What I have on the Woolever side is Elizabeth Woolever (1759-28 Mar 1828 from her tombstone in Tucker County, WV) married to John Wolford (spelling may vary in mid 1700s). He served in the NJ militia during the Revolutionary War. I am guessing John lived in Sussex County during the Revolution. In May 1777, he stated he went with Capt John Pipenger, under Col. Jacob West, to guard the Sussex Court House. He went out again in Sept 1777 under Capt. John Pipenger and Capt John Potty. March 1778, he went with Capt John Winter, under Col. Jacob West, to Elizabethtown. In summer of 1779, he went out with Capt. John Pippenger, under Col. West, to Hacket's Town and north western wilderness area. In September 1779, he went out with Capt. John Pippenger, under Col. West to the Blue mountains and up the Delaware River to near the York line and under Major Westbrooks. In September 1780, he went out with Capt John Pippenger, under Col. West, to Morris Town Total service: About 4 months as a sergeant and 5 months and six days as a private. Elizabeth Woolever has a sister, Molly Woolever, who married Ebenezer Flanagan. Both Ebenezer Flanagan and John Wolford were living in the Randolph/Tucker counties area in the 1830s when they applied for Rev War pension. Elizabeth and John Wolford had children: Jacob (born about 1790), Abraham, Anna, John, Martin, Jemima. Molly and Ebenezer had children: William, Arch, Jacob, Alfred, Ruby, James, John. There is a will in a WV county clerk office (trying to remember which one) that just says "Heirs of Jacob Woolever". I've never seen it. There is also a 22 Feb 1774 will in Hunterdon County, NJ, that seems interesting, but there are several inconsistancies with names. It does list Elizabeth (widow) and Margaret (full name for Molly???), but Elizabeth has a child. If this Jacob is Elizabeth and Molly's father, Elizabeth would only be about 15. In my opinion, too young to have been married, widowed and a mother.
