Lt. Joseph Williams, , Sr.

GEDCOM Note

The Woolley property consists of a 31 acre parcel which was located in the northwest corner of Lot 14 of the Road Township in the Town of Cazenovia. This 31 acre property appears to have been created in 1826. The earliest owner of the property was Lieut. Joseph Williams who purchased all of Lot 14 of the Road Township from the Holland Land Co. on the first day of land sales, June 1, 1793. The Town Road Book shows that Williams lived at #2016 Ballina Road, and the Holland Land Co., Census and Inventories show that he had built himself a frame house some time between 1803 and 1806. Williams, a veteran of the American Revolution, died November 11, 1837, at the age of 93 and was buried in South Cemetery. The 1830 census lists Joseph Williams as the immediate neighbor of Edward Woolley.l
