From G. James at Rootsweb.com:

Note: The Wolfe family came into York County, Pa. around 1751 from the Rhine Valley in Germany. John Wolfe Sr. married Catherine "Caty" Bare in Berkley County, West Virginia in 1778. Around 1783 they came down to North Carolina. and then settleed on the North Fork of the Holston River in Scott County, Virginia where they raised their children. John's two sisters Mary and Barbara settled in Sullivan County, Tennessee. John's two brothers Charles and George settled with their families in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Most of the families stayed in Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

John Jacob WOLFE was born on 27 December 1751 in prob. Berkley County, West Virginia. He died in January 1811 in Russell County, Virginia.

John Wolfe lived about 25 miles north of Winchester in Berkeley County, (West) Virginia, at the time of his marriage to Catherine Bare. He was known as a "genteel, sober young man." About four months after the marriage, he was present whenr was committed; the murderer was hanged, and although Wolfe was only a witness, he fled in 1778 to South Carolina and Georgia for over a year; he then returned and immediately took his wife and child to North Carolina.

In the spring of 1788, the family moved to a farm on the south side of the North Fork of the Holston River; they were extremely poor, but on December 6, 1790, he bought 50 acres where he then lived, from John Kearns, and on November 14, 179eght 50 acres from Dennis Coudry. The land was located at the junction of the river with the Tennessee state line about 4 miles from Gate City.

John was a strict, hard-working, and careful farmer, and he accumulated a sizable estate worth about $3,000 by 1806. He also peddled whiskey in the Clinch River settlements and may have traded horses in Kentucky. He also leased land to Roberefield. In 1792, his brother-in-law, Peter Bare, lived with him for about 4 months.

After several years John's mental condition began to deteriorate as he became increasingly depressed about his witness of the murder several years before. He sometimes realized when his fits of depression were coming on and would warn hiso stay away from him. However, according to Joseph Duncan, an employee, "sometimes he would immediately go to drinking and quarreling with his family and at other times he would pass over the course of a night before he would break out so very bad, during which times he and his wife would generally talk Dutch together...and he would make all fly." He threatened his family with physical violence and made many extravagant and scandalous statements about them.

His condition worsered after about 1803, when a blackmailer, named Stunn, came to John, falsely claiming he had killed Stunn's father; he also claimed to have a warrant for Wolfe's arrest but stated he would accept a horse as the price for ncuting. Stunn was arrested but escaped, and after this incident, John lost interest in his family and property as he became more depressed. Life in the home became increasingly difficult, so that Caty (Catherine) sent her daugher Hannah to llive with her aunt Mary Pope in June, 1805, and her son Adam Wolfe to live with his uncle Charles Wolfe in Tennessee. John threatened to desert his family, and after a severe emotional attack, he sold his 200 acres farm to John Weaver on February 13, 1806, for considerably less than it was worth. He then took his youngest son, Jacob, and went to the Moravian settlement near Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he apprenticed the boy to a saddler and loaned his money out at interest.

On April 12, 1806, after John had gone to North Carolina, his sons Henry and John forced John Weaver to return to them the 200 acre farm; Henry got a patent to the land in 1809. Then, on September 15, 1806, they agreed to furnish their motheuse where she lived, and each year to provide her with a half acre of flax land, 50 bushels of Indian corn, 400 pounds of pork, a bushel of salt, eight bushels of wheat, hay or fodder, a half acre of cotton land, fruit, pasture, firewood, three pairs of shoes and $4 cash.

About a year later, John returned to his family on the Holston and stayed with them about a year. He then lived in the home of Jacob Peters for about 2 years and then bought 250 acres of Copper Creek in Russell County, Virginia.He hanged hifre in January 1811, and his personal debts were settled and his estate sold in 1816.

The Wolfe family was involved in several lawsuits concerning the property, as Caty and her younger children sought a share in the land that Henry and John Wolfe had acquired from Weaver; it was eventually divided in 1821 among all the heirs.olfe sold his mother 137 acres of the farm on Janury 25, 1814, for $500; she sold the land on June 27, 1828, to her son-in-law, Abraham Lane, with whom she subsequently made her home until her death about 1835 in Scott County, Virginia Catherine BARE\BARR and John Jacob WOLFE were married about 1778 in Berkeley County, West Virginia.

General Notes
Posted 23 Oct 2012 by caroleickhorstwolfe

John Wolfe was born about December 27, 1751 and lived about 25 miles north of Winchester in Berkeley County, (West) Virginia, at the time of his marriage about 1778 to Catherine Bare. He was known as a "genteel, sober young man," althoughr he nor his wife was educated; neither could read or write. About four months after the marriage, he was present when a murder was committed; the murderer was hanged, and although Wolfe was only a witness, he fled in 1778 to South Carolina and Georgia for over a year; he then returned and immediately took his wife and child to North
Carolina.

The land located at the junction of the river with the Tennessee state line about four miles from Gate City.

John Wolfe was a strict, hard-working, and careful farmer and he ac-cumulated a sizeable estate worth about $3,000.00 by 1806. He also peddled whiskey in the Clinch River settlements and may have traded horses in Kentucky. He also leased laoert Stubblefield. In 1792 his brother-in-law, Peter Bare, lived with him for about four months.

After several years, Wolfe's mental condition began to deteriorate as he became increasingly depressed about his part in the murder he had witnessed many years before. He sometimes realized when his fits of depression were coming on and woulis family to stay away from him. However, according to Joseph Duncan, an employee, "sometimes he would immediately go to drinking and quarreling with his family and at other times he would pass over the course of a night before he would break out so very bad, during which times he and his wife would generally talk Dutch together...and he would make all fly." He threatened his family with physical violence and made many extravagant and scandalous statements about them.
