It is my will that my beloved Susanna shall have free liberty to stay and live on my dwelling plantation (if she chooses) during her natural live, she shall live in the stove room wherein we now live ... But if it should so happen that my said wife should wish to leave my said plantation ... executors pay unto her dower the sum of one hundred pounds ... and give up to her ... the house and lot in Abbottstown, late the estate of Henry Shue, deceased, ... to my youngest son Andrew my big House Bible ... executors shall patent the remainder of my land that is not already patented and to build a barn ...

Research Notes:

Ronnenberg was east of Baumholder. [75]

Frederick Wolfe is registered as a Revolutionary War Ancestor. [76]

The farm of John Flickinger in Abbotstown, Adams County was previously owned by Frederick Wolf, died 1803. It was adjacent to land of George Henry in Berwick Twp. [77]

Richard L Wolfe reports the following:

Frederick Wolf came to America from Germany Sometime during the middle third of the eighteenth century. His first wife was Maria Elizabeth They probably were married after coming to America. They were farmers, and lived in Abbotstown, PA. Frederick Wolf held several public offices including supervisor of highways, township and county assessor, overseer of the poor, tax collector and judge of special election to select members for the 1776 Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention. He was also a member of an army recruiting group for the Revolutionary War. He served as a trustee and a member of the building committee for the Abbotstown Reformed Church. It is not certain where Frederich and Maria Elizabeth are buried.

"Emigrants from the Western Palatinate", Annette Burgett, 1985, summarizes the German church records for Jacob & Barbara Orth Wolf. Married 1716 in Baumholder, Rheinland-Pfalz, he and family left for America 1737. Jacob was born 1694, son Peter 1720, matching ages on the Samuel's 1737 ship list.

Peter's son George has his "uncle" Hannes appointed guardian after Peter's death [78], which suggests Hannes as Peter's brother, again confirmed by Burgett in the Evangelical K.B. of Baumholder. Burgett makes an interesting note for this family, that the sons' birth places were recorded in the Reformed churchbook, and the daughters' birth places were recorded in the Lutheran churchbook.

Jonas Wolf, born 1739, could be a child to this family, although no documentation has yet been found. Jonas is on the 1779 and 1782, 1783 tax lists of Berwick Twp. Both Jonas and Frederick were members of the Reformed Church of Abbottstown. When Jonas died in 1787, Peter's son-in-law Henry Noll administered Jonas' will. Frederick was named guardian of Jonas' daughter Elizabeth, and Frederick's son-in-law John Noll was guardian for the son Andrew. Jonas named his oldest son Jacob, as did Peter and Johannes (Frederick's second son was named Jacob), following the German pattern of naming the first son for the paternal grandfather. Jonas' other sons included Frederick and Andrew, perhaps named after the children's uncle and first cousin. [79] [80]

Two other Wolff families were members of the Abbottstown Reformed Church: Philip and Barbara Wolff and Henry and Catherine Wolff. [81]

Maria Elizabeth Wolf died between 1785 and 1791. Frederick then married Susannah, the widow of Henry Schuh, who died January, 1785. Susannah died about 1808, Frederick preceding her in death by a few years. [Information regarding Frederick and Marie came from a 1972 answer to a query from Mr. Ervin R. Wolf(e) to John W. Heisey, Director of Research at the Historical Society of York County, Pennsylvania] Frederick Wolf married, second, Susannah Shuh. [82]

Some researchers report Marie Elizabeth DeVries as the name of Friedrick's wife.
