I believe that you will find that Balthazar owned and lived on 200 acres of property near the intersections of Elk Creek and Lyles Creek prior to removing himself and his family to the Davidson, TN area about 1801. (Not dead in 1798)
I believe you are most likely to find out that George Huffman was the descendant of Martin Huffman, who lived no other place than Clarks Creek after 1796 and died there in 1822. Major George Huffman signed his will dated 1848 with a very very unique signature which is an exact match for the signature of George Huffman that signed for his inheritance from his father Martin Huffman 1823.
Probably the most confusing thing to me was the use of the name HOFFMAN when by the time the family had reached the shores of America most of them were being recorded and in most instances writing their name Huffman. The second thing that was confusing was the practice of using the same names for everyone over and over, so that the only way to tell some of these families apart was to say where they were from like Clarks Creek or Lyles Creek. The third thing was the Hoffman's of North Carolina that based its family ties based on verbal interviews from older residents. This book listed only three children for Balthazar and I can prove by unique signature, that Major George Huffman, is incorrect. He is in fact the son of Martin Huffman. The book also says that Balthazar was killed in GA in 1798 and in fact he was still living in TN upto about 1830 with his son Solomon. His son George was in TN also, not in NC where Major George was located. Lorena Shell Eaker also lists George Huffman as the son of Martin in her book, German Speaking People west of the Catawba River in NC 1750-1800.
