The name of the mother of Edward Charles Wolf was always thought to be
Agnes Lorenz. However, the 1870 Census Records of Magnolia Twp, Putnam
County, IL shows her family name to be Lawrence and she was therein recorded
as having born in Prussia, in Germany.
The family name apparently was changed to Lawrence by the census taker both
in 1870 and in 1880 when Barbara Lorenz was listed as residing with Elizabeth
and Michael Matern and was listed as Barbara Lawrence.
The spelling Lawrence was never used by the family. The name Lorenz is on
the tombstone of Antone Lorenz and that is the name used in all accounts
concerning the family. It is established that LORENZ is the correct and
proper spelling of the name.
The census statement that the Lorenz family came from Prussia may also be
in error. Information within the family says it was Alsace Lorraine which,
at various times, has been part of both France and Germany.
