Christene, or Christiana, Hoffman was born in April 1776 in Pennsylvania. The name Hoffman means "comes from a farm".
At age 24, Christiana married Charles Wilderson at the Emanuel Reformed Church in Hanover, York County, PA. (I discovered a few men named Christian Hoffman, to suggest a possible father's name for Christiana, in York County, PA but I haven't been able to prove who her parents were, as yet.)
Christene and Charles had 9 children. Their names: Carl, George, Anna Catherine, Margaretha, Henry, Samuel, John, Martha, and Mary A. The only child that wasn't born in PA was the last one, Mary A., who was born in Newton, Trumbull, OH.
Christene died on the 26th of December, 1855 at the age of 79. She is buried at the Wilderson Cemetery.
