Text From Source: When twelve years old he moved with his father to Jamaica, L. I., and there spent his early life under the Duke of York and the long line of English Governors. He won the title of captain in the Queens County Militia, and kept it through life. His name often occurs in the town records in ways that show he was of ability and consequence. He spent the closing years of his life with his son Rev. Benjamin Woolsey, a congregational minister, who lived at Dosoris, and there he was buried in the family cemetery on the place, being the first one of the many Woolseys there laid at rest. He was the great-great-great-grandfather of President Woolsey of Yale College. |
