Notes - American Biography: A New Cyclopedia- Wolf. His direct descendant, Maximilian de Wolf, founded the Belgian family of the name. The title of Baron is borne by members of the family at the present time in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Livonia and in England, and these branches have borne arms for centuries. The prominence of the de Wolf family in early times is clearly attested by the fact of its many well defined and notable branches. Among the most famous of these were the de Goults, or de Wolfs, of Provence, (in the language of the South of France, wolf is rendered by "Goult"). The following is translated from "L'état de la Provence by l'Abbé Robert de Briancon ; published by P. Aubouen, Paris, 1693; "The French family de Goult-de Wolf-of Provence is, according to tradition, descended from a prince of Saxony. There is no more famous family in the Provencal nobility than the de Goults. The first recorded ancestor of the de Goults in Provence was Rostain de Goult. His son, Remond de Goult, received the barony de Saut from Emperor Henry V. in 1108. Bertrand de Goult, his son, distinguished himself in the war waged in 1150 by the County of Provence against Princess Etiennette des Baux. His descendant, Isnard de Goult, was appointed grand seneschal de Provence for the years 1284 and 1286. Another well known member of the family was Remond de Goult, who was sent on a mission by the city of Aix to Queen Jeanne of Naples, in 1365. Anaud de Goult, a knight of the Order of the King, was the founder of another branch of the de Goults, the lords of Mouriez. The house of de Goult bears of ancientry gold with azure ravenous wolf, langued armed and vilained of gules. Crest, a little town of "Goult," about forty kilometres east of Avignon in the department of Vaucluse. Exact similarity exists between the coat-of-arms of the de Goults, as described above, and that born by Captain Charles de Wolf, son of Mark Anthony and Abigail (Potter) de Wolf, who was of the sixth generation of the family in New England. This fact would seem to indicate a close connection between the de Goults of Provence and the founder of the family in America. However, it is thought by many eminent genealogists that the immigrant ancestor, Balthasar deWolf, came from the Livonian branch of the family, which is an offshoot of the earlier Silesian house of de Wolff. Of this branch traces are found as early as the thirteenth century, when the Scotch family of McDecor the Wolf left Scotland to escape political persecution and settled in Germany. The first record of the de Wolfs of Sagan, in Silesia, occurs in the archives of that State in the year 1452, when George de Wolff was plenipotentiary of the Dukes Balthasar and Rudolf of Sagan to the town of Goerlitz. In 1465, at the sale of a share in the town hall of Sagan, by Duke Hans, among the witnesses mentioned is "our dear faithful Hans de Wolff" (State Archives of Dresden, No. 4371). In 1474 a grant was made by the Dukes Ernest and Albrecht of Saxony to Jorge de Wolff over Hansdorf, Wolfsdorf and Klein Selten, in the Principality of Sagan. In 1539 there is a record of the inheritance homage of the brothers Balthasar and Casper de Wolff to Duke Heinrich of Saxony. In 1543 the letters-patent given by Duke Moritz, of Saxony, to the brothers, Balthasar and Casper de Wolff, over the estates of Hansdorf, Wolfsdorf and Klein Selten are conin America has satisfied himself that the immigrant ancestor of the family here under consideration came from the Livonian branch of the ancient de Wolfs of Europe. The crest of the Livonian de Wolffs is the same as that of the American family, and there is a widely held tradition in the family of Baron Ariste de Wolff, that early in the seventeenth century a younger son of the Baron of that day left Livonia, presumably for America, and was never heard from. Another tradition, accepted by some of the family, is that their ancestors emigrated from the Baltic province of Livonia to Germany, thence to Normandy, and from there to England with William the Conqueror. This would seem to be borne out by the names of the children in this country, which are those of the English Bible, and in common use in England. In view of the prejudices of the time, the fact that Balthasar de Wolf's children married into the best families of Lyme, Connecticut, would add further support to the tradition. (I) Balthasar de Wolf, or, as the name is spelled, Baltazer de Woolfe, is first recorded in America on March 5, 1656, when he was one of those presented before "A Perticular Court in Hartford," Connecticut, "for smoking in the street contra to law." At that time he was evidently a resident of what is now Branford, for we find his name on a list of persons who settled in that town between 1645 a"d 1660. In 1664 he was a resident of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Four years later he and his three sons were members of the train band at Lyme, Connecticut. It has been conjectured that Balthasar de Wolf was about forty-five years town, and was yet alive in 1695. Little is known of his wife Alice. She was living on March 