Jacob Wolf the Mansion and The Man by Bill D. Blevins Historic Wolf House: The
Family and the Times National Register of Historic Places the Home, Courthouse
and County Seat of the 1820's Confederate Pension Records NOTES: The Tinnin family left Arkansas following the Civil War and settled in Bell
County near Salado. Azariah soon died and was buried there. Amanda moved to
Bosque County where her son Jacob Wolf Tinnin and his wife lived at Morgan which
was a railroad terminus for shipping cattle to Kansas City. Jacob Wolf Tinnin
operated a confectionary store, edited and published the local newspaper, taught
school, and was a very active member of the Confederate veterans organization. He was noted throughout Bosque and Bell
Counties as a gifted orator and writer. Nothing much is know of the other
children. There is a Johnny Wolf buried beside Amanda in the Morgan Cemetery. He
was 12 years old when he died at her home. Since Amanda's maiden name was Wolf
it is known that he is a family member but this researcher does not know who his parents were.
Wolf family records say that Amanda was married a second time to a Judge Harley,
but this researcher has not been able to document that. Amanda's father, Major
Jacob Wolf was selected by President Adams to pioneer the territory where the
White River and the North River merged at a place called Norfork, AR. Thus the
family moved from KY to AR in 1818 and her father built an establishment that is
now certified as the oldest courthouse in AR. However the Civil War destroyed
the holdings and wealth of the Wolf family and that is how the Tinnin's found
themselves in Texas in the Bosque County area.
