JOHN WOOLSEY (JOSEPH7, RICHARD6, THOMAS5, RICHARD4, THOMAS3, GEORGE "JORIS"2, GEORGE SR1) was born 1810 in KY - Fishing Creek, Lincoln (Pulaski), and died March 12, 1847 in IL - Fayette County. He married JANE HALEY February 24, 1835 in IL - Vandalia, Fayette, daughter of JOHN HALEY. She was born 1810 in SC, and died Aft. March 19, 1863 in IL - Fayette County. RESEARCH: Some researcher had stated that John was born in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Breathitt was formed in 1839 from Clay, Perry & Estill. So it couldn't have been Breathitt. More likely Jessamine County, Kentucky.

United State of America Fayette County Illinois. I Jane Tucker of said county aged from but information past 55 or 56 years do on my oath make this following statement. I was formerly wife and widow of John Woolsey who in his lifetime was engaged in Military Service of United States in late war with Mexico and who was a private of Captain Stout's Company, Colonel F_____ Regiment Illinois Volunteers - My said former husband died in this county on the 15th? day of March 1847(eighteen hundred and forty seven) of disease of Diarrhea and cough to by him contracted in line of his duty as soldier in service aforesaid - Refer to evidence heretofore filed on which pension has been allowed on Illinois Agency at rate of $42 a year under Acts of Congress of July 21st, 1848 February 3rd 1853 to sug-=self as widow or former widow aforesaid and to the minor children of Said John Woolsey, James Harrison Woolsey, Joseph Woolsey - Benjamin H. Woolsey and Elizabeth Ann Woolsey - some of the middle names or letters may have been omitted in former proceedings. First named has generally been called Harrison Woolsey - Joseph Woolsey is dead. It may be that heretofore I have made a mistake in regard to ages of Benjamin H. and Elizabeth Ann named above. They are the youngest ones and there was no child born between them. I have for a few years past and until very recently believed that Benjamin H. was not quite three years older than Elizabeth Ann. I have reckoned the matter over and now find that he is nearly four years older. I remember very well that he was born on 6th day of December and that in fall of year next thereafter, we moved to St. Louis County Missouri - I also remember very clearly that we remained there for about eighteen (18) months - spending two winters there and that we moved back here in month of June, making said Benjamin H. then two and a half years old. I now remember very well that we remained here on one place until in fall of that year - and then moved to another place and stayed during the winter and then in spring moved to another place and that in month of October next thereafter and on 10th day of said month the said Elizabeth Ann was born so that she is nearly four years younger than said Benjamin H. Woolsey - The said Elizabeth Ann was eighteen years old on 10th of October last past, making the year 1844 as year of her birth and 6th December 1849 as date of birth of said Benjamin H. so that at the end of ten years from date of death of said former husband, From March 1847 to 1857 the said Elizabeth Ann Woolsey was the only child of said John Woolsey that was under sixteen years of age - Besides I clearly remember the Dudley G. Haley and my said son Benjamin H. were both born in the month of December in same year. And I am informed that he is considered now as being past twenty two years old. I am still a married woman, this year and I am still the guardian of the estate of said Elizabeth Ann whose name is now Elizabeth Ann Pittman, wife of Aaron Pittman of this county. I make this declaration for the purpose of applying for the beneift of the halfpay pension Act of June 3rd 1858 and I hereby with full power of substitution irrevocable by me appoint G H Barkley of Louisville Kentucky my agent in this behalf. My Post Office address is Vandalia, Fayette County Illinois I state further upon my oath that I have not been engaged in or in any way aided or abetted the existing rebellion in the United States and that I have no record of these children's ages. I remember very distinctly that our said daughter Elizabeth Ann was then two years old when her said father went into the above named service.her Jane + Tucker This 19th day of March A.D. 1863 mark - - Jane (made a plus mark and written above and below " her mark") Tucker 6. MARY "POLLY" WOOLSEY (JOSEPH7, RICHARD6, THOMAS5, RICHARD4, THOMAS3, GEORGE "JORIS"2, GEORGE SR1) was born 1812 in KY - Fishing Creek, Lincoln (Pulaski), and died Bef. 1850 in IN - Jackson County. She married (1) THOMAS WHITSON June 18, 1830 in IN - Salt Lick, Jackson County, son of THOMAS WHITSON and BARBARA. He was born 1796 in VA, and died Aft. 1850.

