Early Bergen County Families, compiled by Pat Wardell, 130 Crestview Drive, Englewood, FL 34223 • the.wardells@gte.net
-- HOFF, HUFF --
The family groups represented in this collection may not be complete, because information was entered bit by bit as I found it
or happened upon it; I have not done any systematic research on these families. Because they do not compose whole family
genealogies, these listings are arranged differently from most genealogical records or histories. Each listing is a family group,
and is arranged and filed alphabetically under the name of the head of the family.
Names are generally in alphabetical order (disregarding spelling variations and middle names), then in approx. chronological
order. The first sorting is by surname (mixing together any and all spelling variations), then by given name, then by approximate birthdate (when known) in approximate chronological order. For easier reference, surnames in headings are grouped together under the most common spelling usage that evolved in this geographical location, regardless of individualistic
spellings in the records themselves. Cross references are used in most cases where surname spellings substantially vary.
Within the quoted records, the individual spellings have been (mostly) retained because they sometimes provide clues (although in general—but with exceptions—they seem to largely reflect the record keeper's particular orthography and not always, at this early period, any special family preference). Those interested can see the variety and evolvement of a particular
name’s spelling and the interesting and sometimes amusing attempts at phonetic reproduction. Keep in mind that before
names and spellings were standardized, records reflected the individualistic whim of the particular recorder (often two different spellings of the same name within the same document). In addition, all records were handwritten, and sometimes deciphering a handwritten name in early records can be quite challenging! So expect to search under all possibilities of spelling
(for both surnames and given names).
Given names are grouped together without regard for middle initials or middle names. Because middle names and/or initials
are sometimes used, sometimes not used in various records, it seemed simplest to arrange entries as if the middle names or
initials did not exist. Usually all variations of a given name are grouped together as though spelled one way: Jan, Johannes,
John, etc. are all grouped as one (but also look under the other forms).
Sources and references are included with each "family" grouping, but may or may not include sources that are cited (or are
obvious, such as baptismal records, etc.) within the narrative or listing itself.
As with any compiled genealogical record, researchers should regard this information as leads and clues, and should verify
all data with independent research.
I welcome, and would be grateful for, any additions or corrections, especially with source citations.

Born around 1687 in Norway he came to America as a tenant farmer. He escaped or deserted from a Dutch warship in the
Hudson River and swam to shore to settle in the wilderness. This ship is believed to be the "Van Couwenhovens", stationed
out of Wappingers during the "Esopus Wars" in 1662. During Queen Ann's War he sailed as a privateer with Capt. Adriaen
Claver (who commanded the ship t Casteel del Reij).2
From 1740-1765, he lived on the Verplanck-Rombout property in Dutchess County NY, along the east side of the Hudson
River near Fishkill Landing. (Now Beacon).
