Writes Joseph Kellogg: "He is supposed to have been the Andrew Wolf who arrived in this country in the ship "Hero", which qualified at Philadelphia on Oct. 27, 1764. He signed the qualifying oath list by his mark (Strassburger and Hinke, 'Pa. German Pioneers', vol. 1, p. 697). Andrew and Eva Wolf came west to Westmoreland County as early as 1774, for in that year Andrew Wolf was among the signers of a petition by early settlers there, endorsed 'Fort Shipin at John Proctor's Esq.'s', asking for protection from Indian depredations. (See Pa. Archives, 1st series; also Caldwell's History of Indiana Co., 1880, p. 138). Andrew Wolf seems to have lived in Derry township of Westmoreland County, where he appears on various tax lists, but a number of his children were baptized at Harold's church. Later he lived in Blacklick township of what later was Indiana County (or perhaps it was the same place, but township boundaries had been changed). He died there in 1803." |
