1801-1827 Tax records for John Hoffman and his sons are consistent with the description given in his will, which indicates that sometime before the will was written in 1820, his land and stills were transferred to sons John and Michael, with payments to sons Adam and Henry and his daughters. The tax record suggests that son John inherited the land and stills in Codorus Twp. Son Michael was taxed as a single man from 1807-1814 and then disappeared from the Codorus tax record. Son Adam was taxed as a single man from 1804-07 and then was taxed with lots in the town of Jefferson from 1817-25.

Research Notes:
We are researching the parents of Adam Hoffman, who married Susanna Ruhl. Based on the Codorus Twp, York County will of Adam Hoffman, dated 1820, which names son Adam, and other evidence, we suspect that Adam Hoffman and Barbara Koffroth were the parents of Adam Hoffman, married to Susanna Ruhl.
We suspect that Adam Hoffman, who married Barbara Koffroth, and who died in York County, was the same person as Adam Hoffman, born about 1742, son of Henry Hoffman, in Heidelberg Twp, Lancaster County (now Lebanon County), Pennsylvania. The link between Adam Hoffman of Heidelberg Twp, Lancaster (Lebanon) County and Adam Hoffman of Codorus Twp, York County is given by a York County deed dated February 2, 1779, naming Adam Hoffman, of Heidelberg Twp, Lancaster County, and land which was subsequently owned by Adam Hoffman of Codorus Twp, York County. However, both Lebanon County and York County were formed from parts of Lancaster County, and both have townships named Heidelberg. Heidelberg Twp, York County is adjacent to Paradise Twp, where this Hoffman family may have held land, and is close to Codorus Twp, where Adam Hoffman died. There was a Henry Hoffman who died in York County with son Adam, so both Henry Hoffman of Heidelberg, Lebanon County, and Henry Hoffman of York County are possible fathers of this Adam Hoffman.
Some other researchers report that this Adam Hoffman was the son of Adam Hoffman and Barbara Springle [167], as did we, in the past. The only "evidence" we have found for this is in a Keith Dull publication that is now known to have many erroneous and discredited statements. We seek further evidence to identify the parents of this Adam Hoffman.

1789 Philip Hoffman patented land in York County, on May 15, which had been warranted on May 12, 1789. [170]
There are several records of Adam Hoffman serving in the War of the Revolution. Perhaps this Adam Hoffman was one of them.

Research Notes:
Mennonite records for Barbara Caffroth. [179] [180]
The tax record dated 1800 shows considerable confusion by the tax collector about the assets of two men named Adam Hoff and John Hoffman. Perhaps this ambiguity also affects other documents cited here.
We suspect that there were at least two other men in York County named Adam Hoffman at this time:
Adam Hoffman married to Christina. On 27 April 1775, Adam Hoffman, yeoman of York Twp, York County, and his wife Christina sold two tracts of land in Windsor Twp, York County, to Lawrence Reiter of Lebanon County. One tract was surveyed to John Klein and was adjacent to lands of Peter Reisinger, Philip Millhoff, and George Wambach. The other tract was surveyed to John Klein and was adjacent to lands of Peter Wambach and Philip Millhoff. John Klein sold both tracts to Adam Hoffman on 1 December 1773. [181] On 14 May 1780, Adam Hoffman and wife Christine had son John baptized at Christ Lutheran Church, York, York County. [182]
Adam Hoffman married to Barbara Springle [183]
Is there a link to Heinrich Hoffman and wife Christena, of Maryland?
1799 Adam Hofman and Barbara Hofman were sponsors at the baptism of Anna Maria Hoffman, daughter of Henrich and Christena Hoffman, on September 29, 1799, in Manchester County, Maryland. [184]
The baptismal record of Anna Maria records that Heinrich Hoffman and wife Christena were the parents of several children, including Michael Hoffman, born 1804 in Maryland. Michael Hoffman, born 1804, and Catherine Leonard are plausibly the parents of John Henry Hoffman, through whom Robert Wolfe has a DNA match. [185]
