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..

  • ELIZABETH WOLF born July 23, 1776, baptized February 9, 1778. Sponsors were Jacob Zehner and wife Catherine.

    From German Reformed and Lutheran church records, Reverend Paul M. Ruff, Volume 1 and Volume 2 on Wolff families in Westmoreland County 1772-1804, the following was taken:
