John Hoffman/Huffman of the First Colony was first married to Anna Catharina Haeger, the daughter of Rev. Henry Haeger and Anna Friesenhagen. Anna probably died around 1729 because John Hoffman married as his second wife, Maria Sabina Charlotte Barbara Volck, the daughter of Johann Michael Volck and Barbara Majers. Maria Sabina was born in 1710, so was around 19 when she married John Hoffman, who was born in 1692. John Hoffman was instrumental in the First Colony, being one of the 3 immigrants that were naturalized in 1722, along with Jacob Holtzclaw and John Fishback, all of them Trustees for the rest of the 1714 Colonists. John Hoffman didn't stay at German Town, but he moved to the Robinson River and had land close to the Hebron Church. Something else that kind of makes all of this come around again in regards to John Hoffman is that 3 of his daughters married members of the The Little Fork Colony, all immigrants from Nassau-Siegen.

I am a Holtzclaw and Otterbach descendant. At the moment, I am researching primarily the Holtzclaw line that moved from Fauquier Co VA to Greenville Co SC with plans to expand my research as this segment is completed. >King George was formed in 1720 from Richmond County. Part of Westmoreland County was added later.< Henry Holtzclaw owned land in King George Co VA. This is not my direct line and I have not pursued this any further other than to note the name in the deed index when I was in King George County a few years ago doing some research.
