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.
