ANNA MAGDALENA (MAUDE) WOLFE born in Nova Scotia, Canada. m. GEORGE BAKER on 1 Jun 1784 in Zion Lutheran Church, Lunenburg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada He was born in Hesse-Dormstadt, Prussia, Germany She was the daughter of PETER JOSEPH WOLFE and MARGARETHA ? WOLFE from Wutternburg, Germany I have four (4) children for them: 1. JOHN ANDREW BAKER b. 20 Jun 1785 d. 18 Mar 1875 in Lunenburg Co., m. ANNA MARIAH FANCY 25 Nov 1809 b.1793 d. 1899 d/o JOHN MICHAEL FANCY and ANNA MARIA FEINDEL 2. MARIA ELIZABETH BAKER b. 30 Jun 1786 3. ANN MARGARITHA BAKER b. 30 Sep 1787 4. MARIA GERTRUDE BAKER b. 5 Sep 1794 I'm looking for where/when she was born??? Where/when she died??? Any genealogy on her??? TIA, Wilma Grant Hunt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

I am searching for ancestors of Jacob/James Wolfe born 7/28/1816, died12/20/1894 He married Mary Anna Dallhamer 11/4/1838, she was born 12/15/1813, died 10//28/1874 They attended church at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Conewago, PA, so am assuming they lived around that area, very near the MD line. They had 6 children.

Looking for the parents of Michael Wolfe and also of Sarah Hartman Michael Wolfe born about 1807 VA died 12 Jan 1889 age 81 Rich Hill Twp, Muskingum OH Sarah Hartman born about 1813 VA died 28 Oct 1892 age 80 Rich Hill Twp Muskingum OH Do not know where they married Children all born in Ohio Have some more info on children Emma (Joseph Richardson) married 27 June 1852. Muskingum Elizabeth (Andrew J. TEEL) Mary Ann Rachel (H. HARDESTY) Sarah William Lee James born abt 1847 OH John abt 1849 OH Christina (Tina) William S Spencer married Oct 13, 1869 in Guernsey Co. Alfred abt 1853 OH Hugh abt 1857 OH Oliver abt 1859 OH Barbara Southern California

I continue to search for any info on the family of ANDREW DAVIS and LUCINDA WOLF. Andrew Davis Wolf is thought to have been b. on 8 Feb. 1806 in Tn. to parents PHILIP P. and ELIZABETH BARNES WOLF. Andrew Wolf is found on 1840 Johnson Co., Ar. Census with a wife and 9 children. Johnson Co., Ar. records show that he was deceased by 1844 where his widow, Lucinda is listed as the administratrix of his estate. After that, I can find no further record of Grandma Lucinda Wolf. My maternal g grandmother was ELLEN CAROLINE WOLF who was b. 28 Nov. 1840 in Johnson Co., Ar. She had a twin sister named MARTHA J. She also had a brother named TOBIAS WASHINGTON and a sister named SARAH. These siblings all ended up in Tx. Ellen's Civil War Widow's Pension application states that she was in Tx. by age 4 years, which would tie to the time of her father's death, yet I have not been able to find her, her mother, or her siblings on any Tx. records until I find Ellen, Tobias, and Sarah after they are grown and each married. They are all located in both Upshur and Hopkins Cos. in Tx. I do find Tobias and his family leaving Tx. and returning to live in Scott Co., Ar. around the times of the Civil War. He did serve during the war as a mounted rifleman in Co. J under McIntosh. Tobias is listed on 1860 Scott Co., Ar. living next door to Henry Wolf and family. There is also a John Wolf and family living in the area. Although it would appear likely that both were related in some way, I have been unable to tie him to either, or to find Grandma Wolf living in Scott Co. Tobias Wolf and his family did return to Upshur Co., Tx. at the end of the war. What happened to Grandma Wolf and her children after the death of Andrew Wolf? Did Lucinda possilby remarry and come to Tx. under another surname? Did she possibly die and her children come to live with another family in Tx.? Can anyone help me to solve this mystery?

