Family Group Sheet Discrepancies
There was a discrepancy in John's birthdate on the family group sheets at World family Tree and Family Search. Family Search had his birth 4 May 1740, but World Family Tree had it 4 May 1742. All of the other sources looked at have supported the World Family Tree date. John Woolley was born in Marple, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and died 5 April 1800 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania. On 22 April, 1773, he married Phebe Hoopes, in Springfield Meeting, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. They were the parents of four children: Samuel, born 12 March 1774, Sarrah, born 19 July 1777, Phebe born 29 September 1775, and John, born 19 August 1779.

I am also involved in researching in Pennsylvania. I wonder if John served in the Revolutionary War. The pension records for that service sometimes have birth dates that were given by the pensioners themselves. You might try looking on Footnote.com.
