From Germanna.com:
- A recent search of the Hoffman line has led to clues which confirm that the first wife of Stephen Harnsberger was Agnes Hoffman. Agnes was approximately nineteen years old and Stephen was in his early to mid-twenties when the two were married in Virginia about 1741. No record of their marriage has been found. Credit is due to Germanna researcher Nancy Dodge for the first mention in May 1999 of the Harnsberger-Hoffman connection.
- The first clue which gives proof of the relationship is a 1773 deed in which John Harnsberger (son of Stephen Harnsberger and his first wife, Agnes) of Augusta County, Virginia, sold 70 acres of land in Bromfield Parish to John Markes (perhaps Marbes) of Culpeper County. This land was the remnant of a legacy left to young John Harnsberger in the will of his grandfather, John Harnsberger, Sr. of the 1717 Germanna Colony.
