Sure wish you'd asked the Woolsey Burton question a week ago, when I was looking through the 1800 Sussex County Census. I'd have paid more attention. Do remember there was a Woolsey (there are quite a few) because lived near a distant Prettyman relative. Didn't copy off the page. The Woolsey this may be is born 6, June 1782, died 25, July 1817, married Mary Tingle?

Re: Elizabeth Burton. I have an Elizabeth Burton in records of St. George's Chapel, born 27, February 1774, daughter of Joseph & Elizabeth Burton. This is Wright's, Vital Records of Kent & Sussex Counties, 1686-1800, page # 102. A marriage is listed in Lewes & Coolspring Presbyterian Church, John Longo (sic) to Elizabeth Burton, 16, February 1792. Same source as above, page #133.

All the conversation made me curious. Hope this helps. Cathy
