    1. [KYGRANT-L] WOLFE, Lewis (KY) ASBURY, DUNCAN, LEMONS plus
    2. For several years I have been searching 2 WOLF(E) lines in northcentral KY. Both lines had the same common first names, occupations, and places of residence. I assumed that there was a connection, but no one (not even the family experts who lived into their 90s knew. Sandra Burbridge of the KYGRANT list sent me some info on a Lewis WOLFE in one of her collateral lines. She warned me that there was an error but she didn't know where but it was enough to get me started thinking in a different way. We have a Lewis WOLFE on the paternal side m/ Melinda LEMONS and a Lewis WOLFE on the maternal side whose second wife was Lucinda ASBURY. I had never considered that his unknown first wife might be Melinda. That was the key. I found an interview in the Barton Papers by James WOLFE (eldest child of Lewis and Lucinda) who mentioned both of his father's wives and children from each marriage so I now know that the 2 Lewis WOLFE in my database are instead one person with 2 wives. Here is my info with my wish list on this line. Descendants of John Lewis Wolf Generation No. 1 1. JOHN LEWIS3 WOLF (JOHN2, GEORGE LEWIS1) was born 1815 or 1812 in KY, and died Sep 1900 in Williamstown, Grant, KY, USA. He married (1) MELINDA LEMONS Jul 10, 1838 in Harrison, KY1,2.

Lewis and Lucinda were on the 1880 and 1900 Grant Co. census?????????Pat has abstract of his Obit from Dry Ridge, KY. I now have the newspaper article describing his death at age 87. ***WOULD like his will.**** I have the will of his father, John WOLF, and his grandfather, George Lewis WOLFE. I have the marriage lines for his parents (John WOLF and Rebecca ROBINSON) He is buried in a WOLFE cemtery near Cordova at the Grant-Pendleton County line. The is where the will of John WOLF shows the family property. I haven't been there. It was dusk, cold, and rainy plus it was a mile walk through farmland to get to it.
