I would also like to say thanks to Carolyn for posting this link. I have discovered that I am related to these WOOLSEYS, and to John D. LEE, who built "LEE'S FERRY" on the Colorado River in Northern Arizona, near the Utah border, a place I've visited many many times. This is also where I spent my honeymoon. See a picture of this wonderful place here: http://www.thedam.com/trout/ Lee's Ferry is recognized as being the beginning of the Grand Canyon. All mileages along the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon are based on Mile 0 at Lee's Ferry. Another photo of John D. Lee here: http://www.kaibab.org/images/lee.htm Lee's Ferry is named for John D. Lee, who was instructed by Brigham Young, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to build a ferry across the Colorado River above the Grand Canyon. Lee moved part of his family (two of his nineteen wifes and a number of children) to the area in 1871 and in the year following began construction of the ferry. The ferry operated until 1928, when a bridge was finally constructed across the Colorado River at Marble Canyon. This also may be the proof that the WOOLSEY boy I dated in high school (In N. AZ) is actually a relative too!
