DEWOLFE

THOMAS WOLFE ARRIVED IN POMQUET BETWEEN 1794 & 1798. HIS NAME DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LIST OF THE  1794 POLL TAX. HOWEVER, HE MARRIED FELICITE JEANNE VINCENT DAUGHTER OF SIMON VINCENT AND THEOTISTE CYR IN 1798.

THOMAS APPEARS TO BE THE SON OF AUGUSTIN WOLFE & CATHERINE QUERINE WHO WERE MARRIED IN 1751. THE FAMILY MOVED FREQUENTLY DUE T0 THE ONGOING CONFLICT BETWEEN ENGLAND & FRANCE. THEY WERE IN QUEBEC IN 1760, CHEZZETCOOK-HALIFAX IN 1761 & ALSO RIVIERE ST. JEAN, NEW BRUNSWICK IN 1768.
