Jacob purchased his father Johan Nicholas's farmhouse after he died. He was very popular and filled many local offices in Lykens Valley; and in 1833-1834 served in the Pennsylvania Legislature. He also was very active in Hoffman's Church. This piece of information came from the Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin county, Pa., by RUNK & CO, 1896, page 117. Jacob served as a colonel in the US Army during the WAR of 1812. This information surfaced in an obituary on Jacob's grandson, John Harper Hoffman, which appeared in the local (Halifax, PA) newpapers in 1938. Unfortunately the obituary did not name John Harper's father in the obit. In the book: Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin County, PA, 1896, page 1183, it does list him, and thus identifies Jacob H. as being the father of Amos Hoffman.
