Over the past two or three years, I've browsed genealogy forums and Googled for numerous key names and dates. Everytime I find a Wolf family tree fragment, I save it into a GenoPro chart.

I've found two or three rather complete listings of the Lewis/Ludwig branch that tells of his parents immigration to Philadelphia in 1751 aboard the "The Edinberg".

There's a William Adam Wolfe listed as son of Lewis that looks about the right age. However there are several discrepancies:

- William Adam was born in 1792. Our William, if the census data was correct should have been born 1775 or earlier.

- William Adam died in 1857. Our William died in 1847. That could be a single-character transcription error somewhere along the way.

- William Adam was married to Catherine Huffman and later to Christina/Tina Chromer. Our William was married to Laura Jane Hayes.

William Adam son of Lewis

So, it looks like that William probably isn't the one we're looking for.


Recently, I found this at www.lds.org:
Lewis from Stokes

This William could be ours except that the birth date seems to be off by one digit - 1782 versus our expected 1792. The interesting thing is that it shows Lewis in Stokes County as his father.

I've writen to the submitter, Pinkney Smith, and I'll post his response, here.
