    1. Huffman, Williams: Putnam Co, IN
    2. Seeking information about Huffman or Williams families in Putnam Co., IN during the 1850's and beyond. We have a letter written by B. Huffman January 1862; letter was added on to by a Lucretia Huffman. Letter was addressed to Philip B. and Malinda (Nugent) Williams and started, "Dear brother and sister." As such, we do not know if Lucretia is Malinda's sister or Philip's. We think we have all of Phillip's family names and Lucretia is not among them. His sister, Rhoda Ann Williams Moore, lived in Pike Co., IL and did have a daughter named Louvina and one of the letters is from her -- she says "we are at Mother's today" and announced the news to her Aunt and Uncle that she had recently married a Union soldier (on August 18); signature looked like Louvina Benefil. Also, 1960 Putnam County Census lists a Garrett Williams, Charity Williams, and Henry Williams, age 6. We know that Garrett & Charity (parents of above Philip) moved to Putnam Co, IN in 1852 (oddly enough from Putnam Co., MO) and then to Pike Co in 1963. Does anyone have any knowledge of this Williams family (especially Henry) during this period? We do not know if Henry was their son, or if he was, if he lived to manhood. I know this is a length request and may be confusing. Please e-mail me directly if you have any information to share. Thank you.
