What's That Last Name?

What is the last name of the estate being settled in the lines marked by the red dot? The last name is the same in both entries--one for the guardian's report and another for the administrator's report? What's the last name?

  1. H…hoff — Huiuerhoff
    There is an "i" as one of the squiggles between the initial "H" and the "hoff" ending. This is the best I can do. Nothing in the squiggles remotely looks like an "n."

  2. I don't usually disagree with Frustrated Sue, but I'm going to suggest that the name might be Huinerhoff. I'm probably wrong...but I have a surname in my family with two 'n's and it is often transcribed as Bourne[r] and several other combinations, too.

    Huiuerhoff but you could be right about the "n"

  4. The first looks like "Hulerhoff" to me. The second, "Huinerhoff"

  5. No "l" in the name, compare a couple of lines above in the name "Hill". I say Huierhoff.

  7. With some of the "e"s not being looped in other words it could be Hueuerhoff.

  8. True Pat. That would make it "Huiuerhoff" on both names.

  9. The first name looks like "Huenerhoff" but I can only see one "e" in the second name "Hunerhoff"

  10. The way the author dots his "i"s is interesting.

  12. Huenerhoff is the first one--at least my impression.

    Hunerhoff is the second one---at least my impression.

  13. How about Heimerhoff?-- look at the "m" in William on 2 of the previous lines.
