General Notes: Husband - Peter Wolf

---

This family, which was quite numerous in Penn's Valley, was founded in Centre County, Pennsylvania, by Peter Wolf, who came from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the latter part of the seventeenth century. He had previously visited what is now Centre County, and being impressed with the locality returned to Cumberland County, where he owned considerable property, which he at once disposed of with the intention of buying in Centre County. He received Continental money for his property in Cumberland, and by the time he got to Penn's Valley he found it was worthless to pay for his land there. He located in the portion of Potter township which was known as Wolf's Den, wild wolves being very plentiful in that neighborhood, and with the aid of his family succeeded by improvement in securing a home. The deed to the land was obtained by his son Abraham Wolf, June 18, 1810, after the death of his father.
