Michael Wolf - Generation III (as descended from Jacob2, Michael Wolf1)

     Michael Wolf  (Jacob,2 Michael1) was  the grandson of the  Michael  Wolf  who immigrated to America.  He was  b. 16 Sep 1764,  married to Mary  Magdalene  Catherine "Caty" Hedrick  in 1780 and then died 4 Dec 1831, Izard Co., AR.  Wolf family lore lists his wife as thought to be the daughter of Capt. Peter Hedrick (RN21), but after researching THE HEDRICK FAMILY as edited by Aubrey W. Hedrick, that fact cannot be established.    Without possessing positive proof documents, but with many  years of research,  I am going to state my belief as to who the parents of Michael's wife were. 

Hedrick Family Research:
Goedthmann Heydrick born about 1616 in Heupertsweiler, Pfalz, Bavaria and he died 24 Aug 1667 in Heupertsweiler, Pfalz, Bavaria. He married (1) Sarah Kohl.  He married (2) Margaretha Unknown 1637.  Children were: Enders, Abraham, antonius, Adam and Maria. 

Hans Adam Heydrick was born July 09, 1654 in Ulmst, Pfalz, Bavaria, and died 17 Jan 1729 in Oberalben, Pfalz, Bavaria.  He married (1) Maria Catheina Unknown 1674 in Germa;ny.  she died in 1691 or 92.  He married (2) Anna Elizabeth Faust, daughter of Nicholas and Maria Weber Faust on November 27, 1693 in Lichtenberg, Bavaria.  There were four children by the first wife and seven by the second wife.  One of these children was Christopher born 10 February 1703 or 1704 in Bavaria and dying 6 Oct 1781 in Berks Co., PA

Christopher Hetrick/Heydrick married Magdalena Sontag on 3 Jun 1747 in Berks Co., PA.  It believed that perhaps he had a marriage in Bavara before coming to this countgry.  So he either had a second or thrid marriage to someone known as Anna Barbara (maybe  Brosius).  The gap is evident between the ages of his children to reflect that a wife died and he remarried and had more children.  One of the younger children was Maria Magrathalena, also shown to be Mary Magdalena Catherina Hedrick) born 1773 and the person who married Michael Wolf, son of Jacob Wolf.   (Hedyrich and Hedrick family data is available on line for you own review.  It related how Christopher Hedrick got to NC. 

This is the data supporting the selection of Christopher and 3rd wife Anna Barbara Unknown as the parents of our Mary Magdalena Catherina Hedrick.
