• Notes

  Apparently a teller of tall tales. Contemporaries believed that he was about 128 when he died. However first child in 1707 and last child in 1729 gives estimated birthdate between 1670 and 1690. (figuring no children before 17 or after 60). Per "A Huff Genealogy, Descendants of Engelbert Huff of Dutchess County New York"; There is no evidence that Engelbert's father was named Leonhardt, as appears in some online trees. Some genealogies refer to this person as Engel Hoff b. Norway, son of Engelbert Hoff b. Norway. During his lifetime all records used Hoff, Hof or Hoef as spellings of his name. Predominately Hoff, Huff was never used.
