General Notes: Husband - Christopher Shoff, Sr.


He was born in Germany and came to America in early manhood, settling in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he married. They continued to reside there for some years, and then he purchased a farm in Centre County, near Milesburg, the first land he ever owned. In 1828 he sold this and moved to Clearfield County, locating in Bigler township on what later became known as the Thomas Lord farm. Later he bought the John Gill farm, which came to be known as the old Shoff estate, where he remained until a few years previous to his death.
