Re: DANIEL HOFF (Rev.): Geneal. Data Entry (~1746 NJ- 1802 VA)

Hello John,
In reviewing your posting "Somerset County NJ Archives Biographies.....DANIEL HOFF, 1746 - 1802", I notice that you do not have a 7th child of Rev. Daniel Hoff and Susan Moffitt. I believe that there is also a Pollly Hoff, born 30 March 1790 in Prince William Co. VA, who married Isaac Hill on 15 Oct 1807 in Washington Co. OH. She, in fact, is my ancestor. As to proof of the connection, I would have to dig through my records, but I thought I would check with you first.

Dear Greg:
Thanks for your earlier note to me on our common Dutch Hoff Origins.You may have noticed that I subsequently learned that my 4th X Grt. Grandfather was apparently NOT the Rev. DANIEL HOFF, but rather, the father of my 3XG Grandfather AMOS HOFF was from a different So Carolina HOFF line - that ultimately does end up back in the same NJ “Dutch” Hoff family lineage.If you go to Genealofgy.com and check the “Message Boards”, you should see the attempt to correct early Genealogical Data Entries that perpetuated the unintended error – until they were subsequently corrected.
I was aware of the POLLY HOFF/ ISAAC HILL relationship (having stood on their grave sites there in Washington Co., OH on a prior research trip there) and their migration from No. Virginia to Ohio in ~1802-05, with the rest of the Siblings/children of SOPHIA HOFF (DANIEL’s widow) and other related families who made the trek there cross country to Pittsburgh, and then down the Ohio by flat boat to Washington Co., OH.
I will add your missive to the Message Board on the Rev. DANIEL HOFF.Best regards, Cuz!
Cheers, JOHN SCOTT HOFF
