I am looking for information on, or to connect with a descendant of this
Huffman family in Owen Co., IN.
I know so far that Michael, James and Daniel Huffman were born in PA. I
feel they came from Venango Co., PA.
Michael Huffman purchased 40 acres of land on 7-1-1848 in Owen Co., IN.
Michael and Mary are listed in the 1850 Owen Co. census, Jefferson twp.,
household #552 552
Michael 60 yrs
Mary 60 yrs
James 21 yrs
Daniel 18 yrs
In the 1860 census Owen Co., Jefferson twp, all three are listed separately
Michael 71 yrs
Mary 72 yrs (they are listed in Iredell A. Danley's household,
#1069 1049)
Daniel 28 yrs (right below Micheal and Mary, household # 1070 1050)
Martha A. 27 yrs
Clarissa C. 6 yrs
Anna M. 3 yrs
James 31 yrs ( James Huffman married Martha Jane Dyer on Jan. 15,
1851 in Owen Co., IN) #864 844
Martha J. 30 yrs
Mary C. 8 yrs
Sarah E. 6 yrs
Zurey E. 4 yrs
In the 1870 census Owen Co., Jefferson Twp, Michael is here but Mary has
evidently died.

23, 1861 in Owen Co.)
Marilda 36 yrs (daughter of William Foley)
William H. 8 yrs

According to another reasearcher, James Huffman shows up in Columbia, Marion
Co., Iowa in 1880, with another wife.
James 51 yrs
Sarah 50 yrs
Wm 18 yrs
Lydia M. 10 yrs
Jacob 20 yrs ( I have no idea where Jacob and Ella came from and with
Ella the same age as Wm)
Ella 18 yrs
I am trying to research this family. James Huffman is my gg grandfather. I
would love to connect with any living descendants and share info with them.
This is not listed anywhere in the Owen Co. records that I have seen yet,
but James' middle name was Henry. In William Henry Huffmans obit from
Beaver Co., PA it lists his parents as Henry and Marilda Foley Huffman.
THANKS!
