Upon discovery of the possibility of two Johann Peter
Wohlebens, one b. 1677, one b. possibly 1674, (there is also a reference to 1679 - may be a transcription error) one descending from Walrath, one descending from his
brother, Hans Peter, more research is necessary to sort out the
actual lineage!
A note on Paul Welliver's copy of the Raymond Grant Woolever History says: "may
be a nephew of Wallrath; research continues - 1984". Also, Leone Everett's family group sheet says Johann Peter Wolleben, b. 1679, chr. 28 Jan 1679, son of Walrath, at Langen, West Germany.
She cites sources as a German researcher, and the Church Register
of the Reformed Parish at Bacharach, now in the Archives at
Koblenz.
pg. 14, RGW-Gares History: "Peter left from Rotterdam on 13
Jun 1709 as part of the third immigration from the Palatine and left
England on 29 December, 1709, arriving on Governor's Island, New
York on June 10, 1710, aboard the ship "Lyon." Settled first at
Beekman's Landing, West Camp, New York, on 04 October 1710. He
married Anna Rossina Forster in Germany following the death of his
first wife, Agnes Odenheimer, ca 1706.
Sponsors of Johann Peter were Hans Peter Baumann
and Anna Elisabeth d/o Arnd Kramer. He was referred to as a baker at Roxheim upon his marriage, and s/o
Wallrab Wolleben - citizen at Bacharach, md Agnes, d/o Niclass
Odenheimer. He, his wife and 5 children, were all on Capt. Johann
Rannel's Ship in the 3rd party of Palatines in Holland in 1709
(Rotterdam Lists). John Wollebe aged 33, his wife, sons aged 8
and 5, and daughters aged 10, 4, and 1, Ref., baker, were in
the 3rd arrivals in England later that yr. (London Lists). Source: A
Peter Wolleben appeared on the Hunter
Lists 04 July 1710; was registered on census lists on 04 Oct 1710, on 24
Jun 1711, on 29 Sep 1711, and on 24 Dec 1711. Peter Wohleben: 1 man,
1 lad aged 9 - 15 yrs., 1 boy aged 8 yr. and under, 1 woman,
and 1 maid aged 9 - 15 yrs., were in Ulster Co. in 1710/11 West
Camp census. Johon Petter Wollefen was Naturalized 8 and 9 Sep
1715 (Kingston Nats). Peter Wolleber and Anna Rosina with 5 children
were enrolled (next to Stephan Frolich and Anna Elisabeth (Peter's
sister) at Beckmansland CA 1716/17 (Simmendinger List), and on North Ward
(Dutchess Co. Tax Lists) rolls in 1717/18 thru 1723/24. Peter
Woollever was listed as a freeholder of Amwell in 1741(Hunterdon Co., New Jersey Freeholders).

Is it possible that these records include the families of two
separate Peter Woolevers?
RGW & Gares, pg. 17: "Peter Woolever, son of Wallrath, the
eldest brother, with his wife Rosina and five children, turned
south down the Delaware and finally settled among the hills of New
Jersey in the home of the Lenni Lenapes, on land that later became
the village of Ringoes, Amwell Township, in Hunterdon County, New
Jersey. He was one of the first settlers there; being registered as
a voter in 1721. From this location comes the majority of Woolevers
in America."
RGW/Gares History: "The date of death of Johann P. Wolliever
and his wife Anna Rossina are not recorded but it appears that they
are buried in the cemetery at Harrison's Corner. His first son,
Henry, died in 1739."

Forster are: dau. b. 1699; Henry b. 1701; Peter b. 1703; dau. b.
1706; and dau. b. 1709. Hank Jones says Henry was b. 1711. Is the
