I was looking through our archives for any hints about my ancestors in New
Jersey.
I know, through John Wolford's pension interview, that John most likey lived
in Sussex County during the Revolution. In May 1777, he stated he went with
Capt John Pipenger, under Col. Jacob West, to guard the Sussex Court House.
He went out again in Sept 1777 under Capt. John Pipenger and Capt John Potty.
March 1778, he went with Capt John Winter, under Col. Jacob West, to
Elizabethtown. In summer of 1779, he went out with Capt. John Pippenger, under Col.
West, to Hacket's Town and north western wilderness area. In September 1779, he
went out with Capt. John Pippenger, under Col. West to the Blue mountains and
up the Delaware River to near the York line and under Major Westbrooks. In
September 1780, he went out with Capt John Pippenger, under Col. West, to
Morris Town Total service: About 4 months as a sergeant and 5 months and six days
as a private. (Some of the officer's names may be spelled incorrectly.)

John Wolford married Elizabeth Woolever and had their first child Jacob about
1790. They lived in Hampshire County, WV and later in Randolph County.

This is what I found in the book that may be of interest to Woolever and
Wolford researchers:
1773 - 1774:
Woolever: Peter lived in Greenwich, Sussex County
Woolwever, Woolwefer: Counrad lived in Oxford, Sussex County; Willi lived in
Greenwich, Sussex County

1778- 1780:
Warford, Rev--lived in Amwell, Hunterdon County
Aarron, James, James Jr, Mossis--all lived in Kingwood, Hunterdon
County
Wolever-- Jacob and Peter--both lived in Bethlehem, Hunterdon County
Woolever-- Henry, Henery --also lived in Bethlehem
Woolford, Wholfard (Wohlfard?) -- Martin -- also lived in Bethlehem.

The last man raises my eyebrows. Who was he? My John Wolford had a son
Martin. Is this a relation? I know John, Martin, Jacob, etc are very common
names in the 1700s/1800s, especially with German roots.