My great-great grandparents were Johann Adam WOLF (1787-1857) and Katharina Elisabeth Schaeffer (1794-1858) from Ersrode and Niederaula, Hesse. They came to Washington, Tazewell county, Illinois in 1846. I have extensive information on their 4 sons, Jakob, Johann Jakob, Bernhardt, and Johannes, but they also had a son George Heinrich, b. 18 Sep 1834, and 2 daughters, Barbara Christine, b. 26 Jul 1824, and Magdalena, b. 11 Apr 1837, for whom we have no further information. Would like to know what happened to them. The rest of the family was later in Henry county, Illinois. Neil Wolf

MASS FUNERAL HELD FOR MOTHER AND 4 CHILDREN Mass funeral services were held at the Jim English Cemetery, near Crockett, Saturday afternoon for a mother and four children, all of whom were burned to death Friday when kerosene exploded as the mother sought to start a fire in an open fireplace in their apartment at Crockett.

Cover Newell, who got outside of the house with his mother, died early Saturday. Mr. Wagley, the husband, was in Gatesville about midnight Friday when he learned that his entire family had been wiped out. He got home just an hour after the oldest son expired about 3 a. m.

Hello list, I am still looking for a European connection (Birth place somewhere in Alsace) for LOUIS WOLF b. 1833, d. 1887. Migrated to California in 1852 and went to Temecula from "someplace in California" in 1857 or 1858. Knew CHARLES PRAGER of Los Angeles (born in Prussia) and was in business with him. Probably migrated to Los Angeles and then to Temecula. Any information on Wolf's passage to America (direct from Europe to San Fransisco, no stop on east coast) around the horn or his place of birth, etc. would be appreciated. Writing several articles and perhaps a book on him. Thanks Dick Diamond diamond@oregoncoast.com

