I am researching my husbands line. Some of the surnames are WOLFE, Kimberlin, Tucker, and Wright. For the most part, these surnames have been in these two counties(Alleghany and Botetourt) of Virginia for over two hundred years. I put the other surnames here because they seemed to have married Wolfe's in more than one generation.

Debra. Thanks for giving me more information. Your names are not familiar to me, but they may turn up somewhere down the road.

Hi Sally, I have just started my Wolf research. All I have so far is George Wolf married Flora Rickey. They had my great grandmother Alice, who married Harry Sutton . My Dad was raise by the Egberts.

Hi, Debra. I notice you are following Wolfe and Hogg. My grandfather was John Mitchel (pronounced Michel) Wolf (no e) from Pittsburgh, PA. He married Annie Smith whose mother was Robina Mathewson Hogg from Scotland. Grandma was born in Scotland and came to the U.S. with her sister Ruby through Canada.

It looks as if my Grandfather had a brother George, but I have no information on him at this point (he may have lived in WV). Their father was Mathew Wolf. Other siblings were Regina, Mathew, Edward, Albert, Robert, Rachel, and Martha.

Anything sound familiar?
