Jacob Huffman ²

  General Notes:

Probable place of birth of Pennsylvania.
But possibly Virginia.
------------------------------------------------
Spencer, Indiana 1820 Federal Census
Jacob Huffman
1 free white male between 26 - 44
1 free white female between 26 - 44
3 free white females under 10

However, if he died in 1809 (& his wife remarried in 1810), this would have to have been another Jacob Huffman.

Also, there was a Jacob Huffman who married a Mary Ann Hamilton on 22 Sep 1831 in Bullitt Co, KY (license on 21st). I'm not sure where, if anywhere, this one fits in.

From N. Russell 1 Jun 03:

I'm still pondering the Amos/Samuel Martin problem.
1810 Nelson County shows Amos with 4 small children in his household. 3
boys under 10, 1 girl under 10 - a male 16-25 and a male 26-44 which would
be Amos. since Amos had just married they couldn't be his children (well,
all things are possible I guess)

These small children must be the children of Jacob Huffman-Mary Ann
Gunterman. This makes me believe that the Mary Huffman that married William
Small was John Huffman's sister. They were the first guardians of all 5
of John and Mary Ann children. They married 1824 in Spencer Co. I'm
betting the other boys were Jacob and George. or maybe William.

A Jacob and Catherine Huffman moved to Spencer County from KY, about 1830
and they were the parents of the John N. Huffman that was a civil war vet.
