Dean,
After years of searching, this has to be too easy to be true. But here goes.
I have seen records stating my gg-grandfather, Woolley came from NJ. The only luck I have had thusfar, is another family had similar naming patterns I much later learned were not mine. Nor were mine names used by others with the dates I posted their's. Doesn't that sound like fun{:>)
In your message, you mentioned a few names I recognize, so lets start there. Be gentle, I have a brain injury, but long term memory. Short stinks.
Job(e) Woolley, Lippincott, are names in my family. Thomas Chandler Woolley would be my gg-grandfather, I know not the name of his parents. He was born somewhere between 1803/13.
I found him m 1844, his wife and children, and descendants.
Now here is where the family got confused. Someone researching a Thomas R Woolley with a son George suddenly was given the dates I posted for my family online. Some even took the descendants to be theirs. NOT. I have seen whole family lines change as they learned this family of mine was not one in the same.
I suspect originally my ancestors came from MD as did the family and father of my gg-grandmother that married a Woolley.
Records have shown that my g-grandfather was too born in NJ, m in MO. Again, not mine as census show. Records have been found that mine was b and m in Ohio. That is also where my gg-grandfather married.
Thus far, I have 4/5 Woolley, Wooley different family lines. I have found no way to find a connection, although should I be able to trace back further than my gg-grandfather, there may well be a link.
I found my gg-grandmother, widow, living with some of their children with her widowed father in 1880.
Would love to compare more if you are willing! My conitive organizational skills leave much to be desired, but I have to find something to organize first. {:>)
Thanks for your attention.
