Woolsey Myths
by Wilford Whitaker

This website is devoted to generally cited "facts" about the WOOLSEY family throughout the United States, that remain "facts" despite evidence to the contrary. Not all of these MYTHS can be proven wrong, but in all cases the preponderance of the latest evidence indicates an alternative explanation. Of course, evidence is often discovered after the myths were originally formed that leads us to correct the myth. - Wilford Whitaker