William Taylor History p. 53: John D. Lee then went on in his journal to describe an evil spirit that he believed had come upon his first wife Agathean. Rhoda Young, the wife of Adolphia became especially alarmed at the unusual behavior of Agathean, as did the rest of the family. Lee and Adolphia gave her a priesthood blessing after which she recovered. But in 1842, Lee had severely criticized William Alma Young and his brother Alfred for doing the same thing in Tennessee. Although the cousins, William Alma, Alfred Douglas and Adolphia Young probably never knew each other very well, they doubtless shared the frontier ability to hunt and find food. It is evident from several of John D. Lee?s journal entries that Adolphia Young was the appointed hunter for the group.: ?Summer Quarters, Mon, April 12th, '47 -- Morning cool and clowdy, W. E. About 6 A. D. Young brought a crane and a goos (goose) yesterday morning.? William Taylor History p. 53: Hardship brings people together in a cooperative effort like little else. There never was any indication in Lee?s journal that his wives disagreed with each other. In fact, the practice of plural marriage under these primitive conditions, was an excellent way to provide for the temporal and spiritual needs of each family member: HIST: Kelly, Charles.

On 19 Dec 1845, he recorded that "I called in at Br. J Beans & notified Nancy his daughter to cleanse her body by washing in clear water & purify her heart by humbling her self in fasting and Prayer & come up to the Temple . . . She manifested some dissatisfaction and said that she chose to wait a little longer until her mind should be reconciled. "Four days later nancy did come to the temple, accompanied by Rachel [Woolsey]. Perhaps the fact that she was eight months pregnant would account in part for her reluctance. Later all of those who had been married before this time - Louisa Free, Caroline Williams, Abigail Sheffer, and Rachel Woolsey - came in together for the official sealing ceremony.

Brigham Young said publicly that there would be no more sealings while they were in the wilderness, but for Lee he made an exception. After noting at ten p.m. that Emoline had come to spend the night at the camp, Lee wrote with characteristic frankness: Dec. 21 [1846] About 6 eve Pres Young by permission, not according to law, as the sealing ordinances were stopped when the Endowment stopped in the Temple . . . solemnized the right to matrimony between Emoline and myself. Charged the family to lock these things up in our breast and there let them remain. After attending to the ordinance I presented him with a box of sardines. It is Wilford Whitaker's thought that Emoline was not a sister, but rather a cousin of his wives, the daughter of Jacob C. Woolsey and Elizabeth Weger. See her notes for complete details. For example, she was living with Jacob C. and Elizabeth in Nauvoo with John Von and evidently their daughter Lueda Von, hence she was known to the family as Emoline Vaughn Woolsey. etc. ibid. p. 121 He [Lee] lost public favor also, for he had beaten Kennedy up badly. So many little irritations had grown to culminate in this - Kennedy's constant criticism, his swaggering attitude, insinuating remarks, but most of all his coaxing away Lee's young wife Emoline and taking her with him to Winter Quarters. Much more than the untieing of an ox was involved in this fight. HISTORY: Dalton, Mrs. Luella Adams. HISTORY OF IRON COUNTY MISSION. Parowan, UT FHL # 979.247 H2d. p. 18. "Company bound for Iron Co.

He helped the boys with the harvest, sold the home and land to A. R. Whitehead and Benjamin Paddock for two thousand dollars cash, stock, goods from the factory, and a set of blacksmith tools. On August 10 they set out for Skutumpah. Lee learned that U.S. government action was starting against all polygamists, and was advised along with the other brethren of the time to transfer all his property to his wives. He proceeded at once to make out the necessary deeds and distribution, naming Rachel Woolsey, Polly Young, Lavina Young, Sarah Caroline Williams, and Emma Bachellor as recipients.
