  • Notes 
    • Although [WHS-1880a] does not list this individual’s name, there is no question it records the birth of John, 5th child of Casper and Catherine (Schaefer) Hoffman. John’s parent’s surnames, in addition to the given names of all 4 of his elder siblings are correctly identified in the record. The listed birth month also coincides with the month listed in source [US-1900-1k]. [2, 3]
