Larry,

Thank you for your June 8 comments on the Mary Woolf and Augustine Woolf entry in the 1789 Tithable list for Shenandoah County. I think you are correct in assuming that the Mary Woolf in the Shenandoah 1789 tithable list is a widow and that Augustine is her son and tithable.      

In 1779 this Mary with Godfrey Wilkins was involved in the adm. of the estate of desc. Jacob Wolf, her assumed husband. In the 1783 list of heads of families in Shenandoah Co., I find her with 9 whites and living next to her father-in-law, Jacob Wolf, Sr. In the same list I find another Mary Wolf with 5 whites. I am wondering if the second Mary should be Margaret instead of Mary. In 1782 Margaret Wolf and Samuel Rodenheifer were charged with the administration of the estate of desc. Augustine Wolf. Margaret Rotenhefer and Augustine had married in 1773. In the 1785 heads of families list, Mary, wid. of Jacob, now has a household of 7 whites and still lives next to her father-in-law. No other Mary or a Margaret. I have no further information on this Mary Woolf, wid. of Jacob.

In the 1802 Jacob Wolf Sr. settlement, Will Bk. K, pg. 309, it lists the beneficiaries of the desc. sons Jacob and Augustine.
