Hi Folks this came to me from a friend in Franklin Co., Pa. who knew that I participated in the underground railroad and the slavery issue some years ago when it was researched there. Can anyone supply information on this David Wolfe Jr. Gordon Crooks Do you still belong to that Frederick County group? If you do, would you see if anyone could look up something that was supposed to happen in Chambersburg. I looked in the copies of the newspapers here for the time period but could find nothing about it. The story is that David Wolfe, Jr. died as a result of a beating he received from abolitionists in Chambersburg, on 25th of September 1860, when he tried to reclaim some escaped slaves. David lived in Foxville, MD (Frederick Co.) and had a tavern. He was married to Catherine Hauver. There has to be a great story behind this because David is not listed as having slaves in the 1860 census. Was he a slave catcher, constable, etc. No virus found in this message.

Hi, all, FYI: In Names in Stone, his name is given as David Wolf Jr. (1812-1860), just in case someone tries a newspaper name search: use both spellings. He's buried at the Lutheran church cem., Foxville.
