General Notes: Husband - John Theodore Hofius

---

He was born at Limburg, Germany. [DJTH, 1]
He was a native of Prussia and a minister of the Reformed Church, and was the first of the family to come to America. Upon his arrival in Pennsylvania he settled in Bedford County, removing thence to Washington County and later to Mercer County, where in 1800 he located near the borough of Sharpsville, in Hickory Township. He died there eight years later, at an advanced age. Some of the family in that county continued to spell the name Hofius. [CAB, 643, 986]

One of the pioneer families of Hickory Township are the descendants of John Theodore Hofius, a German minister, who immigrated to this country and settled in Washington County, PA. Nothing of his early life or his family is known by his descend­ants, further than in the year 1800 he came to Mercer County with his son George, who purchased a farm of 200 acres in Hickory Township, near Sharpsville. John Theodore died on this farm about the year 1808 at an advanced age. [HMC 1888, 866]
Clintonville, Venango Co, PA, Cemetery Book states that he is buried in Sharpsville.
