Laban Miles Hoffman, Our Kin: Being a History of the Hoffman, Rhyne, Costner, Rudisill, Best, Hovis, Hoyle, Wills, Shetley, Jenkins, Holland, Hambright, Gaston, Withers, Cansler, Clemmer and Lineberger Families (1915; reprint, Baltimore, Maryland: Gateway Press, Inc., 1984), pp. 396–398; digital images available at Ancestry. Mr. Hoffman (1846–1934) collected oral history from about 1908 until his 1915 publication. Mr. Hoffman conscientiously analyzed the information. Another value of his publication is that some of his informants were people with first-hand knowledge. However, as was the custom of the day, Mr. Hoffman’s publication cites no sources, and, being human, he did make mistakes.
