This week I had the opportunity to visit Allegany County, specifically to see the land owned by my 4-great grandfather, Thomas Perrin, and subsequently by son James K. Perrin. This spread is located on Lower Town Creek Road immediately south of Bear Hill Road, including the northern third of Crabtree Folly (200 acres in the valley proper), plus about 60 acres on the hill west of the valley (Wheat Hill and Buck's Lodge). The current owners of the land, the Miller's, directed my wife and I to Agnes Slider, whose family had previously owned the land starting in 1906. She confirmed the Perrin connection according to the 1906 deed (which she had in her possession), and also told us of a cemetery on the hill. Called the Huff cemetery, it contained about twenty plain fieldstones, plus two stones of more modern vintage with the name Slider clearly inscribed. Looking through the deed records, it is apparent that this land was sold by James K. to Amos McElfish in 1851, who sold it to Jasper Huff in 1853. Jasper and his son William F. Huff lived there until at least the 1900 census. I am curious whether anyone on this list is familiar with the Huff family, and/or knows about this cemetery. I don't believe it is listed in the Rural Cemeteries of Allegany County book. I want to believe that it predates the Huff times, and may include graves from the Perrin family. Any information about the Huff's would be appreciated. Richard Perrin Day
