Cindy, I have some HOFFMAN'S married to my MIER/MYER'S from Old Monocacy, Frederick Co., MD. Don't know how much I can help you, but I'll print out your posting below and look in the few reference books I have in for the old settlement. I do have 1 question for you and ALL here. I've never heard of the Getzendanner Cemetery - by chance, do you or anyone on this list know exactly where this cemetery is located? I haven't run into that one "yet". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chrystie - ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS MYERS GENEALOGY http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > From: MD-FRED-GEN-D-request@rootsweb.com > Reply-To: MD-FRED-GEN-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 08:17:52 -0600 > To: MD-FRED-GEN-D@rootsweb.com > Subject: MD-FRED-GEN-D Digest V02 #93 > > From: SmoketownUniv@aol.com > Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 07:22:14 EDT > To: md-fred-gen-d@rootsweb.com > Subject: Hoffman family > > Still looking for any information on anyone in this family: > > Henry Hoffman b. abt. 1756 was a Hessian soldier deserted, later fought for > the Patriots in the Revolutionary War.
