HENRY HOFF, son of Henry and Mary (Moul) Hoff, was born in Manchester Township, 
York Co., Penn., March 16, 1830, and was reared on his father’s farm.  The father 
was born in this township, and the mother in Heidelberg Township, near Hanover, 
Penn.  They had six children:  John, Rebecca, Mary, Henry, Samuel and Susan.  Our 
subject was married, November, 1859, to Sarah, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth 
Baer, of Conewago Township, this county.  By this union they have been blessed 
with four children:  Albert, Henry B., Eli W. and an infant, deceased.  Mr. Hoff 
is the owner of a valuable farm, well cultivated and improved.  The village of 
Mt. Wolf, where Mr. Hoff resides, is built on land owned by his father, Henry 
Hoff.
