Few records about the life of George Wolf have been found.  According to family and ancestry.com, he was born around 1790, died March 19, 1848, and married Mary Bary on April 27, 1811 at Falkner Swamp / New Hanover Lutheran Church.  His place of burial is unknown, though according to family record the funeral service was conducted by Rev. Frederick Waage of St, Paul’s Lutheran Church in Red Hill, PA (for a fee of $1.00).  

This was a time when a Pastor would travel to numerous parishes across town lines, and both Falkner Swamp / New Hanover and St. Paul’s are among the oldest Lutheran churches in the area.  However, neither have record of George’s birth or burial.  

Even less is known about George’s wife, Mary Bary.  Any records of her birth, parents, or burial are also missing.  Since only one child of George & Mary is known about, it is possible that she may have died in childbirth.  And, if the dates of their marriage and the birth of their son, Jonathan, are correct, Mary would have been about two months pregnant at the time of their marriage.
