Sorry for the long delay in answering, but we have been traveling mid April and just returned lately with over 1,000 e-mails to address.In regards to Johan Theodor Hofius being a minister I have never been able to find any formal records.I do know he was the first Schoolmaster in what is now Schaefferstown, Pa and I have found over 20 baptism's with his signature on it.Since many of the schoolmaster's served in the ministry capacity it appears he did also when he left Schaefferstown and went west.
I also know he had a training manual ( I have a copy of the first two pages)that was left in Schaefferstown which was of a religious nature.He had developed it earlier while still in Germany.
Since we are leaving again early next week for another month I will keep you advised on our return of any new developments.
