General Notes: Husband - Johann Bernard Wolff

---

He was born in Oberhochstadt, in the Palatinate, Germany. He was brought by his parents to America in 1739, landing in New Castle, Delaware, then under control of the colonial government of Pennsylvania. He left the farm about 1748 or 1749 and went to the town of Lancaster, where he learned the saddlery and harness trade and went into business for himself in 1753.

When the Colonies revolted from the yoke of Great Britain, he was among the first to swear allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania and absolve himself from all fealty to King George III. He tendered his services to the Government and was engaged in carrying the mails and he also was what would now be called a "Commissary Officer," purchasing supplies and horses for the use of the army, and his whole force of men were turned to providing saddles, harness, etc., for the Continental Army.
He was a strict and faithful member of the German Reformed Church.
