Unable to prove if Jacob Wilsey is Matthew/Nathan's father. Have found no evidence to support this theory.

Matthew and Mary had a daughter, Nancy Ascenath Willey(sp) who married a Mr. Wesley Wescott of Upper Canada and Town Boden. He was son of William Wescott and Hulday Wescott. They were married the 30th of January 1859 at Lower Falls, WI, in the presence of Seth Ball and Horis N. Willy (Horace N. Willsey) of Jackson Co., WI.
The 1850 Census of Lemon Twp., PA states Nathan as head of household and age 45 born PA. Is Nathan and Matthew the same individual.

Dem 11 Nov 1887 - Matthew Wilsey funeral held at M. E. Church, East Lemon Sat. His son, Dr. J. F. of Phila. attended the funeral.

The following Willseys enlisted in the Army on 18 January 1864, Albion, Jackson County Wisconsin, Dist #6, Judson T. Willsey; Disc: Blue Eyes, Light Hair, Light Complexion, 5' 11 1/2", age 23 b. PA, Occ: Farmer; George W. Willsey, Desc: Hazel eyes, Brown hair, Light Complexion, 5' 8 1/2" b. PA, age 21, occ:Farmer; Horace N. Willsey, Desc: Blue eyes, Brown Hair, Light Complexion, 5' 11", age 20 years and 10 months, (also another enlistment sheet stating 25 years of age), b. PA, occ: Sawyer.
All three signed their names - so they were educated. They all served in the 4th Wisc. Calvary, Company A.
This was Judson's 2nd enlistment. His 1st was in Company I, 10th Iowa Infantry, Sept 10, 1861 to August 14, 1862. Judson was discharged April 5, 1865. (Both discharges were for medical reasons. A tracing of his signature was obtained on March 19, 1925 from Bureau of Pensions, in Washington D.C. (He spelled name as: Judson T. Wilsey (1 -L' in Wilsey) In Judson's Military records, there is a panel on a James J. Wilsey (1"L" in name) in thesame outfit, Co A, 4th Regt, Wisc Calv. Who appeard on Co. Muster-out Roll, dtd Brownsville Texas, May 28, 1866. Remards: Discharged, Joined as Recruit. Discharged at Baton Rouge La, Apr 5/65 for Disability. Discharge a final statements furnished. (I do not understand why this panel was in Judson's file - but Judson T. was also discharged for medical Disability on the same date and place.)
Horace N. was discharged 8 Jul 1865. Restatement of age at enlistment of 25 yrs. And George W. was discharged on 28 May 1866, restatement of age at enlistment as 21 years.
On 11 May 1878, Matthew Willsey certified as witness to Judson's request for Invalid Pension with an -X'. Whether this was due to age or because he could not write is unknown but if he was an Attorney, you would think he would be able to write.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Ball Geneology: Mary (Polly) Ball was dau. of Amos Ball, born
Weathersfield, Vt. died Harford, Susq. Co. Wife was Mercy Whitney. They
settled on Tunk. Creek, now East Lemon, in 1811.

Mary was married first to John Bloomfield and had a son, William Orville Stoger
Bloomfield. John left one day and never returned. They assumed he had been
killed by the indians rather than just leaving Mary. She married Matthew
Wilsey and had Judson, Horace, Elmira and Sarah. They moved to Iowa. Mary's
son William was left behind to be raised by his grandparents. He was planning
a trip to see his mother in 1870 when he received word she had died. He had
never seen his mother from the time he was litle and she moved away.
Researchers have never been able to find Matthew & Mary in Iowa but because of
pronunciation think maybe it was Ohio instead. Or they just moved on.
(From newspaper accounts now it shows Matthew returned to Lemon & 1850 census
says children were born in Pa.)

Orville William S. Bloomfield married Polly Tiffany. Had daughter Emeline
Bloomfield who married John VanKirk R(a)ymond son of Abraham & Elizabeth
(VanKirk) Rymond.
