Surnames: HOFFMAN, HAND, ANNELEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wQB.2ACE/1157 Message Board Post: I descend from Jonas Hoffman (d. 1810) through his son, William, and Williams' son John Hoffman who married Hannah Hand. Their daughter Deborah is my ggg grandmother. I have a copy of Jonas' interesting will where he goes into great detail about the property he is leaving each of his children. I saw on an earlier post that he also deeded part or all??? of the mill (possibly a grist mill?) to his son William in 1805. My questions are: 1. Where exactly was this mill? South of Hands Mill Pond? Did it abut the actual West Creek? 2. Did Jonas' son William die with a will? Did William own the mill at his death and if so, does anyone know which of his children got it? I find it interesting to see William's date of death on the Internet is sometimes posted as 1805, but he seems to have been very much alive in 1809 when his father Jonas made his will. Thanks for any help you can provide. Susan
