Looking for Info

soldierswife1206 — 2012-04-23 01:31:04Z

Hello, I am a descendant of the Dewolfs. My grandmother is a Dewolf through her father and so forth. My grandmothers name is Beverly Jean Shelby Dewolf and her fathers name was Arthur Raymond Dewolf and her mothers name was Helen Dewolf Carey. So to my knowledge from ancestory and hopefully its all correct I am related to Balthasar. From what ancestory.com says Balthasar is my 11th great grandfather. I'm just looking for any and all kinds of information to make sure what I do have through this website is true and accurate due to having a Dewolf family reunion this coming July in Indiana, and I'd like to share what information I have obtained. So any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Samantha

germaine_endres — 2012-02-13 20:16:11Z

I would be interested in this Pdf. I have the 6 Microsoft works disks from James DeWolfe of Marshall, Michigan, a geneaolgist who researched the DeWolf(e) family for over 25 years. My husband saved it as a CD from the original floppies, but when we moved it from our 2004 to our 2010 computer, it doesn't work as well (no columns in the spreadsheet, and columns are what determine which generation). But I didn't know that there was a 1926 DeWolf and Dolph reunion. My e-mail address is germaine.endres@gmail.com Thanks!--Germaine DeWolfe Endres

Putnam DeWolf and Hepsibah Gates maried ~1800

GermaineEndres — 2012-01-17 19:40:24Z

I know that Putnam DeWolf married Hepsibah Gates about 1800 in Vermont, but can someone point me to a source for this or advise where to look for one?. Is there a civil or church registry for Vermont, or for the town/county in Vermont, where they were married (Rutland)? I've had no luck with Vt genweb or a search of LDS records. Thanks.

Re: Book by Carol Maginnis

cmdep — 2011-10-11 19:12:02Z

I came across your post on RootsWeb regarding the book Dolphs and De Wolffs by Carol S. Maginnis.

I am currently researching John A. Dolph (b-1824 d- abt 1897) married (abt 1848) to Elizabeth Ogden (b-4/1827 d-aft 1910).

They resided in Clinton, Wayne, Pennsylvania. Together they had eleven (11) children.

I have been unable to find John’s parents.

I can provide a PDF showing John’s descendants.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having been born a DeWolfe I have spent a lot of time on this family. I never heard of the Swedish connection
nor the

Balthazar was quite a character to say the least.

Re: Charles DeWolf

villandra — 2011-08-20 15:06:38Z

I found your tree at Ancestry - if your entry is the Smith one. How do you know he lived in Bristol in 1850, and how do you know he married in Rhode Island? Census consistently says children were born in Ma, even in 1860 when they lived in Rhode Island.

Re: Charles DeWolf

villandra — 2011-08-20 14:58:23Z

I've been doing more prowling. They lived close by DeWolf family territory in Rhode Island until 1860. He or his ancestors were probably owned by the slave trading DeWolf family.

You might try testing at 23andMe, and see if you connect to that family. Descendants of that family often do connect to it despite it being further back than 5th cousins. Someone has been collecting their DNA snippets.

And if it's an option, do the Y DNA at Family Tree DNA (23andMe doesn't do it).

Re: Charles DeWolf

villandra — 2011-08-20 14:38:53Z

I've looked in Ancestry and came up with what you did.

Massachusetts bmd records to 1910 are online at NEHGR by subcription ($65 or something per year). I've posted on one of the more helpful Massachusetts lists and someone will probably do a lookup.

Re: Charles DeWolf

villandra — 2011-08-20 14:17:56Z

There are Black DeWolf's? Do tell!

Actually I've wondered where they all were, and I've also wondered if this could be the explanation for Black distant relatives at 23andMe.

Is there a DeWolf Y DNA project? If not there should be. You don't say if this is perhaps your own straight paternal line, because you don't give your own name. If you are a DeWolf, I'd get Y DNA testing done.

Probably either he was owned by a DeWolf, or his paternal line ancestor was a DeWolf - or both.

The DeWolf's shipped huge numbers of slaves. None of those that were sold at market would have given the DeWolf name to any children born of any shipboard rape. But the DeWolf's also owned slaves, probably not in large numbers in Connecticut. But Barbados or Guadalupe or whatever would have been another story. The founder of the line that shipped slaves had a plantation there and could have used many slaves.

Charles DeWolf

murchinson1 — 2011-08-19 18:49:46Z

I have been desperately searching for information on my 4th Great Grandfather, Charles F DeWolf. He was born in Rhode Island in 1829 and was listed as Mulatto on the census. He married Ann Jane Scott, Born 1830 in Canada and they had four children. Isabel DeWolf, New Bedford, MA 1853, Ann G DeWolf, New Bedford MA 1854, Charles F DeWolf Jr., New Bedford MA 1856 and Letitia DeWolf, New Bedford MA 1863. The family owned a consignment/ Furniture store in New Bedford as well. I believe Charles died around 1881. I would like to know how Charles received his last name if he was mulatto. Was he the offspring of the slave trading DeWolfs, or was the offspring of a DeWolf slave who took the DeWolf surname when his family was freed? If anyone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

kathleendeao91 — 2011-08-11 18:17:53Z

Thank you for checking. Deao might not look like an actual surname, but I can assure you that it is. I have DEAO well documented from 1850 until present time. I just can't find that spelling before 1850, so I am on the hunt for an alternate spelling....and I've tried many, many variations. Deao and DeWolfe lived in the same community in Stark Co. IL. I have other circumstantial or anecdotal "facts" that I was trying to prove, or dis-prove. Kathleen Deao

outwest6112 — 2011-08-11 05:41:58Z

No Eli in the document, I just checked it. Maybe it is a B and not a D? Deao doesn't make as much sense as Beau and D/B and o/u are easy to mess up in handwriting.Beau is an actual surname, but Deao doesn't look like one at all.

