To Marcella and interested Woolsey researchers: If the DAR won't accept George as being the son of Rev. Thomas Woolsey (inadequate documentation) perhaps we can get in on George Woolsey's own Revolutionary War record. (George Woolsey md Mary Hopkins) In C. M. Woolsey's HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MARLBOROUGH, ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK, p. 96: "Between 29 May & 14 Jul 1775, many came forward to sign the PLEDGE or ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, and includes the names of those who then resided in what is now Plattekill; they were the men of the town in those days, of 16 years and upward, and were intended to include everybody, including: John Woolsey, Nathaniel Plumbstead, Jonathan Woolsey, Benjamin Dusenbury, Benjamin Woolsey, William Woolsey, GEORGE WOOLSEY, Richard Woolsey, Zephaniah Woolsey, and William Dusenberry. Sometime between 1767 (when Rev. Thomas Woolsey received his NY Baptist Church) and 1771 (when Rev. Thomas Woolsey received land in Washington Co., VA) the Reverend Thomas Woolsey moved into Virginia, but his whole family did not necessarily move with him. For example, his son Richard Woolsey (who md Nancy Plumbstead) remained in New York and served in the Revolutionary War from Orange County, New York. (He is not necessarily the Richard Woolsey from the above record) The above GEORGE WOOLSEY could very well be your George Woolsey, as the Hopkins family also spent some time in New York state. And we don't have another George Woolsey here to complicate matters. This could well be the way to go - on George Woolsey's Revolutionary War service. What do you think? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
