Delia Woolsey Perry was the daughter of Richard Daniel Woolsey, she was born in Shopiere, Wis. in 1859.
is that her paternal grandfather was James Woolsey, a brother of William B.
Woolsey. ... it appears she was living with her parents at Shopiere, Wisconsin,
Notes from Jeff Miller:
In the lawsuit:
William E. Woolsey was born in Ireland, brother of James Woolsey whose location of birth was not given.
William E. Woolsey married Charlotte Ross of Scotland and had 2 sons: John Ross Woolsey born 1861 in Wisconsin and Charles W. Woolsey. The boys, at least, moved to Nevada County, California, where John Ross Woolsey died Dec. 1, 1917, intestate, and his brother was his heir. Charles W. Woolsey married, was widowed, and then died intestate. His wife's 1/2 comm. property was distributed to her heirs, Charles' portion was distributed to Delia Woolsey Perry as his only living relative. Delia stated she remembered her great-uncle from a visit when she was about 6 years old. No other Woolsey relatives are mentioned in the App. case.
Per census recorsd, John Ross and William E. stated their father was born in Ireland and mother born in Scotland.
From Wilford:
I looked at Delia's brothers & sisters' death dates:
Her father died 1898
Her mother died 1915
Her bro Geo W. died 1903
Her sis Jane died _____
Her sis Sarah died ____
Her bro Wm died 1849
Her bro Milton died 1908
Her bro Wm/Willis died 1913
Her sister Lillie died 1860
So, it appears that she was the "only one left" of this family in 1932 and her lawyer could say she was the only "heir".
From Wilford Whitaker:
Dear Jeff:
Do you have a Richard Daniel Woolsey, Jr. (1818-1898) who married 20 Jun 1841, to Ruth C. Robbins (1818-1915) both of Monroe & Onondaga Counties, NY.? They moved to Shopiere, Rock County, Wisconsin.
Note from Jeff Miller: I think the lawsuit by Delia Woolsey Perry as "sole" heir of Charles Woolsey in California was based on her misperceptions.

Action at Selkirk during the War of 1812
ON-LINE: "Capt. James Woolsey attempts to smuggle cannon, cable and other supplies which have been forwarded from Albany through Oswego and Henderson to Commodore Chauncey in Sackett's Harbor to fit out the warships 'Superior', 'Jefferson' and 'Jones' under construction but under a blockade at Oswego and Sackett's. He plans to go up Stoney Creek, then transfer everything overland to Henderson Bay. Woolsey is escorting 22 long 32-pounders, ten 24-pounders, three 42-pounders, twelve large cables (the largest for the 'Superior' weighing over 9,600 pounds and occupying an entire boat) and an assorted munitions for all. Rowing from Oswego by night in nineteen open boats, he hides inside the Salmon river at dawn. In addition to oarsmen, he's accompanied by 130 riflemen under Maj. Daniel Appling and rendezvous's with 150 friendly Oneidas at the Salmon River as escort. One boat is lost in the fog, captured by the British, and the mission is compromised. After a brief rest, Woolsey re-plans to enter Big Sandy Creek and hide upstream. He departs the Salmon River after rest and breakfast, reaching Big Sandy by noon and heading inland as far as possible. The British pursue with 2 gunboats, 3 cutters and a gig, reaching Big Sandy after Woolsey has gone upstream, but don't discover his move till late in the day. The commander waits until the following morning to pursue Woolsey, only to discover Woolsey has been reinforced overnight, and the battle of Big Sandy ensues. The British were ambushed with heavy losses and surrendered 170 prisoners, their boats, and all armaments. Successfully fitting out the 'Superior' enabled the blockade to be broken and the English naval threat as well."

[email protected] Hello,
I noticed your letter posted on the internet. My great-great-great-great grandmother, Ruby Mitchell Woolsey, lived in Wisconsin . I have a photograph of her and her husband posted on Facebook.
I am unsure of the name of her husband. Her daughter, Mary Woolsey, married Solon F. Wyman (1814-1883), both also of Wisconsin . I wonder if Ruby Mitchell is the same one who married James Woolsey. Sincerely, Mark Ellis - Godreports

Note from Jeff Miller:
I checked out the Cal. App. case today.
In the lawsuit:
William E. Woolsey was born in Ireland, brother of James Woolsey whose location of birth was not given.
William E. Woolsey married Charlotte Ross of Scotland and had 2 sons: John Ross Woolsey born 1861 in Wisconsin and Charles W. Woolsey. The boys, at least, moved to Nevada County, California, where John Ross Woolsey died Dec. 1, 1917, intestate, and his brother was his heir. Charles W. Woolsey married, was widowed, and then died intestate. His wife's 1/2 comm. property was distributed to her heirs, Charles' portion was distributed to Delia Woolsey Perry as his only living relative. Delia stated she remembered her great-uncle from a visit when she was about 6 years old. No other Woolsey relatives are mentioned in the App. case.
From the census records I sent you earlier, Richard Daniel Woolsey of Onondaga Co., NY had at least 6 children, including Delia, none of whom are mentioned in the appellate record. Perhaps Delia was mistaken as to her relationship to these distant relatives. Per Wilford Whitakear, all of Delia's siblings were deceased by the time of the lawsuit.
So, I don't think we should use this law case to exclude James and Ruby Woolsey from belonging to your Daniel b. Nov. 1755. Also, James's sister Sarah named a daughter Ruby, which is suggestive of the connection.
Jeff
January 6, 2010--after additional investigation and thought, it appears as though Julia Woolsey Perry is a granddaughter of James and Ruby. It is possible she was confused as to the identify of William Woolsey.
