Rosalee, I have a whole book on the family. Are you attending the Wolfe reunion in June? Tell me what you want and if I have it will send it to you. I have only children's names for Elias, would love any info you have on that family. Where do you live? I live in Wichita, KS. Sincerely, Sandra R.

Sarah, This is what I have in/re Elias WOLF and family: William WOLF(b.1797,NewYork) & Sarah (DAN) WOLF(b.1799,Connecticut) 's children included Elias Dan WOLF(b.1833,Feb.06 Pennsylvania,- d.1903,March22) who married Sarah JOHNSON(b.1843, Ohio,-d.approx.1878, daughter of Rensaleer Johnson, a resident of Knox Co., Illinois). One of their children was Sherman WOLF(b.1871,Ohio). Sarah's sister, Hattie JOHNSON, married J. VANGILDER. One of their children was Emma Rosella VANGILDER(b.1876,Illinois). When Elias wife Sarah died, and Hattie's husband J.VANGILDER died, Elias and Hattie got married. Eventually, Sherman and Emma Rosella married, and they are my Great Grandparents. One of their sons, William Clarence WOLFE, was my grandfather. Children of WilliamWOLF and Sarah (DAN) WOLFE: Elias Dan b.06 Feb.1832,Pennsylvania m.Sarah JOHNSON 25 July,1849,Knox Co.,Illinois (b.1834,Ohio) James b.1830,Bradford Co.,Pennsylvania m.Diantha LIVERMORE 1852 ( b.1836,Knox Co.,Illinois ) others? (Rencelier, Rensselaer, Rensalar, Rensaelar, Rensaleer) JOHNSON, b.1804,Pennsylvania, married Emiline WILKINS (b.lndianna-date unknown). They had children: Sarah JOHNSON,b.1834 in Ohio, and Hattie JOHNSON, b.30August,1850. Sarah married Elias Dan WOLF 25July,1849, in Knox Co.,Illinois according to info at family search.com(don't know how reliable this info is, but it fits with the U.S. 1850 census of Knox Co., Illinois, (Family#1516 Rensaelar JOHNSON--Farmer--age 46 b.Pennsylvania....Emiline JOHNSON-.Wife (no age or place of birth listed)...Elias WOLF--Farmer--age 18 bPennsylvania... .Sarah WOLF--Wife--age 16 (no birthplace listed)... .Eliza.-daughter- age 6/12 (this has to be 6-months. also, no place of birth listed). Also, in the same census of Knox Co., Illinois, I found, as family #1512, EliasWOLF -farmer-age 18 b.Pennsylvania. ..Sarah WOLF-housekeeper-age 16-b.Ohio...Eliza WOLF-age 1/2-born Illinois. They must have been over visiting Sarah's mom & dad when the census man came! Elias DanWOLFE (and yes-the "e" is on the end of the last name by the 1870 U.S.census of Iowa, Cedar Township, Benton Co.,Vinton P.O. & Luzern P.O. --page 10, dwelling #69,family #67) and Sarah are in Iowa by 1870, along with children: Mary J. age 17,b.Illinois, Deantha age 15, b.Iowa, Harriet, age 13, b.Iowa, Wilber age 8, William age 6, and Lincoln age 4. Eliza was not in the 1870 census, so she must have married or died . By the 1880 census Sarah was gone. I figure she died in or around 1878, because Cora Bell was 2 years old in the 1880 census and Elias Dan WOLFE was listed as being widowed. And now, back to Hattie. She married J. VANGILDER (b.Illinois), found in "Statewide Illinois Marriage Records"as Vansilder (could this be a typo?-the s instead of a g?), Jeremiah (this would fit with the 'J) married JOHNSON, Hattie, in Stark Co,Illinois 12-9-1875 (I'm assuming , but maybe I shouldn't, that this would read : 9 December,1875). This came out of Volume 2, page 74, licence #00000146. Emma Rosella VANGILDER was born 01 September,1876,Knox Co, lllinois. This was my Grandma Rose(my great grandma.) She died 08 November,1971,Benkleman, Nebraska. J. VANGILDER was a sea captain and died in a shipwreck, according to my Grandma Ruby WOLFE and others in the family. In the 1880 census of Sefton, Fayette Co., Illinois, Source: FHL Film1254206 National Archives Film T9-0206, page 100D( Info provided to me by Dick Tague, who had been doing "look-ups" for me in the Muscatine,Iowa area), Hattie VANGILDER, age 28, b.Illinois, father b.Pennsylvania, mother b.Ohio, --J.VANGILDER, age 55,b.Ohio, (no info on father or mother),-Rosella VANGILDER, age 3, b.lllinois, father b.Ohio, mother b.Illinois, are living with a family of PATTERSONS! I have NOT a clue as to who these people are. By the 1900 census of Iowa, Fruitland Township,(between Muscatine & Letts) Muscatine Co., date: 5&6 June,1900, supv. dist. #2, sheet #2, enum.Dist. #97), Hattie F. (JOHNSON,VANGILDER) was married to her former brother-in-law Elias Dan WOLFE, and they had a 15 year old son: Newton E. WOLFE, (b.1884,Illinois). As it turned out, Emma Rosella VANGILDER, who was my great grandmother, married her step-brother, Sherman WOLFE, 24 November,1892, Louisa Co., Iowa ("Iowa Marriages, 1851-1900"). By the 1900 Census of Muscatine, Fruitland Co., Iowa, Sherman and Emma had children: Sherman Arthur WOLFE, b Feb.1895, William Clarence WOLFE,b.26 Feb.1897, and Rosa WOLFE, b.June 1899. By the 1820 Census they had moved to Max, Dundy Co., Nebraska. their family now included Donald WOLFE, age 9, b.Kansas, Vada WOLFE, age 5, b. Kansas, and Ruby WOLFE, age under 1 year, b.Nebraska. Rosa WOLFE is nowhere to be found so I'm assuming she married or passed away. By the 1930 Census, they are in Stratton, Hitchcock Co., Nebraska. the family had now grown to include John L. WOLFE, age 28, b. Nebraska (where was he in the 1920 census?). Sherman Arthur WOLFE, and my Grandpa William Clarence WOLFE, had moved out by then and started their own families. I have been told that Sherman Arthur moved North to the Dakota's. My Grandpa was in Max, Dundy Co., Nebraska for the Census with his wife of 10 years, Ruby Carolyn ULFERTS WOLFE, and 3 children, one of them my mother. 1> 8/22/200 1
