| Abstract | ". . . there is much ambiguity around his date of birth and a possible first marriage in Switzerland. This new research discusses the details and complexities of Matthias Hoffer's Swiss origins, provides additional information about his family life prior to emigration, resolves his date of birth to be close to the baptism date of 6 April 1719, and casts doubt on his marital status in Switzerland." |
