I am looking for help on the ancestors of Jacob Wolf and Hannah Kinsey Wolf. This litter scketch of Jacob and Hannah and some references will give you a view of where I am in this search. Help! Thanks, Derald Morgan Jacob Wolf served in the War of 1812 as a teamster, hauling supplies for the army between Dayton and Fort Wayne, furnishing his own team of four horses. He was protected by only one bodyguard on this long and dangerous drive. One night while in a dense forest, they stopped to cook coffee and attempted to start the fire by placing powder in the pit of the flint musket. The fire flashed into the lock, causing a load report. They were terribly frightened, thinking that the Indians would find them. But they were not disturbed. He was as honorably discharged soldier and his wife received a pension after his death. While a teamster and upon arriving at Fort Wayne with his supplies, the officers would mess with him, and he would make chocolate for the mess as they were very fond of it. He served for three years in the army, and one night after his return from a trip to Dayton his horses were stolen at Fort Wayne. He was then allowed to return to his home. Came to Ohio in 1805 probably from Virginia Burried at the Grotto Spring on the property of the Old Soldiers Home. Served in the war of 1812.
