There is a book and two supplements on the Matthias Hoffer family.This book lists Roscoe C. Hoffer born Nov 1876 Dauphine Co.,PA and d. 1933, buried Campbelltown, PA.He was married 18 Sep 1897 Sunny Side, Leb Co, PA to Mary Alice Grumbine: daughter of Adam Grumbine.She was born Aug 1876/7 and d. 1938, buried with her husband.
This book lists 3 children:
1.Selma Hoffer: 29 March 1898
2.Eldora Hoffer: 29 June 1899, 1918
3.Russell Hoffer: 29 Sep 1900
"Ross" and his wife began housekeeping near Annville in So. Londonderry Township, Lebanon County, where their three children were born.He worked as a miller when they married.
This book has information on Roscoe's ancestors if you want me to send anything more.
I do know that information in the books are not totally complete because my husband's ancestor is listed in this book but none of her descendants are there.I think the simple answer is that she moved away and when Audrey Risser did research for this book she information was not available.It would be next to impossible to be able to track all descendants and they rely on people to provide information that is missing.
