Reference: History of the Wolf Family in Arkansas published by Dr. Casey
who was the son of Melinda Wolf Casey which states: "Aunt Liza
remembered him, of seeing him at grandfather Jacob Wolf's. Came there
before going down the river. Heard him sing some sweet songs, he was a
fine singer. Never married, never came back, lost his life. In
those days they would go down in flatboats carrying furs and produce and
bring to mouth of White river on steamboat and then keelboat them up to
Northfork."

According to Warren Wolf notes of 1936 while returning home to KY to
settle family business, he walked all the way. While upon this trip he
cam upon a cabin in the woods and a young woman hailed him. When he
reached the cabin door, she in much confusion told him she was expecting
a baby any moment, that her husband had gone for a doctor, but she
feared the doctor would not reach her in time and would the stranger
please stay and help her. This Martin did, and the child was safely
delivered before the doctor arrived. As Martin was preparing to resume
his journey, the woman called him to her bedside and asked him his name.
When he replied, ":Martin Wolf", she said simply, "That shall be my
boy's name."
