        I am looking for parents of Clinton Hoffman. He was born about 1849. He married Caroline Woodling d/o Jacob and Tamer Woodling. I believe that they lived most of their lives in Pa and possibly Venango County.My grandfather John Clyde (Clyde) was one of their sons..I have not been able to find who Clintons parenys are for sure. Possible Daniel or David Hoffman/Huffman and Eliza. The Irwin Township census from 1850 has the children listed in different household other then with their family...I have not been able to figure it out. Othe rChildren were Charles Cline, Wilbur, Henry, Roy and Corry(Cora) I have yet to find all of them.My father is the only one of 11 children living of John Clyde and Sara(Adams) Hoffman d/o of John and Mary (Weston) Adams.
        I started a book for him and found through 1930 where his brothers and sisters were, but can't fint out who the parents of Clinton are...
        My father's family resided in Irwin Township and Clinton and Caroline possibly died there. I know that they lived with John and Sara(Sadie)until 1920 and can't find them on 1930 Census. They possibly died sometime between then...My father was born in 1919 so he remembers very little about his Grandfather Clinton and nothing about his grandmother Caroline...Any help would be greatly appreciated. We went to The old Hoffman farm in June, but there was a severe storm and could not get to the cemetary...
        Need to find death od Clinton and Caroline and any info on ancestors...
        Thanks,
