The couple had four children, but because they lived mostly before census records got detailed, I am uncertain about them. However, a deed of 1809 named the children and heirs of Gabriel Hoff, late of Kingwood as: Nathaniel Britton of Alexandria Township & wife Sarah Hoff; Charles & Elizabeth Hoff also of Alexandria; John Slater of Kingwood Township & wife Rachel Hoff; John Leigh of Amwell Township & wife Catharine Hoff; and William & Gertrude Hoff, also of Amwell.
Note that Nathaniel Britton, husband of Gabriel and Mary’s daughter Sarah Hoff, was probably the brother of William Britton, who bought the tavern lot in 1809 (below).

Gabriel Hoff died intestate in January 1790, about 62 years of age. The court named his widow Mary administrator of the estate along with her son-in-law John Leigh (married to Catharine Hoff).

On April 18, 1828, Chery sold the tavern lot plus another one of 1.5 acres to Gabriel Hoff of Amwell Township for $500.[3] After that notice in the Gazette, it surprises me that it wasn’t the Sheriff who sold the property at public auction. Despite this upheaval, business was carried on at the Point Tavern as usual. As far as I can tell, Bartholomew VanCamp was the tavernkeeper while ownership of the lot changed hands.

Innkeepers renting from Furman
The State Archives do have tavern licenses for the year 1781, including the tavernkeepers in Alexandria Township, which was the location of Furman’s tavern. They were William Davison, Charles Fleming, Benjamin Jones, George Newton and James Powers. As might be expected, there is very little information available about these gentlemen, and none of their petitions for licenses say anything about the location of their taverns, other than the township of Alexandria. None of them mention the village name, either as Hoff Town or as Pitts Town, so there is no way to tell who if any of them ran the Pittstown Inn.

Charles Fleming is the most interesting. He was born about 1759, the youngest child of Samuel Fleming & Esther Mounier, and thus the younger brother of Mary Fleming, wife of George Alexander, about whom I’ll have more to say. But I know nothing else about Charles.

According to Ms. Brecknell (see part one), Pittstown was considered part of Kingwood Township during this time. I do wonder about that, but to be on the safe side, I also checked the 1781 petitions for Kingwood. There were only three, one of them being Gabriel Hoff, whose tavern was in Baptistown. The other two were Joseph Hart and Peter Howell, whose tavern locations were not mentioned.--- Furman by this time has amassed almost all Hoff property.
