Susanna Hoffman was born May 3, 1708 in Germany. She was the daughter of George (E31) and Barbara (Seipt) Hoffman (E110), both of whom are buried in the Salford Schwenkfelder Cemetery in Harleysville, PA.

George’s mother, Ursula Anders (E106) was also a Schwenkfelder immigrant. Her husband, Christopher Hoffman, died in Saxony, likely before the Hoffman family began their trip towards America. Ursula died shortly after (or perhaps shortly before) arriving in 1734, and is buried in the “Pilgrim Cemetery” in Philadelphia. Her name appears on a stone with four names total, all of whom in fact died in 1734.

Findagrave.com provides the following information about the Pilgrim Cemetery:

Pilgrim Cemetery in Philadelphia, PA:
“This cemetery in the early history of Philadelphia was reserved for strangers, most probably for the many immigrants who died soon after landing on this continent. Its exact location has not been determined, having been obliterated many years ago. In all probability the present Washington Square marks its site [possibly under South Schell Street bordered by Spruce Street between Ninth and South Darien]. Hence, the names of those [believed to be] interred in Pilgrim Cemetery have been inscribed on the monument erected on the Chestnut Hill plot [Yeakel Cemetery near Chestnut Hill].”
[The Schwenkfeldian, Vol. 31 (10), October 1934, page 135]

Also among the four immigrants in the Pilgrim Cemetery is a 2 year old David Schubert, the toddler son of the David Schubert who later married Anna Krauss, daughter of Anna Heydrick.
