Richards Templeglantine and Meenoline Woulfes

*1/20 02 Update on Woulfes of Meenoline from Pat White in Dublin...

  Commentary from Pat White in Dublin on the Woulfes of Meenoline.  The Meenoline branch of the Woulfes was called the CHAPTER WOULFES and lived in Athea from about 1650. Pat says in about 1795 two CHAPTERS left Athea and leased a large farm at Meenoline (about 170 acres) which they divided. These original two pioneers were Michael ( Richard Woulfe of Wisconsins's great, great, great grandfather ) and his nephew John. I have photographs of the first house they built in Meenoline and also of the CHAPTER WOULFE vault in Athea where they were buried.

Richard's (Woulfe of Wisconsin) grandfather, Michael Woulfe was the second of ten children born to John R. Woulfe and Ellen Dunworth; he was Kate Woulfe Harnett's first cousin; many of his cousins emigrated to St. Paul, Min.

John R. had at least three brothers and his parents were Richard Woulfe and Hanna Hayes, our great, great grandparents. pw

   I also want to thank Richard Woulfe and his wife Sue. They have been most helpful with questions about his branch of the family... And she's working on a genealogy project of her own. I've added a link to their e-mail below.

***Here is Richard Woulfe's Great Grandfather John Woulfe and Great Grandmother Ellen Dunworth...***

Some of the children's names are missing or conflicting - but - given the record-keeping of the times and the way children who died young were often omitted from records, I'm 100 percent sure this is correct. mw

3 Ellen Dunworth b1836 + John Woulfe b10/6/1843

Children of John Woulfe and Ellen Dunworth...

4 Richard's grandfather, MICHAEL JOHN WOULFE - born 9/30/1862 in Meenoline,Templeglantine, Ireland. He died 06/11/1927 in Saint Paul, Minnesota at age 64. ***See Richard's Grandfather Michael John Below.

4 WILLIAM b 5/26/78in Meenoline.

4 CATHERINA b 10/6/81 in Meenoline.

***discrepancy in the names...Both JM and Richard list, Michael, James,Timothy,William, Nora (Hanora), and Catherine. But - JM's list shows a Mary Anne and a Richard...Richard's list shows a Patrick and a John.***

  Richard says birth and death registers that officially began in 1864 show Michael's name in church records in Temperglantine, and that his father John P. was probably a farmer.

This Marraige between James Dunworth and Margaret Mcauliffe tie Our Richard's family to the Athea Woulfe through the many unions between MacAuliffes and Woulfes.

Richard's Grandfather MICHAEL JOHN WOULFE married JOHANNA O'CONNER 10/10/1888 at the Church of Saint Joseph in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They had 4- sons. After his first wife died, Michael married ALICE BARNES (age 32) of Kentucky on 04/26/1911 at Saint John's Church in Louisville,Kentucky. They had one child. I don't have a date when MICHAEL arrived in the US.

MICHAEL JOHN WOULFE and JOHANNA'S children were...

JOHN P. WOULFE, b 05/15/1889 in Saint Paul..

MAURICE F. WOULFE b 9/15/1891 in Saint Paul.

MICHAEL WOULFE (JR.) b 7/17/1895 in Saint Paul.

RICHARD WOULFE b 9/15/1898 in Saint Paul.

Then in 1911, MICHAEL J. WOULFE married ALICE BARNES. (Michael is Richard's grandfather)

They had a son named Thomas when MICHAEL was 49 years old. Michael rose to became Assistant Superintendant for Mail with the Railroad, and after he retired, went to work for James J. Hill in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

THOMAS WOULFE b 3/2/1912 in Saint Paul, MN (Richard's dad)

Michael's son Thomas was our Richard's father.

Richard has a brother, Denis, and a sister, Susan Woulfe Plaster.

Richard has a scrapbook that belonged to his grandfather, Michael. He says it contains a curious mix of poetry about Ireland - and paystubs from his various promotions over the years.
