Hi Wilford - My WOOLSEY Line is from the same ancestor (Rev. Benjamin) as these WOOLSEYs in your message. Some friends of our family are WOOLSEY's, are LDS, and live in N. AZ. A common first name is in this family -- Ardel. Could you please let me know if you run across any "Ardel" 's in your WOOLSEY searches? Thank you for sharing.

William Andrew Woolsey was the youngest child of Joseph Woolsey and Abigail Schaeffer, b 1 Jan 1833 in Randolph Co, Illinois, and died 8 Dec 1893 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was buried 9 Dec 1893 in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. >>
