My husband is a double WOLFE. His mother was born Kathryn "Marie" WOLFE on
the Harrison-Pendleton line and his father was Virgil Lee WOLF in Pendleton
Co. She informed him that he didn't know how to spell his name so they used
the "E". Both lines concentrated in the same few counties, repeatedly used
the same given names (George, Lewis, John, Thomas, and famous people, i.e.
George Washington WOLF(E), Benjamin Franklin WOLF(E) etc.), and many were
blacksmiths. Everyone assumed that there had to be a connection but no one
knew it.

Last December, in the Cynthiana (Harrison Co.) library, I found the answer.
(You may have heard my shouts of joy in CA or Australia.) Thanks to a lady
who sent me info with the caution that she knew there were mistakes (One of
those mistakes gave me a clue - second wife was listed as wife of son instead
of father and her children were listed as children of first wife), the
fabulous people in Cynthiana (Harrison Co.), and the BARTON PAPERS, I found
the answer. Marie and Virgil were 3rd cousins.

I am listing only these two direct lines here. I have much more info than
this.
