      US Oath, 24:27, Jacob Woolf,or 19 May 1778, 51:, Jacob Wohlff

      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)
      sp - 1757, Johannes Berret, Christina Saeger, Margaretha Saeger, Barbara Wotring
      (Wotring on boat with Nicholas Seeger)
      sp - 1761, Johannes Saeger single, Anna Eva Saeger - Samuel Saeger's wife, Dorothea Andressen single
      sp (Jacob w/Samuel Seger, M Susanna Segern, Catharina Roder, all married) -> 1761 Andreas Dormeyer and Catharina
      sp - 1765, Johannes Saeger, Johan Nicolaus Wodring, Maria Catharine Andrese, Margaretha Westin

      sp (Jacob w/ Christina Ohl) -> 1766, Andrew Dormeyer and Catharine

      ?sp (Jacob and Christina) -> 1770, Simon Kohder and Maria (recorded at Tohickon Ref)
      sp (Jacob Wolf and M Barbara w/o Samuel Voitern)-> 1771, J. Jacob Kendel and Anna Catharine
      sp (Barbara Wolf) -> 1772, GeorgeHenrich, decd and Elisabeth (I think not young Barbara)

      (Elisabeth) -> 1778, Jacob Kendel and Catharine [Wolf]
      (Elisabeth) -> 1779, Samuel Voiturin and Maria 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

      by land late of Jacob Wolff mentioned in estate of Martin Graff, Whitehall, OC 16 Aug 1798

      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
