Shirley -- I don't have your George Briggs Wolf, but some material I recently received from Clare Fowler on the WOLF family has information on a WOLF - BRIGGS marriage that might be a clue for you. Note that there are some disagreements between these 2 sources, particularly about the wife of George Jacob WOLF -- most people seem to think it was Nancy Isabelle CAMERON rather than Catherine BARB. ****************************************************************************** ******************* {{ From "The Wolfe Project, Progenitor: Jacob Wolf, the Elder c1717-1799" by Raymond A.

HISTORY (p 441; article submitted by historian Lindsey Allen Wolfe) }} JACOB WOLFE . . . . Jacob Wolfe and Sons were men of a venturesome spirit and of a powerful physique, capable of enduring the hardships of frontier life, protecting themselves and family against the wild animals and Indians in the untamed virgin wilderness. When peace came, they laid aside the gun, picked up the ax and radiated into all areas of Preston County. The Wolfe's log cabin, from 1754 - 1763, located at Stony Creek settlement in Shenandoah Valley, Va., was used as a Fort, where the pioneers took shelter from the Indians. Late in 1770, Jacob (? - 1799) and Catherine (? - 1824) Wolfe and family emigrated to Deckers Creek, Monongalia County. Their children are as follows: George (1752-1827) married Nancy Barb (daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth (Caulfelt) Barb), lived near Cuzzart, Preston County. He was the first settler to build a commodious log house having the chimney in the center, and fought in the Revolution. Their children: Jacob (1782 - ?), known as "Left-handed Jake", married Rachel BRIGGS, had two sons who went to California as "Forty-Niners"; Daniel (1794-1873) married Anne House (1794-1864), fought in War of 1812; Christinia (1795-1880) married Jacob Guseman (1786-1878); Henry went West 1835; Anthony (1799 - 1843) married Mary Matlick (1804 - ?) (daughter of Joseph Matlick) lived in Pleasant District; Martin married Elizabeth Sine, lived in Sugar Valley; Sarah married Emanuel Hamed; Susan married Jacob Feather (1796 - 1864); Abigail married John Sine. ****************************************************************************** **************** I hope this gives you something you can follow up on.
