Rank: Garrison Member

From: Uncertain

Anthony Wolf, Alamo defender, was born on February 17, 1782, probably in Spain. Sources about his early life are contradictory. Several historians have speculated that Wolf was Jewish and emigrated to Texas from England, but to date no firm evidence of this connection has surfaced. He apparently settled in the Louisiana-Texas territory prior to 1818 and was employed as an Indian scout and interpreter.
