William Huff

(Ca 1818 - Aft 1865)



William Married Nancy Slone, 9 Jan 1839, Floyd Co, KY. William was identified as one of the heirs at law of John Huff, Sr, deceased in 1865.

1850 Census. Floyd Co KY, Hh 301
William Hoff, age 32, b. KY
Nancy, age 27, b. KY
James A. 7, Margaret 9. Mary 5. John W. 4. William, age 1 (in later censuses this son is Henry P. - they either changed his name, or William died prior to the 1860 census.

1860 Census. Floyd Co KY, Hh 399
Wm Huff, age 42, Farmer, b. KY as was his whole family.
Nancy 39, Seamstress
James A. 17. Marg/Mary? 15. Jno W. 12. Henry P. 10. Polly A. 9. Elizabeth 6.
Polly Hicks, 29
John Huff, age 90, b. VA
This census raises questions. Was Henry P., age 10, the same as William, age 1 in 1850 - or had William died? Is Marg, age 15, Margaret from 1850, or is she Mary - there is now another child Polly, age 9. Austin Vance, who will be the spouse of Mary A. age 28, in 1870, is shown as: Austin Vance, 18, Mary, age 20.

A descendant of William has had a Y-DNA test which matches the tests of descendants of Derrick Hoff of The Netherlands, later New Jersey.
