a picture of an orange grove and told they could get rich on 10 acres of
citrus. She told how the family packed everything including a team of horses
on three boxcars. She continued to say that Mrs. Emma Wollam brought a barrel
of kraut and 2 barrels of cured pork. It soon got hot and they had to can the
kraut and cook the pork. They moved to Danbury, Texas in the fall of 1911 and
lived in Sweeny between 1913 and 1915. It is told that while in Sweeny, he

I was born on January 9,1863 in a place then called Fredericktown, in Columbiana County, Ohio. About 30 yards east of the house in which I first saw the light of day, very close to the bank of a roaring little stream, stood my father's cooper shop. This shop was deeply entwined in the childhood memories of my older brothers and sister.
My father was Alfred Wollam, born on January 8,1818, being 45 years and a day older than I. He was born near this same town, Fredericktown, about a half mile north and half mile east. His father Jacob Wollam was 26 years old at the time of my father's birth, or in the year 1792 being the year of his birth and the place was Old Virginia, a few miles to the south and west of Martinsburg, now in W. Virginia, on a slow moving little stream still known as Sleepy Creek. This Jacob Wollam was my grandfather. At the age of 12 years he moved with his father Baltzar Wollam from Martinsburg to Columbiana county, Ohio.
They moved by ox team and hand made wagons across a narrow arm of Maryland till they came to the Monongahela River. Here they stopped and built a crude raft, loaded all their things, such as oxen, cows,, dough troughs, ox yokes, hoes, wooden pitch forks, home woven linen clothing, guns, axes, boats, cow chains, harrow teeth, chickens, buckskin coats. A cabin was on this raft, in fact all they had. There were other families on this raft besides Baltzer and his boy Jacob. One man named Spahr (See Spahr Genealogy) with a little daughter 8 years old. This child, Elizabeth Spahr, afterwards became the wife of little Jacob and became my grandmother. Baltzer Wollam had sons Ben, John, William, Henry. Joe and Jacob. Baltzer was born in 1742 near Martinsburg and spent most of his active life there, as the records testify to his land transactions.
George married Susan Delaney on 10 Mar 1884. Susan died on 14 Jul 1913.
They had the following children:
