Sharon, do you find any Huff's/Hoff's marrying in to the Rockafeller line?
My Grandpa used to tell about the Rockafeller, as though they were really
blood kin, at this point I've not found a connection. But we're stuck with
our Anthony Hoff/Huff, (we don't know what his wife's name was), having
lived in Hunterdon Co., then moving to Northumberland Co. PA. then the
remaining parts of the family moving on to Ohio and then into Michigan. (I
heard some mention being made of that trend.) And ours did exactly as many
did.
