Surnames: Willoughby and/or Hoffman - Holt, Delhi Township, Ingham County Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hFB.2ACE/962.1 Message Board Post: I am trying to trace the Willoughby family name from Herkimer, Herkimer County, NY, to Lake County, Ohio, to Delhi Township, Ingham County, Michigan. I have ancestors that traveled this same path, and I am trying to find out the connection. The town of Willoughby in Lake County, Ohio, is said to have been named for a doctor in Herkimer, NY, where my Hoffman ancestors originated (at least as far back as I can go). This same Hoffman family found its way to Holt from Ohio, and I've noticed Willoughby road in Holt and have now begun to find that persons of that surname have lived in Holt also. Anyone know of a connection between the Willoughby's of Herkimer, NY, and Holt, MI?
