Hays Family
My great-grandfather, Theodore Clarence Brintzinghoffer, was born in Newark, NJ on September 19th, 1876. Each and every branch of his family tree came to America before the Revolutionary War. This is the story of his paternal grandmother’s line – The Hays.

Brintzinghoffers. 1650-1950
My grandfather, James Henry Brintzinghoffer, was very proud of his German roots and his family’s long history in America. He once told me they came over on the Mayflower – which wasn’t quite true – but it was closer to true than any of us realized until long after he was gone.
