Hi Phyllis,

I have John HOFFMAN married to Margaret ANHUISEN but have information only
on his son Henry and Henry's 8 children. I also have about 24 HOPPOCKs, but
cannot tie them definitely to your information.

I hope the below information will help you in some way. It is the
information in the Notes that I have for John HOFFMAN.

!HISTORY: From "Portrait & Biographical Record of Hunterdon & Warren
Counties, NJ"..."The early generations of the HOFFMAN family of New York and
New Jersey are, from a genealogical point of view, still in considerable
confusion, but there seems now to be no doubt whatever that the common
ancestor of the families bearing the name was Marten Hermanzen HOFFMAN,
saddler, of Revel, who married (first), April 22, 1663, in
Brooklyn...Lysbeth HERMANS, of Ootmarsum, a town in Overyssel, , and
(second) in New Amsterdam, May 16, 1664, Emmerentje De WITTS, from Edent, in
Emberlandt....Page 1000.

!MARRIAGE DEATH: From "Portrait & Biographical Record of Hunterdon & Warren
Counties, NJ" Page 1000, (1) "John HOFFMAN, the earliest ascertainable
ancestor of the line at present under consideration, died between 1741 and
1748, in Readington, Hunterdon county, New Jersey. He lived in New York and
Readington. He was twice married and his second wife, Margaret ANHUISEN,
survived him. Children: Catharina; Henry, referred to below; Mary;
Frederick; John; William; Jacob."

Additional note: CENSUS HISTORY: This John HOFFMAN could very well be the
Johannes HOFFMAN listed in "The West Jersey Society's Great Tract in
Hunterdon County" by Henry Race, M.D, p. 1-4, which states: In 1753, Lewis
Morris, Jr. found 86 families on the Society's land in Hunterdon County.
(among others) Johannes HOFFMAN - 100 acres.
