    3. I am having a bit of trouble with this one! I am not sure my William Wolfe is the son of Augustine Wolfe. If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. What I thought to be true. 1900 Preston Co. census, Reno district My ggfather was a William Wolfe b. Dec 1840 m. 1871 Mary C. Wolfe b. Apr 1851 Charles b.1877; Ben b. 1890; Floyd b.1892; Ethel b. 1896; (my gfather) George b. 1898 I believed Williams father to be Augustine b. abt 1811 son of Samuel b. abt 1790. And then I looked at the book "Genealogy of Some Early Families in Grant and Pleasant Districts Preston County by Edward T King" I find a William M. Wolfe with the following wives. 1st m. Hester Jenkins b. 1 Sept. 1839 d. 7 July 1880 2nd m. 26 Aug 1884 Florence Collins b. 19 Nov 1845 3rd m. 14 Dec 1919 Ola Martin b. 14 Oct 1875 None of these are the wife I have listed with William in the 1900 census. In the census it shows that Mary had 13 children with 9 still living, and that they were married 29 years. So that alone makes me think that my William may not be the son of Augustine! My gfathers birth certif shows William and Mary C. as his parents. Birth year for both the Williams match, but not the month. If anyone can shed any light on this please let me know. Thanks, Becky
