LOREN DeWOLF, the eldest son of Daniel DeWolf, was born in 
Winsted, Conn., on Dec. 23, 1792.  He was reared on a farm, and 
educated at the common  schools.  At the age of twenty-five, in 1817, he 
removed to Hartland, Conn., where he remained nineteen years, and then 
came to Colebrook, where he has since resided.  Mr. DeWolf has ever 
been an active and energetic man, ever willing to assist all measures 
tending to advance the interests of his adopted town and county.  He 
figured somewhat conspicuously in military matters, having been  
ensign, lieutenant, and captain in the old militia.  He is a consistent 
Christian, and for over twenty years has been a steward in the Methodist 
Episcopal Church.  March 11, 1817, he united in marriage with Miranda 
Osborn, and their family consisted of the following children:  Harriet A., 
born June 10, 1818, and Rocelia A., born Feb. 28, 1839.  Harriet A. died 
in 1836, and Rocelia A. is living with her father in Colebrook.
