ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:presented by Jimmy Woolsey of Oklahoma City, Ok.
"As yet I know not what ship little George and his Uncle Benjamin Wolsey came to America on, but this Isaac Allerton, an English merchant, who had come to America on the Mayflower in 1620, set up shop on Manhattan Island as soon as the West India Company took over in 1623.By having George, who could speak the Dutch language, great progress was made in his enterprise.The records do not have too much of George, though he was made manager of Isaac Allerton's business in 1659...."
"The only presumption in the above is that I believe George was escorted to America by his Uncle Benjamin Wolsey - who was a brother to George Wolsey (Woolsey), who died in Holland in 1629.All the rest of the above is fact which can be proven.The Orphan's Court record in Rotterdam lets one know that George was not present at the time the record was made because he was in America.But the question is, did he come by himself or with someone?For the past 200 years and more, most Family Genealogists have believed Benjamin Wolsey to be George's father.I too did believe this.But he more research I do the more I know this is not so.The fact is that Allerton and George Sr. knew one another in Holland before the Mayflower made its famous voyage.Times were hard in Holland.Many children were sent to America to work out heir ship passage for someone."
Children of GEORGE WOOLSEY and REBECCA CORNELL are:
