Most Huffmans in Venango County changed their name to it's proper spelling of Hoffman in the mid to late 1800s after decades of living with the fact that the English at the dock in Philadelphia on 28th Oct 1738, recorded it as our ancestors pronounced it - Huffman. Our Hoffman ancestors arrived with (their relatives) the Walter family on the ill-fated ship, "St Andrews".
