| Notes |
- Wolf, Anthony, moved from Penn's valley into
Brush valley. He was originally from Lebanon
County. He purchased a large tract of land from
his father, George Wolf, Penn's valley, in 1803, which
now forms the farms of his sons, David, Henry, and
Thomas, and the parcel on which are located the
grist-mill and saw-mill. It is thought Mr. Wolf came
into the valley in 1799 or 1800. The brick house on
his farm was built in 1818, the sawmill about the
year 1812, and the grist-mill in 1834. There was an
oil-mill situated near the grist-mill, which was oper-
ated many years. Mr. Wolf was a man of influence
in the township, and his name is frequently found as-
sociated with the projects of public improvements.
He was one of the commissioners that located the
Brush Valley Narrows road in 1840, and it was through
his and Col. Henry Meyer's efforts chiefly that the
road from Wolf's mill to Penn's valley was made.
Mr. Wolf and Col. Henry Meyer were brothers-in-
law, both being married to daughters of Judge Adam
Harper, of Penn's valley. Mr. Wolf was born Nov.
10, 1776, died Jan. 21, 1852, and lies buried at Rebers-
burg. Sons : John, Jacob, David, Thomas, and Henry.

married to Isaac Long ; Lydia, married to George
Schaeffer, Madisonburg; Priscilla, married to John
Bierly, near Rebershurg; and Ann, married to Henry
Eothermal. The daughters are all dead except
