=== From The Groff Book, Vol II ==="On July 26, 1738, Hans Groff and his wife Susanna granted 219 acres of land in Earl Township to their son, Mark Groff (E6) for (lb)20 and "love and affection." It also was part of the 1419 acres patented on November 18, 1737, and was near the land of Samuel Groff (E4) and Conrade Roodt. The 1758 Earl Township tax list shows Mark Grove owning 250 acres, including a saw mill.
The inventory of Marcus Groff (E6) was dated August 20, 1791 and totaled (lb)80.12.00. He dated his will May 18, 1779, and gave the 260 acres on which he lived to his only son, Marcus (E69), for which he was to pay (lb)1000 to his seven sisters and the husband of the eighth, at the rate of (lb)50 a year, divided into equal shares. Marcus (E6) provided well for his wife Anna and "my Brother-in-law Christian Huwer" during his lifetime. He added codicils on November 10, 1783, and December 6, 1784. The will was proved on November 2, 1791. Marcus Groff (E69) was also willed his father's smith tools.
Marcus Groff (E69) had six daughters and three sons. Marks Groff (E694) married his cousin Elizabeth Groff (E694) and moved to Canada in 1822. It was Christian Franz Groff (E6931) who compiled the 1867 chart of the descendants of Hans Groff (E). This chart proved to be an invaluable resource for this book."
