    Nicolaus seems to have signed his name "Niclaus Wolf or Wolff" in records.

    Northumberland Co Acct book 1:509 mentions children

    Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 596:

    Mr. Wolf's first direct ancestor in this county was his great-
    grandfather, Nicholas Wolf, but there is earlier record of those of the
    namehere...If these Wolfs were of the same family as the forefathers
    of David C.Wolf, the records at hand do not show the connection.

    Nicholas Wolf was a native of Lehigh county, where he lived upon
    and owned land in White Hall township upon which the Lehigh county
    court-house is located. It is considered to beamong the best
    agricultural land in that county. About 1812 he brought his family from
    Lehigh county to Northumberland county, settling near Seven Points, in
    what is now Rockefeller township, on a farm later owned by Peter Oyster.

    On May 22, 1815, Nicholas Wolf agreed to pay Philip Weiser $113.35 on or
    before May 1, 1820, five year judgment note; under same date, May 22,
    1815, appears, Nicholas Wolf, $225, judgment note, double; another,
    $775.52. Nicholas Wolf and his family were Lutherans, and are buried in
    the old cemetery at Lantz'schurch. The older children -if not all- of
    the family were born in Lehigh county, before the removal to
    Northumberland.

    We have the following record of the family: Abraham was
    the grandfather of David C. Wolf and is mentioned below; Joel, born Aug.
    27, 1805, was a farmer, and lived near the Cross Road church in
    Rockefeller township, and he is buried at that church, where the record
    shows that he died Jan. 25, 1895 (his wife, Mary M., born Aug. 13, 1811,
    died Feb. 20, 1901); John lived in Hollowing Run, in Lower Augusta
    township; ThomasB., born Feb. 26, 1809, lived in Rockefeller township,
    died April 2, 1864, and is buried at Wolf's Cross Road church (his wife,
    Susanna, died Nov. 28, 1887, aged seventy-five years, two months,
    sixteen days); Henry settled at Red Bank, Jefferson Co., Pa.; Polly was
    Mrs. Bacon; another daughter married Israel Steffen; Betsy married
    William Bartholomew; Hannah married Daniel Conrad; Christina married
    John Crissinger.

    Estate records: accounting shows money "due the Trustees of Whitehall Meeting house."

    The History of Lehigh Co, Vol III, pg 1383 mentions Elisabeth, widow of Nicholas Wolf
    marrying Jacob Wenner who died in 1802. Actually, a transfer document (possibly
    mentioning the son Nicholas) has Elisabeth Wolf, widow of Jacob Wolf (his second wf)
    marrying Jacob Wenner. Apparently the record was misinterpretted here.

    (for a version of Jacob Wolf on Queen of Denmark, see Hochstadt Origins of Settlers at Host Church)

    sp (Christina, w/o Jacob Wolff, Samuel Wotring and wf, Johannes Berrets) -> 1756, Peter
    Frantz and Eva Elisabeth) (chld=Christina Barbara)

    (both) -> 1781 John Henrich and Rosina [Wolf]
    (Elisabeth) -> 1783, George Williman and Barbara [Wolf] (with Nicholas)

    Military service in 1763 also found in History of Northampton Co, pg 53

    It appears that Jacob came over with others who settled in the area:
    Adam Maurer, the Ohl family, Peter Sell, and perhaps Johannes Diehl.
    Also on the boat, Johann Wolff (age 23) and Johan Peter Wolff (age 25)

    Note: the Berret, Albrecht, Frantz, Andress etc, families, appear on the "Samuel" in 11 Aug 1732

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Note from tfregly:
    Last week while in Salt Lake city I found in the court records of Yorka
    reference to Jacob who hired a lawyer to get the estate of his grand
    parents straight it named the Gps in as i remember Germany, I will try
    to find the cc i made and get it to you.

    York Co record : No: 10, page 130, John Wolf heir and Administrater of the Estate of
    Jacob Wolf, Late of Northampton County in the state of PA deceased as well in his
    own behalf as for the Other heirs, to the Estate of the Said deceased by his letter of
    attorney bearing date firstof June in the Year of Our Lord 1801 Impowered Jacob
    Shultz and Conrad Shultzto Recover and Receive in his Name and Stead all such
    legacies portion Estateor Inheretance Descending to him and the heirs of the Said
    from the Estate oftheir Grand father and Grand mother Deceased both of Waldenheim
    im Busweiler Amt in Elsace, Hesse Darmstadt

    this was in abstract of York Co PA records??

    I sometimes wonder if the oldest daughters could have been by an earlier wife of Jacob? It looks OK but he was about 30 and his wife much younger. I sortof
    expect him to have been married in his 20's,s

    Jacob married Christina Barbara SÄGER Abt 1750, Whitehall Twp, Lehigh Co, PA. Christina (daughter of Johan Nicholas SEGER and Anna Barbara BITSCH) was born 29 Nov 1732, Reichenbach, Hessen, Germany; died Aft 1772, Whitehall Twp, Lehigh Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    another possibility would be that Jacob, Peter and John went to Lebanon
    Co first. See the Hill Church records.

    Jacob Wolff:
    Mary Barbara 1747, sp Michael Boltz and wf (on the William in 1738)
    John 1750, sp John Jacob Oberkirsch [Overkirsch] and wf (on the Paliena in 1748)

    Others.... Rev Stoever:
    Jacob Wolf, sp -> 1745 J George Maeuntzer and wf (in Lancaster)
    Jacob and wf sp -> 1746/7, J George Maeuntzer and wf (child=A Dorothea)

    sp -> 1752, George Wolf and wf (child=Anna Margaretha) (at Atolhoe)


    But the other Jonas Wolf at the Hill Church was probably there ealier, and
    was the immigrant in 1732 on the Loyal Judith

    and the Jacob and Peter there might be the Jacob and Peter on the Samuel
    in 1737.
