Hello all! Am new to the list & am looking for information on my ggggrandfather's family. He is descended from a line of Hoffmans who came from Sweden in the mid-1600s to settle in Cape May. Some settled in the Cumberland area. They were my gggggrandfather, Jonas Hoffman & some of his descendants. Jonas was born in 1730 Maurice River Twsp. Some of my info states "Salem Co.", while others state "Cumberland Co.". Jonas married Eleanor (last name unknown) who was born in 1734, Maurice River. One of their children, Jonathan (b 1753) married Louisa FOWLER. One of their sons, James (1788) married Elizabeth (last name unknown). One of their sons is my gggrandfather, Swain HOFFMAN (b 1818) in Lower Twsp, Cape May. Would like to be in touch with anyone who has ties to these Hoffmans that settled in Cumberland Co. I have read some of NJ history & realize this area is rich in the Revoluntionary War history. Through library info, have found that many of the Hoffmans were Loyalists. Have a lot of info to share on one of Swain's daughters forward. Hoping to hear from anyone on this line. Have a great Holiday! Beth Rutherford Oregon
