CONRAD AND ELIZABETH HOFFMAN AND FAMILY


These fifth great grandparents were married on the 8th of November in 1714 in Weckesheim, Reichelshein, Weteraukreis, Germany. Elizabeth's surname was apparently the same as Conrad's. They may have been cousins. I have a list of eight of their children as follows:

1715 Conrad, our ancestor
1717 Anna Margaretha
1719 Johannes Michael
1720 Anna Elisabetha
unk  Johannes Adam
1725 Johannes Nicholas
1728 Johannes
1734 Clemens

The family resided in Wolfersheim, Welteraukreis, Hessen Germany from about 1716, and all of them died there but Conrad, who emigrated to America. Wölfersheim is a municipality in the Wetteraukreis in Hessen, Germany. It is located approximately 34 kilometers north of Frankfurt am Main . [Wikipedia]
