General Note

"The Hoffmans who emigrated to the American Continent during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries can trace their ancestry directly back to Johann Hoffman who in the year 1413 was made Rector of the University of Leipzig in Germany."--P. 14. "The Hoffmans of North Carolina belong to a family of three pioneer brothers, John [b. 1705], George [1713 - 1794] and Jacob Hoffman [b. 1705], who emigrated to America with their respective families."--P. 19. John, George and Hans Jacob Hoffman, descendants of Johann Hoffman and sons of Hans Georg Hoffman (b. 1689) in 1751 "emigrated to Pennsylvania and later to N[orth] C[arolina]."--P. [24]. It is stated that in the spring of 1752, John and George Hoffman, previously of Berks County, Pennsylvania and Shenandoah County, Virginia " ... pulled up stakes and joined the German migration to North Carolina. The two later settled near Great Alamance Creek in Orange County, now Almance."--P. 25. Hans Jacob, who went by Jacob after he came to America in 1768, joined his brothers in North Carolina in 1776 after staying with relatives in Pennsylvania for several years. The brothers,all born in Germany, presumably died in North Carolina.