5, 1687, when she is mentioned in a deed of land given by Balthasar to his son Simon. (II) Edward de Wolf, son of Balthasar and Alice de Wolf, was born in 1646, and died March 24, 1712. He is referred to in the records of Lyme, Connecticut, as a carpenter. He was a member of a committee to arbitrate the differences between the people of New London and the builders of a church. About 1688, Edward de Wolf was one of four to whom permission was granted to build a saw mill at Eight- Mile river. In 1701 he was granted liberty to set up a corn mill near the saw mill by his house. This is supposed to be the site owned by the late Oliver Lay, in Laysville, about two and a half miles from the center of the village of Lyme. It will thus be seen that he was also a millwright and miller. He was one of the volunteers in King Philip's War, who in December, 1675, surrounded the Indians in the Swampy Fort, and to whom the State of Connecticut granted the township of Narragansett, now Voluntown, Connecticut, as a reward for their services. Edward de Wolf probably continued to reside in Lyme, however. He was survived by his wife, Rebecca, to whom he had been married not later than 1670. (III) Charles de Wolf, son of Edward and Rebecca de Wolf, was born September 18, 1673, and died December 5, 1731. He married Prudence (according to some authorities) Patience Wrhite, and resided in Glastonbury and Middletown, Connecticut. He engaged in business as a dealer in general merchandise, and by his industry and thrift acquired a handsome propticut, the eldest of a family of ten children : Apparently he learned the same trade as his grandfather, for it is said he "went from Lyme, Connecticut, to the Island of Guadeloupe as a millwright." It is thought that he resided in the French Indies for the remainder of his life. There he married, on March 31, 1717, an Englishwoman, Margaret Potter, who never came to the United States. (V) Captain Mark Anthony de Wolf, son of Charles (2) and Margaret (Potter) de Wolf, was born Novembers, 1726, on the Island of Guadeloupe, in the French Indies. He was educated in a French school on the Island. When he was about seventeen years old, he was brought to Bristol, Rhode Island, by Captain Simeon Potter, whose sister Abigail he later married. Young de Wolf spoke several languages, and because of his proficiency in them became Captain Potter's secretary and clerk, and accompanied him on many of his famous bucaneering expeditions, and later commanded ships belonging to him. In December, 1744, a few months after his marriage, he sailed from Bristol, as first officer of the privateer "Prince Charles of Lorraine," which was under the command of Captain Potter, and on December 22, of that year, surprised and captured the French settlement of Oyapoc, French Guiana, making heavy reprisals on the inhabitants of the town. At the outbreak of the Revolution, de Wolf found himself in comfortable circumstances. He settled in Bristol, Rhode Island, where his house was one of the nineteen burned by the British in 1778. It was located at the south corner of Burton and Hope streets. After the burning of his home, he removed to Swansea, Massachusetts, for the safety of his family, where he settled on a farm, and, in 1793 he returned to Bristol, reinstated in his fortunes. On August 26, 1744, Mark- Anthony de Wolf married Abigail Potter, born February 2, 1726, in Bristol, daughter of Hopestill and Lydia Potter, and sister of Captain Potter. Their sons later figured prominently in the shipping and commercial life of Bristol. Abigail de Wolf survived her husband fifteen years, and died on February 7, 1809. Their children were : Charles, Mark Anthony, Margaret, Abigail, Simon, Abigail (2), Samuel Potter, Nancy Potter, John, Lydia, William, James, Levi, Mary and Elizabeth, twins. (VI) Margaret de Wolf, daughter of Captain Mark Anthony and Abigail (Potter) de Wolf, was born in Bristol, Rhode Island, September 8, 1748. She married, November 26, 1767, Joseph Diman, who was born in 1748, and died October 19, 1821, son of Deacon Jeremiah and Sarah (Giddings) Diman, and member of one of the foremost families of Bristol. The family is of French Huguenot origin, and was founded in America by Thomas Diman, who settled at Wethersfield, Connecticut, removing thence to Farmington. and later to Southampton and Easthampton, Long Island. Margaret de Wolf Diman died January 1810. (VII) Jeremiah Diman, son of Joseph and Margaret (de Wolf) Diman, was born in Bristol, March 26, 1770. He married, in 1794, Abigail Munro. Among their children was Mary, mentioned below. (VIII) Mary Diman, daughter of Jeremiah and Abigail (Munro) Diman, was born in Bristol, April 17, 1800, and died there August 21, 1876. She married, August 26, 1822, Captain John Smith, of Bristol. (IX) George J. Smith, son of Captain John and Mary (Diman) Smith, was born His direct descendant, Maximilian de Wolf, founded the Belgian family of the name. The title of Baron is borne by members of the family at the present time in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Livonia and in England, and these branches have borne arms for centuries.
