Just thought I’d toss this into the discussion, although it has nothing to do with the topic of DNA. I have no direct ancestral connection to the JUNG (YOUNG) or HUFFMAN families who inhabited the Hunterdon Co NJ area beginning circa 1745-ish, but I follow them closely as these families attended the same church back in Germany as my BELLESFELT ancestors. Some of the BELLESFELT branches married into these two families here in America and possibly had even intermarried back in Germany. This online database contains information (which I cannot confirm) regarding the JUNG family who associated with the BELLESFELTS: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=dougfritts&id=I1387 Notice that Henrich JUNG lived in a village called Anhausen and that many of his descendants ended up in Hunterdon Co NJ. This online database has info, which I also cannot confirm, on a Harmon HUFFMAN whose son Johannes married a woman named Margite Anhuys ANHUIZEN and that this couple ended up in Hunterdon Co NJ: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=alberthart&id=I2548 I would venture to guess that the surname of Margite, wife of Johannes HUFFMAN, was probably NOT Anhuizen but rather that Anhuizen represents the name of the village (Anhausen) where Margite lived and that perhaps a genealogist along the way has misinterpreted the church records. The village of Anhausen is located within the district of Neuwied. Johannes HUFFMAN was, according to the database, born in Neuwied. If these databases contain correct lineage information and my guess is right about Margite’s surname, then perhaps these JUNGs and HUFFMANs of Hunterdon Co NJ knew each other’s families back in Germany. Food for thought, anyway! Roz BELLIS Alexandria VA From: David Hoffman <[email protected]> Date: 2008/02/22 Fri PM 02:04:26 CST To: Hunterdon List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Hunterdon DNA The DNA for my Hoffmans, who are from Virginia and not Hunterdon County, indicates that I'm probably not related to any other Hoffmans in the area where they lived. Instead of concentrating on a male Hoffman, I think I need to focus more on female Hoffmans. My thinking is that my first Hoffman (b. c. 1804) was born out of wedlock and the genetic material of another surname has been passed down. I belong to haploid group G, which I've not seen in any others of my surname. Of course, I'd love to see what the Hunterdon Co Hoffman lines are like. At this point, everything is in the realm of the possible. Incidentally, I'm descended as well from Peter Young (Jung) but have, as yet, done virtually nothing with this line.