Re: 1926 manuscript Dewolf and Dolph reunion - read back to front

kathleendeao91 — 2011-08-10 19:52:29Z

Would any of you kindly check for an Eli Deao b.1824 in NY. He's my deep brick wall! Since the spelling was probably changed somewhere, I am not ruling out anything.. . and DeWolf and Dolph are definite possibilities. Many thanks! Kathleen

Based upon the extensive genealogy done by James Boyle DeWolfe which I have the entire record, Elisha DeWolf's parents were Oliver DeWolf and Amy Bishop. You will see that the spelling varies with an "e" or no "e". I have used James' spelling. One relative who when to Balthazar's grave site has the spelling without an "e". I can provide James' genealogy via email (I have winzip all the files)

My grandmother was Margaret DeWolfe of Wolfville NS (born around 1910). There is a museum there and also a lot of people living there who know a great deal of the family history. I suspect if you go there you will be able to find out the family tree. I do also know that there are many volumes of the dewolfe family history that a lady in wolfeville oversees and these volumes will have info also.

Re: Maritime DeWolfs

saranphil — 2010-07-19 02:59:24Z

My Great Great grandparents were Elisha and Margaret (Loveless) DeWolfe. I beleive they lived on the Loveless property in Scots Bay. They are buried in Scots Bay.

I think the Elisha listed selling land might be Elisha's father, He was a junior and this Elisha was a 3rd.

I don't know any other information

Re: Maritime DeWolfs

jerrychuntley — 2010-04-22 19:18:03Z

I have been wondering about Elisha DeWolfe who married Margaret Loveless. They resided in Scott's Bay and Black Rock, Kings Co., NS. The purportedly had fourteen children. One of them, Elizabeth, was the first wife of my grea-grandfather, Fales Newell Rogers. I descend from his second wife, Mary Belle Crowe.
In a petition to the gov't in 1836, there is listed an Elisha DeWolfe, Jr. and a James E. DeWolfe. The petition had something to do with the road in Scott's Bay.
Also, an Elisha DeWolfe sold land in Scott's Bay to Edward Comstock in 1828.
Do you have any information on these two Elishas or the James E. DeWolfe mentioned in the 1836 petition? I am of the mind that there were indeed two Elisha DeWolfes either resident or in possession of land here in Scott's Bay, and that this James was a second son of the first Elisha, but I have no proof. Any insights would be most helpful.

Re: Elisha Dewolfe bn 1808 Nova Scotia

jerrychuntley — 2010-04-22 15:56:07Z

I have nine children for Elisha DeWolfe and Margaret Loveless and there may have been as many as fourteen.
Oliver
James
Arthur b. abt 1851 m. Alice Parker 1885 in Sherborn, MA
John b. abt 1853
Thomas b. abt 1859
Grace b. 26 May 1862; d. 13 Mar 1901; m. Owen Fenwick Steele
Eunice
Everett
Elizabeth b. abt 1865; d. 13 Jun 1892; m. Fales Newell Rogers (my great-grandfather)[I decend from his second wife, Mary Belle Crowe]

As for the parentage of Elisha. One source I had (and have long since lost the notes on) stated that his parents were Stephen Brown DeWolfe and Harriet Ruggles. The Elisha born in this family was born on 17 Nov 1819.
There are property transaction records that show that there was an Elisha DeWolfe resident in Scott's Bay as early as 1828 when he sold land to John Comstock.
That being the case, I would question whether this is the correct Elisha, being only 11 years of age in 1828. Your birth year of abt 1808 is more plausible, but he would still be only 20 yearsof age. It makes me wonder if there was an Elisha DeWolfe Sr. living here pre-1828.
In an petition to the government for road improvements in 1836 there are two DeWolfe's who put their name upon it; Elisha DeWolfe, Jr. and James E. DeWolfe. The "Jr." attached to this Elisha indicates that there was indeed an Elisha Sr.
By the time of the 1851 Census, there are no DeWolfes listed in the census for Scott's Bay. It appears that Elisha may have moved to Black Rock, Kings Co.,(maybe before 1851)as both Grace and Elizabeth were born there.
Other land transactions show that both Abraham Ells and Jacob Lockhart purchased land from DeWolfes in Scott's Bay; perhaps that was when the family relocated.

So, I would guess that the father of Elisha DeWolfe who married Margaret Loveless would be this Elisha Sr.. I'm not sure if this helps any or not. Just a few clues that I've picked up here and there on this family.

I have nothing on your great-grandfather, Oliver as it is with most of this family.

Jerry Huntley
