Regarding the search for the Duffee family; I can see how this would be confusing. In 1900, Kenton Co. KY, there is a widow Mary Duffee b. Apr 1852 in OH with children John b. Jul 1872 age 27 b. KY, Sadie b. Nov 1878 age 21 in OH and Margaret b. Sept 1885 age 14 in KY. That family lived at 1344 Scott Street on 7 June 1900. At the same time, on 1st June 1900, in the census for a Cuba military base, there is a John Duffy age 26, born Jun 1873, single, who was born in KY. His residence is given as 1344 Scott St. Covington KY. So -- this is the same John, even though the middle initial is transcribed as P in one and S in the other. I still see no evidence of the father George anywhere in 1870, nor does the NY family appear to be the same as this one. Ann
