John Blankenbaker from research by Margaret James Squires, The Mother ofMy Wife, (Beyond Germanna, Volume 1 No. 1, January 1989, p 4-6): John Hoffman, born in 1692 in Seigen, Germany, married as his secondwife, Maria Sabina Folg, daughter of Johann Michael Folg, deceased ofWagenbach. Twelve children were born to John and Maria Sabina Hoffmanfrom 1731 to 1751. For the first seven children, Maria Sabina's motherwas a godmother. The Bible records which John Hoffman kept did not giveher name. Instead she was listed as "the mother of my wife." Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Margaret James Squires, we now knowher name. She was Mrs. George Utz. How this came about is a story withsome complications. ... Before presenting the facts which Mrs. Squires found, it is ofinterest to note how she found them. She was looking throught themicrofilm records of the Evangelical (Lutheran) Church of Hüffenhardt,Mosbach, Baden, for another family having no connections with theGermanna people. She recognized the Germanna names and compiled theinformation given here. Wagenbach is a very small village without achurch and the residents attended the church in Hüffenhardt. Hans (or Johann) Michael Volck of Wagenbach married, probably about1685, Anna Maria ___. ... There is evidence of seven children born toJohann Michael and Anna Maria Volck ... Through the years when the children were born, there was muchturmoil, war included, and on occasions there are gaps in the churchrecords. Perhaps for this reason, the death of Anna Maria ( ) Volck isnot recorded. The records pick up again with the marriage of JohannMichael Volck to Anna Barbara Majer(s) on 27 JAN 1709. (Some recordsshow a final "s"; others do not.) To this couple, three children wereborn ... The parents seem to be of Wagenbach. Johann Michael Volck died 07APR 1714 at the age of 51 years. The widow, Anna Barbara (Majer) Volck married Johann Georg Utz on 10JUL 1714. Two children were born in Germany ... When George and Barbara Utzs came to Virginia, their householdshould have included their two sons, her three daughters and at least oneof her stepdaughters, Anna Christina, who was only 13 when they leftGermany. ... The identity of these families is certain. Maria Sabina has theright given name and the correct birthday considering the 10 daydifference between the German and English calendars in this period. JohnHoffman had a land patent adjacent to George Utz. Barbara Utz's givenname corresponds. The last name, Volck, is correct allowing for thedifferent phonetic values. Maria Sabina's father has the right givennames. ... This information is from the Descendants of Michael Clore Database © 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 by Cathi Clore Frost.
