The old farm of Andreas Wolf is located in Cacalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, near Reamstown. On the site are three log buildings, one of which is without doubt the original homestead. The present owner is a contractor by the name of Harry Good, who has painstakingly restored and preserved the old house. When he tore off the protecting siding he found rice straw was used in the chinking. The old logs he had left in their original position, treated them and redaubed them so that he has quite an attractive and livable country cottage. It is his intention to renovate the other log house which he believes was bult later. The old log barn has been weather boarded but is falling in. There is an old well with a charming wooden post pump. Andrew Wolf's log house is the fifth home on the way to Shober's Mill from Reamstown. (A History of the Wolfe Family, by Herbert M. Turner)
IMMIGRATION: Andreas arrived in America on board the boat Pink Plaisance in 1732, and entered the country by way of the port of Philadelphia. (A History of the Wolfe Family, by Herbert M. Turner)
BIRTH: Birth year calculated from immigration list of 1732 in which he gave his age as 26. (A History of the Wolfe Family by Herbert M. Turner)
FRIENDS/ASSOCIATES: John Miller - "my beloved friend and neighbor" was named executor of Andreas' will
FRIENDS/ASSOCIATES: Adam Grall - Witness to will
FRIENDS/ASSOCIATES: Tobias Lihm - Witness to will

William, who was in the Shay Rebellion, was an early settler here [Fairfield County, Ohio], and it is said he came from Reading, Pennsylvania.
In the early pioneer days it was the custom to allow cattle to roam at large. For their identification cattle ear marks were devised and registered in the township record book... "Record of Ear Marks in Madison Township Fairfield County August the 15, 1814," [states]:
William Wolf's Cattle ear mark is a swallow fork in each ear.
About the year 1811 Valentine Wolf and his family came in wagons to Fairfield County, Ohio, and settled near Clearport, in what is now Madison Township. He brought with him his wife, three children, and five step children. They settled in the South West quarter of Section No. 21, of Madison Township, and later, through the government land office at Chillicothe, Ohio, entered his land and it was recorded at the Fairfield County Court House in Lancaster, Ohio, under date of October 22nd 1814. On this land he built a house of hewed logs. ("A History of the Wolfe Family," by Herbert M. Turner)
They found the coutry a wilderness and sparsely settled. The settlers made all their clothing on domestic wheels and looms. Every house had its hominy block. There was in the neighborhood a hand-mill, where people went and ground their own corn, and a powder mill that remained a long time. Distilleries were numerous. Log-rollings, raisings, and msuters were enlivened by plentious supplies of whiskey, and fierce encouters were not unusual effects. The blackbirds and crows were very destructive to the corn in spring and fall; but the squirrels and raccoons were far more so. The first salt was brought from the Scioto works, below Chillicothe, and cost four and five dollars a bushel. Which was fifty pounds. Puck saddles were used. Almost everything was transported on horseback for want of wagon roads. ("A History of the Wolfe Family," by Herbert M. Turner)
Valentine Wolf was one of the earliest blacksmiths in Madison Township. From the first he took an active part in the affairs of the township. Valentine Wolf and William Wolf and Abraham Shaeffer built a school house on the Schaeffer farm. For a number of years Valentine Wolf served variously as Township Trestee and Treasurer. Madison Township, formerly a part of Clear Creek Township, was organized with its present boudaries on June 13, 1812 and was named after James Madison, one of the early Presidents of the Republic. The first election of Madison Township was appointed to be held at the house of Valentine Wolf, and the first minutes recorded in the record book of Madison Township are as follows:
At an election held at the house of Valentine Wolf on Monday the 5th April 1813 for the
purpose of electing township officers, John Young Chairman, Samuel Shaeffer and David
Hamilton Judges, the following persons were duly elected, Viz: John Mitchell Clerk,
Valentine Wolf, Robert Young and Jas. McClelland Trustees; Barnet Milliser and
Sebastian Carpenter Overseers of the poor. Wm. Shoemaker and Chas Pixler fence
viewers. Adam Defenbaugh and John White Supervisors. John Wiley lister. Jas.
Chambers and John Van Wey Constables. Samuel Spangler Treasurer.Paid to Mrs. Wolf for the use of the house $1.00
Of the men mentioned in these minutes it is of interest to note that John Young was the Father of Delilah Jane Young who later married Salem Wolf, son of Valentine Wolf. Robert Young was the brother of John Young. Samuel Spangler was the father of Barbara Spangler who later married Ezra Wolf, son of Valentine Wolf. The office of "overseer of the poor" has long since passed out of existance for it was frequently the uncharitable practice in former days to assign the care of the aged and indigent to the lowest bidder who stood to profit by hard and cruel and inhuman labor imposed upon his charges. The office of "fence viewer" has likewise ceased to be. In the early pioneer days it was the custom to allow cattle to roam at large. For their identification cattle ear marks were devised and registered in the township record book... "Record of Ear Marks in Madison Township Fairfield County August the 15, 1814," [states]:
Valentine Wolf's Cattle Ear Mark is a Crop of the Left ear and a Swallow fork in the
Right ear.Valentine Wolf kept an account book, or day book, dating from the year he settled in Madison Twp., till the time of his death. ("A History of the Wolfe Family," by Herbert M. Turner, Page 6 & 7)
