If you are on the Orangeburg list I apologize for this repetition.

Sarah Wolf(e) was born in South Carolina in 1832. She was my grandmother.
That's
right--GRANDMOTHER. She married George Troup Embry of Wilkes County Georgia
[who
served in the War Between the States as a Chaplain with General Colquitt and
named my father
Walter Colquitt after him]. Two pieces of evidence rather than specific
written records convince me
that she was from SC. First, my father said that when George Troup Embry and
Sara Wolf got
married, her father gave her a feather bed as part of her dowrey, but they
had to GO BACK TO
HER HOME IN SC and pick it up. Second, George Alexander of McDonough GA was
the
grandson of Sara's sister, Dora Wolf. He said his grandmother was from SC.
This is the only
evidence except George Alexander's statement that his grandmother came from
somewhere "around
Orangeburg SC."

I've been to Orangeburg and spent two days there searching for some evidence
of Sara's parents,
but was singularly unsuccessful. If anyone has Sara Wolf information, I
would greatly appreciate it.

Shalom,

Joyce Opal Embry Winebrenner