He is a native of Pennsylvania and was born in Juniata County, on the 11th of October, 1824. His father, Joseph Cameron, was born in Lebanon County, Pa., being the son of Lewis Cameron, a native of Scotland, who emigrated to America when a mere boy who married a Ms.Wolf. The mother of our subject was Mary, the daughter of Peter Burris, both natives of the Keystone State, the mother having been born in Juniata County. In Juniata County, Joseph Cameron and Miss Mary Burris were united in marriage, and, locating there, they commenced housekeeping on a modest scale. He was a carpenter and followed that trade with considerable success. In 1854, accompanied by their children, they started on the long journey to Illinois, expecting to locate in that state permanent! ly. On the day of their arrival in Galena, the wife and mother died, also one of the children, the victims of that dread disease, cholera. After this heavy bereavement the father proceeded to Stephenson County, Ill., and in the fall of 1854 came to Berrien County, this state. He died in Clay County, Ind., at the age of sixty-five. a section of a letter from a cousin in PA: I will now answer your Grandmother Cameron’s maiden name. Uncle Joseph Cameron’s wifes maiden name Bories/Burris?. Polly Bories(Burris?). Uncle Tommy Cameron spoke of a brother of your Grandmother, Joseph Bories(Burris?). My Grandmother McConnel’s father’s name was Lewis "Ludwig" Cameron. His wifes’ family name was Wolf. There are immediate relatives living at the Wolf homestead and own the place. I visit there. Grandmother McConnel, Polly May, the eldest, Catherine (Aunty Vogel) were the two daughters of the first marriage. John, the eldest son and Joseph, Your Grandfather were the children of the first marriage.Uncle John Cameron mentioned, may have drifted into the war of the Revolution. It was he of whom I wrote to your father that one day while your grandfather, Joseph Cameron, was out along the Juaniata he was addressed by a voice from the opposite of the river, and looking in the direction of the voice saw a man. Uncle Joseph Ca! meron was addressed “Brother Joe, is that you?” Answered “Yes is that you brother John?” Uncle Joseph Cameron hurriedly made his way to his boat, and crossed the river to meet his brother. And in his own language met on one. If the earth had opened and swallowed him, he would not more effectually been out of sight. You of course know when Uncle Joseph Cameron went west as a pioneer in his own equipment, all of the family but your father who had preceded the rest, were overtaken by sickness(Cholera) and had three funerals in five days. Uncle Joe’s wife, daughter Catherine (Mrs. Rush) and her husband. The latter, Cousin Mae Williams Grandparents. While my Grandparents were still living in the country, your Grandmother Cameron with your father, Cousin Henry Nelson Cameron, visited by grandparents at their home. My mother (86 years), your father, and Uncle Tommy Cameron were near the same age. Family name of the second wife Gossert, Aunt ! Betsy (who died with us) the eldest Sarah, married to a man named Long . Lydia married to Meffert. Third wife Maria Walter. Simon Cameron the eldest of this marriage. Noah, Louisa (married to Foesig), and Tommy Cameron. My birth date was Sept. 4, 1845. May following Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron visited my Grandparents at Lebanon and I have the honor of being carried out of the house first time bare headed by him. Grandmother McConnel always spoke of your father by using his full name Henry Nelson Cameron. My Grandparents were in touch with Uncle Joseph Cameron (Your Grandfather) and were informed of their preparations to go west and received letters when they were overtaken by sickness and death. Before starting for the west, Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron with his family and Uncle Joseph Cameron (your grandfather) lived near together, near East Salem. Uncle Noah Cameron was already married. So was Uncle Simon Cameron. Uncle Tommy Cameron was living home most of the time with his parents. Grandfather Ludwig Cameron was a shoemaker by trad! e and a useful man in the Community.He had given much attention to tree culture and raising fruit.Skilled in Grafting. when Uncle Adam McConnel and Uncle Joseph McConnel (brothers) were on a visit at Thompsontown, they were shown by Father Evans a worthy resident of Thompsontown, grafted in Mr. Evans orchard and posts and fencing set by Great Grandfather Ludwig Cameron. Mr. Evans spoke in highest praise of Great Grandfather Cameron as a friend and neighbor and a useful citizen. When Uncle Noah Cameron died, the two uncles (McConnel) were at the funeral. It was said of Uncle Noah Cameron that he was worth more in the community than some others that might be named by the dozen. All of Uncle Noah Cameron’s family are well to do, and are in possession of the homestead. Two of the sons within the last year have gone to Florida and bought land with the purpose of making their home there. One of Uncle Tommy Cameron’s daughters (Mrs. Sarah Walker) lives at Post Fall! s, Idaho. They have a farm of 160 acres, and have set an orchard of ov er 700 choice fruit trees. I had a letter from Cousin Sarah last fall stating they had 800 choice apples in boxes ready to be shipped. Cousin Emma Poffenbeger, a sister of Mrs. Walker and her husband are looking forward to making a trip to Post Falls,Idaho. And when they accomplish it, expect to stop at Niles, Mich. Great grandfather Cameron was a deeply religious man. The last time he visited Lebanon, when I was an infant, Uncle Joseph McConnel know of this visit, and when he left Lebanon, Uncle Jacob McConnel, Uncle Adam McConnel and Uncle Joe took G. Grandfather Cameron to Highspire with Grandfather McConnel’s horse and carriage to visit Uncle and Aunty Vogel.When Great Grandfather Cameron visited Lebanon last time, Great Grandmother McConnel was still living. She was a very intelligent woman, and at that time considered an educated lady. It is said that she and father Cameron spent much time in social intercourse talking over the future and religious matters,, an! d their parting was never forgotten. My Grandmother McConnel persuaded her father while on this visit to attend catechetical lecture in our church, conducted by our Pastor, Rev. Henry Wagner, he was deeply impressed and remarked of Pastor Wagner when he came home “Er is ein guten Lehrer” I can not tell you what a comfort it is to me to receive your letter. Trusting it will be of help to you and your daughter, if there is anything I have not mentioned call my attention to it and any information I can give, you shall have cheerfully. My youngest daughter, Rhoda, is very much interested in knowing of the past and means to profit by it, while Uncle Joseph McConnel and I are still here to give her information. She is a teacher at Cornwall, and enjoying her vacation and a much needed rest. It would be a great comfort to me to have your daughter write to Rhoda with the hope that they will become correspondents. Please remember us kindly to the relatives at Niles,MI and South Bend,IN. I expect to hear from some of you coming East this summer. Great Grandfather Cameron is buried at East Salem near where they lived before your Grandfather Joseph Cameron went west. His first wife is buried at Kimmerlings Church little more than three miles from Lebanon. Father Cameron’s parents came into the U.S. by way of Canada. In their travels, his mother carried him Indian fashion on her back. Later his father returned to Canada. The mother with her little boy drifted into Lancaster Co. Pa where they lived on a farm with a kind family, when the poor little boy, our Great Grandfather, was forsaken by his mother, who also returned to Canada. The family with whom they were living kept the little boy, and in time he made his way into Lebanon Co. He learned the shoemaker trade at Stumpstown, now Fredericksburg, by Jacob Buchananyer. He prospered at his trade and married into a respected family ! near Kimmerlings Church by the name of Wolf. His first wife died when the children were young, so small that their father lifted them to...(need to find the last page of the story!).I think I corrected all the mistakes...
