey is the s/o Zephaniah Woolsey and Sarah Woolsey. Kerry, I appreciate your help and interest. Thanks for keeping me on the right track, I think. I'm glad I have the computer to keep track of these wonderously inter-related Woolseys!
