Hofstatter/Hofstater/Hostatter.  There are many ways Hofstatter is
spelled, probably accounting for the fact that it is not a common
name. I can only think of one Hostatter-a quarterback for the New
York Giants.

I felt sure that finding Adam Hofstatter in Penn. prior to
1800 would be easy, but such was not the case.  I'm looking for
information on a Adam Hofstatter that settled in Senica County, New
York in early 1800s.  He was born in Penn. and married a Polly.  She
died Oct. 15 1822 in Senica County, and Adam died a short time later.

I know of two children, Adam Hofstatter (Jr.) born Dec. 29, prob. in
1821 in Fayette, Senica County, N.Y.  There was probably a much older
son named John and possibliy a daughter named Margaret who married a
George Heck.  John 'Hoofstatter' married Mary Forbs.  Adam (Jr.) was
raised by his brother and sister.  He married Lydia Rouse in Yates
County on April 25, 1844.  She was the daughter of Anthony Rouse.
They moved to Wadsworth County, Geneva Township, Wisc. Later (1870s)
the family moved to DeKalb County, Missouri.  A daughter, Amanda A.
Hofstatter married David Paxton Ashby, Adam Township, DeKalb County,
on October 4, 1877.
