    1. Woolseys in Library of Congress Catalogs
    2. Wilford W. Whitaker
    3. To all interested Woolsey Researchers: I just finished checking out the 514 (first time I checked) and now 511 references to the WOOLSEY name in Library of Congress on-line catalogs. There are several references and books that I have. I do not have the following references which seem to me quite interesting and I would like to obtain a copy, if possible. Does anyone live near the Washington, D.C. area, who could visit the Library of Congress and obtain these? I will have to check with the Library of Congress and find out how we can get a copy. 1. Dix, Emily Woolsey (Soutter) "Reminiscences of the Knox and Soutter Families of VA," written for her children. 2. Woolsey, Nell Cramer "Pathways east and west." 1948 (Nelly C. Woolsey was an early 1900's researcher who kept up an extensive correspondence with my grandmother and with Herbert Wood of New York. Much of what we have today comes from them. www) 3. Claypool, Edward A. "Descendants of Col. Jacob Griffin & Ruth Woolsey. 1900." (I found what is perhaps a copy of this when I searched the New York Gen. & Bio. Soc. Library. It was very difficult to read and decipher.) 4. Woolsey, Lester Hood. "Papers of Lester Hood Woolsey, 1831-1958. bulk 1909-1928" I don't this one. 5. Woolsey, Thomas "Heaven is near the Rocky Mountains: the journals and letters of Thomas Woolsey (1855-1869)". ed by Hugh A. Dempsey. I don't have this and am extremely curious as to its contents. 6. Rugeley, Helen Hoskins. "Cloud, Woolsey and allied families" - data compiled by Rosa (Woolsey) Howze. et al. 1987. I don't know this one, either, but looks interesting. Of course, there are many, many others, of which I have several, but these looked the most promising, of the ones I don't have. eBay.com and Amazon.com have many Woolsey items, also. Check them out. Quite interesting. Any suggestions? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
