Individual Details
John Hoffman Senior
( - )
According to Jane Best, John Hoffman, Sr., along with his uncle, Robert Hoffman, came to Jefferson County, West Virginia, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania around 1775. According to Agnes Long, John Hoffman moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania around 1775, and then moved to Rattle Snake Run, Jefferson County, Virginia (now West Virginia) around Jane 1801. The key to picking the most likely dates is John Hoffman and Sarah Newcomer's wedding location, but I do not know whether they were married in Pennsylvania or in (West) Virginia.
