Bio

Nehemiah S. Wolfe has spent all his active life as a successful farmer at Given, where he was born February 14,1838, but since 1919 has lived retired at Ripley with his son Fred. He is a democrat, and is affiliated with R. S. Brown Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at Rock Castle. Nehemiah Wolfe married Victoria C. Smith, who was born at Letart, Ohio, in 1841 and died at Given in 1913. She represented a very historical family, being a great-granddaughter of Gen. Andrew Lewis. Gen. Andrew Lewis was one of the sons of John A. Lewis, a Scotch-Irishman who came from Ireland to America in Colonial times. John A Lewis married Lady Lynn. They lived on the frontier in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. It was Lady Lynn Lewis who was the distinguished heroine of the frontier who dismissed her four sons with the words "Go, keep back the foot of the invader or see my face no more," and these sons all bore an honorable share in the struggle for independence. The sons Gen. Andrew Lewis and Charles Lewis were officers in the battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774, a battle that many historians claim marked the beginning of the Revolutionary war.

Nehemiah Wolfe and wife had the following children: Cora, who died at Fairplain, wife of Benjamin F. Crites, now a merchant at Ripley; Austin Monroe, a farmer at Given; Edward L., a merchant at Dunbar in Kanawha County; Clinton, who was an attorney and died at Ripley in 1900; Lewis V., a merchant at Dunbar; Fred D.; Helen, wife of Luther A. Parsons, a farmer at Alice, Ohio; and Mary Augusta, wife of Alva Moore, a boiler maker living at Macon, Georgia.
