There are 19 entries for the name WOOLSEY in the index.
One for George, one for George Foster, one for Henry, one for Henry
Harrison. No Daniel, no Benjamin.
I'm really not clicking on the book you mention, but if it was sold by
the Historical Society, why not inquire of them when you order this book?
Regards,
M
