History

Notes

General notes:: *On the back of the 7/27/1816 enrollment it is noted: "surrendered 8/20/1816 having sold the said schooner in the province of U. Canada.";
There is another schooner named "Woolsey", built in 1817 at Sackets Harbor, New York. It is possible that this is the same "Woolsey", but was sold American in 1817. She could have been rebuilt at Sackets Harbor coming out as a new vessel. Due to missing documentation the two schooners named "Woolsey" will be kept as separate vessels until proven otherwise;
