They married in 1841 in Franklin Co. Henry was a successful farmer in Jackson Twp. In 1850 they had John (from his first marriage) Louis; Lorenzo; Joseph; Henry; Mary; George; and later, Sarah born after 1850. By 1860 there is no sign of Henry and Catherine. Little Sarah is age 9 and living with older brother John. Louis is working as a farm laborer and no sign of the others. It seems strange that the Hoffman's disappeared so quickly. There is no mention of them in the Jackson Twp Cemeteries. Can anyone help?
