  • Notes 
    • From: Venango County PA, her pioneers and people
      Mr. Hoffman is a worthy member of one of the most respected families in Venango county, founded here during the latter part of the eighteenth century by his great-grandfather, James Hoffman. The latter's parents came to this country from their native land, Germany, and settled in Westmoreland county, PA. There James Hoffman was born in 1773 and lived until his removal to Venango county in 1797, settling on the tract in Clinton township later occupied by Andrew Hoffman. Being a wagonmaker by trade, he was able to make agricultural implements for the farmers of the vicinity, and himself engaged in farming, making the first improvements up on his home place. He married Mary Ghost, daughter of Maj. Philip Ghost, another early settler in Clinton township, who was of French ancestry (not true), the family first locating in Maryland after coming from France, and removing thence to Venango county. Mrs. Hoffman died in 1848, Mr. Hoffman about that year. Their children were: Barbara, Mary, John, James, Daniel, Adam, Philip G., Jacob, Elizabeth, Christina and Catherine.
      James Hoffman, son of James and Mary (Ghost) Hoffman, was a carpenter by trade and also farmed successfully. He lived at Clintonville. By his marriage to Christina Monjar he had the following children: R. M., born Oct 15, 1835 in Clinton township; Dr. K. Ml, born Dec 15, 1836, in what was then Scrubgrass township; Coulter, father of Perry Edward Hoffman; Samuel; Philip; Caroline; Clementina; Mary, and Barbara.
