TO: Wilford W. Whitaker: The information on the New Jersey Woolseys that you sent, see below, is what I also have in my database. The problem I have had is in the follow up of Henry Woolsey, the brother of Nancy and the son of Benjamin. A special census was taken in New Jersey in 1793 which listed every free, white, able-bodied male between the ages of eighteen and forty-five - excluding Revolutionary War Veterans and others previously enrolled in the militia organizations. In this census Henry Woolsey who was 18 years old in 1792 (born 1774) was listed from Trenton Township, Hunterdon County. A few years later and in the 1800 U.S. Pennsylvania Census, it shows a Henry Wolsey living directly across the Delaware river from Trenton Township, living in Bucks County, Lower Makefield Township. He is married and with two small children. Later in 1810 Henry Wolsey is listed as the father of children Benjamin Wolsey, 11 years; Annaliza Wolsey, 8 years; and Sarah Wolsey, 4 years. Over the next couple of years the spelling of the names alternated from Wolsey to Woolsey, etc. When Benjamin Woolsey of Trenton, N.J. died in 1822 his obituary was printed in the Bucks County Intelligencer, Doylestown, Pa.; the county where Henry was living. My line from 1800 in PA (Henry and his son Benjamin Woolsey) until the present time is well documented. The big question is: Is this Henry the son of Benjamin Woolsey living in Trenton. Benjamin's will leaves everything to his wife Ann and upon her death to daughter Ann (Nancy) with no mention of Henry. This is driving me NUTS! :) Wilford, I have complete information on the Pennsylvania Woolseys. Be happy to send it to you. I have sent you a contribution towards a research fund to further our knowledge of Woolseys in Holland and England, or however else you may see fit. Best Wishes, Roland C.
