General Notes: Husband - Anthony Wolf


He moved from Penn's valley, Pennsylvania, into Brush valley. He was originally from Lebanon County. He purchased a large tract of land from his father, George Wolf, Penn's valley, in 1803, which later formed the farms of his sons, David, Henry, and Thomas, and the parcel on which were located the grist-mill and saw-mill. It is thought he came into the valley in 1799 or 1800. The brick house on his farm was built in 1818, the saw-mill about the year 1812, and the grist-mill in 1834. There was an oil-mill situated near the grist-mill, which was operated for many years. Mr. Wolf was a man of influence in the township, and his name was frequently found associated with the projects of public improvements. He was one of the commissioners that located the Brush Valley Narrows road in 1840, and it was through his and Col. Henry Meyer's efforts chiefly that the road from Wolf's mill to Penn's valley was made. Mr. Wolf and Col. Henry Meyer were brothers-in-law, both being married to daughters of Judge Adam Harper, of Penn's valley.
