WILLS OF ABINGDON, VIRGINIA
| THOMAS WOOLSEY 1719 - 1794 |
The will of Rev. Thomas Woolsey, dated Feb. 26, 1794, was filed at Abingdon, Va., and was as follows: "I leve my wife Sary Wolsey all that I have but Sevenier Wolsey five shillings." Witnesses, Frederick Ickes, Richard Woolsey, Nancy Woolsey. Sevenier Wolsey named in the will is supposed to be his son Zephaniah. Apparently this will was written by one less well educated than Rev. Thomas and it may have been completed at his death bed. It is noticeably that the signatures of his son and wife Nancy contain two l's in the Woolsey, and the name in the will but one.
