Twp. was given 78 years and the place of birth as Conn. We have since learned that Mrs Wilsey is 79 years of age, and was born in Falls Twp. this county, making her probably, the oldest native resident of the county.
Tunk. Rep: Oct 2, 1872, Mrs Wilsey died Sept 23, 1872 aged 83 years 1 month and 23 days. Mrs Wilsey was born in Falls township, PA and she resided with her son Perry Wilsey.
The 1830 census shows Eleanor in Eaton, Luz Co with 2 young males & 1 female 10-14 so her Jacob Wilsey would have been dead by then.
