Absalom Fletcher Hoffman: b. c. 1837, died after action in Nashville in 1864 (?) in
hospital. Married Martha M. Kious, daughter of Susanna Kious and Nathan Kious. Before he
went into the war, Absalom amd Martha (known as Mattie) had two sons: John N and Albert
G.
I live in the house Albert G built in Forest Grove, Oregon in 1905. I am researching him
for myself and his remaining family.
Among the materials I have is a Christmas card AG Hoffman sent to AA (Absalom Adonijah)
Hoffman in Courtenay, ND in 1909. Clearly they are related.
I would like to know how you know that AA Hoffman's father John S (who does appear in
the census records) married a Susanna Kious (presumably daughter of Susanna and Nathan
Kious)? Census records show him married to Mary (presumably Mary L Ferguson Waugh), but
not to Susanna...
