John Blankenbaker's Germanna History Notes

Note 1649

There has been some discussion recently about Huffman/Hoffman marriages.  I can add a little about some of the marriages.

Mary Huffman, who married Ephraim Fry or Frey or Fray, was the daughter of Tilman and Margaret ? .  Tilman was the youngest son of 1714 John Huffman and Maria Sabina Volck.

Caty Huffman married her half cousin Reuben Huffman.  Caty was the daughter of John, son of 1714 John and Maria Sabina Volck.  Reuben was the son of 1714 John and his first wife Alice Fishback.
(The above paragraph is as John composed it.  He corrects a mistake it contains in the following Note, Nr. 1650.  GWD-Webmaster)

The Hannah Huffman who married Jacob Fishback was the daughter of Michael, an older son of 1714 John.  Some say that Michael may have married Mary Fleshman, but I doubt it, as there seems to be no spare Fleshmans.

Elizabeth Huffman, who married David Fultz (a spelling preferred by Fultz family researchers), was the daughter of George, the son of 1714 JohnGeorge's wife is unknown beyond the given name of Mary.  There were a total of three Huffman-Fultz marriages in this family, which took place, I believe, in the Valley.

Mary Huffman daughter of Nicholas, son of 1714 John, and Nicholas' wife Elizabeth ? married John Stonesypher/Steinseifer, whose larger family was mentioned here recently.

Susanna Huffman, daughter of Baltz Huffman, son of 1714 John, married John Camper/Kemper.  This marriage was in 1791, and I was not aware that any Kempers were living yet in the Robinson River Valley.  Baltz' wife was Catherine ? .

A first cousin marriage is indicated (22 Mar 1791) between Elizabeth Huffman (Baltz, 1714 John) and Michael Huffman (Frederick, 1714 John).  Whether this took place or not is unknown to me.  There were not too many Elizabeth Huffmans, and an Elizabeth Huffman married Michael Zimmerman in 1791.  It was a second marriage for Michael Zimmerman (John, John, 1717 Christopher).

I could not find the 1792 marriage of Eve and Samuel Huffman.  Perhaps that is because Samuel was a son of the Little Fork Henry, and my records are weak on him.

Among the male Huffmans, there was no Elisha Huffman, son of 1714 John.  The date given for the marriage of Zachariah (1838) would say there is a generation missing in the sequence (Zachariah, Elisha, 1714 John).
