Research Notes:
1715 Hans Jacob, son of Isaac Wolf and his wife Catharina, was baptized on November 9 at Steinsfurt with sponsor Hans Jacob Shumann. [32] Was this a different man named Isaac Wolf, or did Isaac remarry and have another child late in his life?
1722 A Findagrave memorial has been created for Isaac Wolfe. [33]
Researchers report a plausible candidate for the sponsor at Abraham's 1686 baptism. Abraham Bonenfant (28 Aug 1658 - 26 Aug 1717) lived in Mannheim, Germany.
