He md 1) 14 Aug 1823, Greene Co., TN to Elizabeth MYERS. I don't have any children from this marriage. He md 2) 28 Jul 1825, Greene Co., TN to Polly Harrison. She died before 1845. They had the two children in the census: 1. Abigail Woolsey b 1833, TN 2. Rachael Woolsey b 1835, TN William F. Woolsey md 3) 18 Feb 1845, in Livingston Co., MO to Elizabeth Tomlin and I think they are the parents of the other girl in the 1850 census: 3. Loveann Woolsey b 1845, MO William Franklin Woolsey is the son of Gilbert and Abigail, who are also in the 1850 census of Atchison Co., MO. Now as regards Abigail Woolsey who md Washington Lafayette Zuck - different people have postulated different Abigails, so here is my contribution to the mix: George Woolsey (Rev. Thomas Woolsey) and Mary Hopkins had a son Jeremiah (Jerry) Woolsey, who md abt 1807 to Mary Polly Stephans (we get her name from her headstone in Wood Cemetery in Fentress co.) in Fentress Co., TN. They are in the 1850 Fentress Co., TN census as follows: Woolsey, Jeremiah 68 m VA Polly 65 f PA Geo 32 m TN Anny 30 f TN Sarah 25 f TN Eliza 23 f TN Matilda 22 f TN Abigail 21 f TN (b. 1829) Hines, James 18 m VA The only problem with this is that Abigail may still be in the 1860 Fentress Co., TN Census as follows: Woolsey, George 37 m TN Mary 73 f PA Anna 38 f TN Sarah 28 f TN Abigail 24 f TN (b. 1836) Could this be another Abigail?? probably not, but ... Any one have any other suggestions?? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
