Pvt. John Nicholas Hoffman, Continental Soldier (?)
Hi,
My uncle, John Nicholas Hoffman was born on March 21, 1749, in Berks County, Pa. He died on April 28, 1814, in Lykens, Dauphin Co. PA. During the American Revolution, he served in the militia. He served with Martin Weaver and Albright Deibler, of the 4th PA militia. (DAR)
I have notes provided by a descendent that suggest John also served under Colonel Richard Humpton, of the 10th PA Continental Line. (October 1778-1781), and later the 6th PA Continental Line. I am trying to verify if this is indeed true.
I would appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Stefan
