Marty, I would be glad to help with my Benjamin HUFFMAN/HOFFMAN of Greene Co., IL Problem is that so little info about him has been found. Here is what I have. Benjamin HUFFMAN, b. c1763 Culpeper Co., VA m. Peggy ______ in VA d. after 1830 census, prob Greene Co., IL Left Culpeper Co., VA c1806 In KY 1810, 1820 Censuses Wife, Peggy, died in KY after 1820 Child, James, married in 1827, Greene Co., IL In tax records of Greene Co., IL 1828 Date and place of death of Benjamin unknown. Children-born in VA and KY These children were married in Greene Co., IL -Rebecca, m. 19 Feb 1839 Benjamin THOMPKINS -Mariah, m. 15 Nov 1840 John GOAR -Nathan, m. 4 Nov 1840 Catherine Ann GOAR (my line) -James, m. 20 Mar 1827 Lucinda BORUFF -John, m. 21 Nov 1833 Parmella B. BOYLES -Purlina, m. 25 Oct 1832 Joshua O. CLARK -Nancy, m. 4 Nov 1840 Levi HEIGHTON It appears that Nathan vouched for his sister, Purlina, in 1832. Since Benjamin was in Census of 1830 and not the relative vouching for Purlina in 1832, Benjamin probably died between 1830 and 1832. Nathan seems to have been head of household of his younger siblings in USC1840, before he married in Nov 1840. Hope this helps, I still need to know where and when Benjamin died. Seriously,, Hugh
