Managers of John Nicholas Wolfe,

I am contacting you about this profile: John Nicholas Wolfe

Hi. Looking at his timeline and bio, and seeing an old merge from 2014 "George Michael Wolfe was merged into John Nicholas Nicholas Wolfe", i noticed some inconsistencies. Some of his children were born in MD and VA, but other information says he came to America at age 8 and then lived and died in PA.


I’m not getting any clarity trying undo merges, so let’s start over based on un sourced source with five children:

https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/w/o/l/Kermit-C-Wolfe/GENE1-0002.html

Children of JOHN WOLF and MARIA BRESSLER are:
3. i. JOHN JACOB3 WOLFE, b. December 27, 1751, Berkeley County, VA (now West Virginia); d. January 08, 1811, Russell County, Virginia.
4. ii. CHARLES WOLFE, b. 1755, Pennsylvania or Berkeley County, (now West) Virginia; d. 1819, Hawkins County, Tennessee.
5. iii. MARY WOLFE, b. 1760.
6. iv. BARBARA WOLFE, b. Bet. 1760 - 1770, Possibly West Virginia.
7. v. GEORGE WOLFE, SR., b. 1765, Berkeley County, (West) Virginia; d. 1839, Hawkins County, TN.

Here's what I can find on his father, Georg Michael Wolfe/Wolff - his father was Hans Bernhardt Wolff and his father was Isaac Wolff (spelled various ways)

He was the son of Johann Clauss (Wolff) Wolfe (1619-1684) and Martha (Seger) Wolfe (1618-1683).

The more I'm looking this over, there was a mistake in the tree and the Wolfes aren't directly related to me.

I think it’s very easy to mixup Wolfe lines, and F.A.G. uncited notations like this one bother me:

John Nicholas and Elizabeth Bressler Wolfe are the parents of the following 18 known children: …

So I stuck to the study showing 5 children, and have completed.

I’m skeptical of this Family also:

George Michael Wolfe & Elizabeth Wolfe
