(Originally posted on this List, 16 Dec 2002, by Thom Faircloth.) This is Day 6 of The Little Fork Colony by B. C. Holtzclaw as published in the 1960 Annual Report of The Germanna Foundation. 7. Henry Huffman, Henry Huffman was certainly the John Henry Hoffman of Brother Gottschalk's report in 1748., brother of Matthew Hoffman of Bethlehem, PA. He is not to be confused (as has been done in the past) with John Hoffman of the 1714 Colony, who moved to the neighborhood of the Lutheran group about 1729 and is said to have founded "Hoffman's Chapel" of the Reformed faith there. He is almost certainly the Hans Heinrich Hoffman who landed at Philadelphia in 1734. On June 25, 1741, Henry Huffman (also called Hans Henry) administered on the estate of John Huffman, decd., in Orange Co. (W.B. 1, p. 155; O. B. 2, p. 400). John Huffman was probably his father or another brother who had come over from Nassau-Siegen. Mr. Huffman accumulated a considerable amount of land in the Little Fork, as shown by deeds from William Deatherage in 1747, Jacob Holtzclaw in 1748, George Wayman in 1760, and a grant in 1768 (Orange Co. D. B. 11, pp. 48 and 83; Culpeper D. B. "C", p. 284; N. N. Grants, "O", p. 153). A deed June 21, 1770, shows that his wife was Margaret Harnsberger, daughter of Stephen Harnsberger and granddaughter of John Harnsberger and Anna Purva his wife of the 1717 colony (Culpeper D. B. "F", p. 96). Henry Huffman died in Culpeper Co. in 1783. His will, dated April 15, 1967, and probated Sept. 15, 1783 (Culpeper W. B. "C", pp. 30-33), mentions his wife Margaret; son-in-law John Young; sons Tillman, John, Henry, Joseph, and Harmon; daughters Elizabeth (m. John Young), Mary, Alice, Susannah, and Eve Huffman. The daughter Alice became the second wife of James Spilman. Professor Hackley is descended from them. 8. Harman Miller. Harman Miller may have been a son of Jacob Miller, who was granted land among the Lutheran group in 1733 and was admitted to citizenship along with several members of that group in 1742 (Grant Book 15, p. 110; Orange Co. O. B. 3, p. 346). It is certain that Jacob Miller was connected with Germanna, for in 1735 it is stated that he was living in Governor Spotswood's quarter (Orange Co. O. B. 1, pp. 18-19). Harman Miller and his wife, Elizabeth Holtzclaw, moved to Halifax Co. Va., sometime between 1760 and 1764, and Harman died there in 1772. His will, dated Jan. 20, 1772, and probated Sept. 17, 1772 (Halifax Co. W. B. "O", p. 353), mentions his wife Elizabeth; sons Jacob and Joseph; and five daughters, among them Eva, Anna, and Mary. Harman Miller seems to have been a brother of John Frederick Miller of Halifax Co., who died there in 1789 and who had sons Jacob and Harman among a number of other children. 9. Jacob Nay, b. 1732/3, probably son of Johannes Noch and wife Mary (who m. (2) Harman Fishback). This family probably landed in Philadelphia in 1734, as indicated. Land was surveyed for Jacob Nay in the Little Fork in 1748 and the grant was made in 1752 (M. M. Grants, "H", p. 176). The Culpeper Co. tax-list of 1784 shows Jacob Nay, Jr., John Nay, and Samuel Nay close to Jacob Nay, and they were probably his sons. 10. James Spilman. He was son of John Spilman of the 1714 colony. We have indicated that he was in the Little Fork community in 1747, has assumed a debt of George Wayman, and was perhaps Wayman's son-in-law. His first wife was probably a Martha Spilman who died Sept. 7, 1771, as recorded on her tombstone just west of the Jacob Holtzclaw land in the Little Fork. James Spilman's second wife was Alice Huffman, daughter of Henry Huffman. Mr. Spilman received grants in the Little Fork in 1751 and 1775 (N.N. Grants "G", p. 492; "P", p. 159) and acquired considerable land in the neighborhood. He died in Culpeper Co. in 1790, leaving a will. By his first marriage, James Spilman had four sons, Nathanael, Charles, Thomas, and William. By his second marriage he had three sons, John (From whom Professor Hackley is descended)m, Henry and Philip; and three daughters, Elizabeth, Susannah and Peggy. 11. Henry Utterback. He was perhaps the Hans Henrich Otterpach who landed in Philadelphia in 1734, though the Utterback Genealogy contends that (in accordance with Rev. James Kemper's statement) the Utterback of the Little Fork and his cousin Henry Utterback of Fauquier Co., who married prior to 1746 Agnes, daughter of Melchior Brumback of the 1714 colony, were both born in Virginia, grandsons of Harman Otterback, the father of Mrs. Holtzclaw and Mrs. Kemper of the 1714 colony. Henry Utterback's wife was named Anna. He died in Culpeper Co. in 1799. his descendants are traced in the Utterback Genealogy. {to be continued} Thom Faircloth
