- George Wolfe witnesses Norfolk Instrument No. 31, B & S dated August 26th, 1800, for 2000 acres of land in Walpole and Rainham Townhips from Captain John Dochstader to David Hoover as "George Wolfe, Fuller, of the Township of Walpole." George Wolfe purchases all of Lot 23, Concession 2, Walpole, 200 acres, from David Hoover on September 13th, 1800. His wife Susannah receives the front part of Lot 24, Concession 1, Walpole, 100 acres, from her brother David Hoover on September 13th, 1800.
From Dr. T. T. S. Harrison's Memories:
"Another arbitrary, quarrelsome and thoroughly hated man, was Matthew Gilmour, who lived on Gates Point, where he and his wife are buried. He was in perpetual warfare with his neighbours, particular the Sternamans and Wolfes, at the mouth of Stoney Creek.
One morning, just at sunrise, during the war, a man in American uniform, rowing a skiff, put into the mouth of Stoney Creek. Gilmour was lying tied in the boat. Wolfe came down to the shore and said, "So you have got the old devil, have you?" "Yes," they said, "and we wish you to help row him down the lake." Wolfe said he would help take him anywhere in order to get rid of him. They started to pull away, and then untied Gilmour and made Wolfe himself a prisoner. It was a trick of Gilmour's to spite the Government. They took him to Peter Walker's at the mouth of Patterson's Creek. Leaving him in charge of Mrs. Walker. She advised him to run, which he did."
George Wolfe is accused of being a Traitor during the War of 1812 and about 1813 moves to Clarence, New York. His 200 acres are confiscated by the Forfeited Estates Commission. George Wolfe of the Township of Clarence, in the County of Erie, State of New York, Yeoman, and Susannah his Wife, sell her 100 acres to George Boyer in 1834.
On the 1820 Census of New York, County of Niagara, Town of Clarence is:
George Wolf on Page 58 seven from the bottom with 1 0 0 2 0 1 1 1 1 0 1.
Males: to 10, to 16, to 18, to 26, to 45, 45 &c,
Females: to 10, to 16, to 18, to 26, to 45, 45 &c
On the 1850 Census of Saline, Washtenaw, Michigan are:
George Wolf, 72, Male, Value of Real Estate 300, born Pa
Susannah Wolf, 83, Female, born Pa
Elizabeth Wolf, 40, Female, born Canada
Mary Wolf, 38, Female, born Canada
By 1850 George and Susannah are living in the Township of Saline, County of Washtenaw, Michigan. Their last known residence on their son Jacob's death certificate is listed as Michigan. On the 1850 Census it says "Value of Real Estate owned" and George Wolfe's is listed at 300.
We assume at this point Susannah Hoover and her husband George Wolfe died and are buried in Michigan.
