John Hoffman, 1714 Germanna colonist, and his descendants by B.C. Holtzclaw. FHC 874201 Item 1.
RESEARCHER: On 30 May 2005 Hugh [HFTHusma@aol.com] sent the following to T.Mason. "In what was to become Virginia's Spotsylvania Co. a fore runner of Culpeper Co., the family of Johannes Henrick HOFMANN arrived in 1714 with other indentured Germans to form the Germanna Colony. This HOFMANN was to be known as John HUFFMAN.
Next came in 1734 Hans Henrick HOFMANN of the group who settled in the Little Fork area of Culpeper Co., VA. He became known as Henry HUFFMAN. In 1746 another Johann Henrick HOFMANN arrived and settled near John HUFFMAN (1714 Immigrant), this man became known as Henry HUFFMAN also. This later Henry HUFFMAN is believed to be a younger brother of John HUFFMAN (1714 Immigrant). The difference between the two Henry HUFFMANs is their wives, their settlement location and their dates of arrival in Virginia.
Henry HUFFMAN (1734 immigrant Hans Henrick HOFMANN) was married to Anna Margaret HUETTENHEN.
Henry HUFFMAN (1746 immigrant Johannes Henrick HOFMANN) was married to Catherina SCHUSTER."

The first record of this family appears in German Heraldry. A nobleman named Steyham Visback (the midieval spelling of Fischback) is recorded in Westphalia as bearing a coat of arms as follows: "A crest of fish horizontal on a pillow of a triangular coat of arms." Record is dated 1359. Musen is a village of about 2000 people in a narrow valley. The little reformed church, built about that time, was destroyed in the "Thirty Years War." The church was rebuilt and the new records begin 1649. The parish was cut off from the neighboring parish of Ferndorf nearer Siegen, in 1727. The church was again destroyed by fire in 1892, but the records were saved. The entire village attends this church; there is not a Catholic in the town. The villages of Fishback and Holtzclaw are a few miles to the Westr of Musen. Present direct line records of the Fischback family are recorded at German reformed church, Siegen, Germany. They started in 1623 as earlier records were destroyed. Siegen is the large town in this part of the country, and is picturesque with its old castle high on a hill, its steep narrow winding streets, and high gabled overhanging houses. It is a thrifty place of some 25,000 people, largely engaged in iron manufacturing.
