Sarah Huff

(1794 - )



Who is this Sarah?
1850 Census. Carroll Co VA, Hh 431
Sarah Maybry, age 23, b. VA [daughter of Mathew?]
Susan S., age 1, b. VA
Francis Huff, age 81 [birth year of about 1769], b. VA

Others have suggested she married a Thompson.

Sarah might even have been the mother of a baseborn son, Mathew B. Huff, found in Grayson co in 1850. Sarah appears to have been about 15 years older than Mathew.

Sarah is not positively identified.
My uncles's atDNA shows matches to at least four descendants of a Sarah Huff/Hoff and they also have matches to some of John Huff's children by Elizabeth Pratt. On 2 Sep 1844, in Franklin Co, VA, Sarah Huff was married to Jacob H. Sigmon. They went on to have eight children. She is listed in a Virginia Death index as having died 25 Jul 1858 in Franklin Co, as a widow - but her father is listed as Joseph Huff, not John.
Jacob and Sarah are in FranklinCo in 1850 - he was 65; she was 50 (born 1800). Living with them: Thomas, age 25, Lewis age 22, and Lucinda, age 12.
The possibility exists that this Sarah was a child of a Joseph Huff, perhaps a brother or cousin to John.
