Do you happen to remember where you got this information, because I found on the Ancestry user trees (about as good as Wikitree for sourcing) a Johannes Poff marrying an Elisabeth Dellinger, and his father Johan George Pfaff being born 18 Aug 1752 in Lancaster Co, Penna, but dying in Hellam, York Co, Penna in 1868. (The links to FamilySearch are not working for me. They just bring me to the bottom of this page.)
