The Children of Andrew Wolfe
The Zion church, more commonly called "Herrolds," had a record
of confirmants who were confirmed and blessed on May 27, 1792, and
partook of the Lord's Supper for the first time. In this record,
as shown in the history of the Old Zion Church, is shown the name
of John Wolff, age. Another list of confirmants under the date
April 20, 1784, includes the name Anna Maria Wolff, age 17,
which also agrees with her 1776 birthdate. I have included several
records so you may comprehend the difficulty of the spellings,
dates, etc..
