Well, Jeanne, the Daniel HUFF of Maidencreek on the 1820 Census certainly seems like a possible descendent of Mary KERST HUFF! Any idea who his parents were? My Mary KERST married a HUFF before 1/1765 (when her brother's will was made) so would have been born at least 20 years before then - probably in 1730-40's. Sharon, In a Reading Adler OBIT I found Frederick HUFF of Hereford, Berks Co died at age 82 in 4/26/1816 making him born about 1734 and agreeing with your dates. I don't know how far Hereford Twp is from Maidencreek. Did John Frederick HUFF have any brothers? He actually seems about the same age as Mary KERST HUFF would have been. He married Susanna KEIM and had several children. Is there anything earlier for his ancestors Paulus and wife Maria ELizabeth? Other children they might have had? We are making some headway! Thanks for anything else on Daniel's parents or Frederick's siblings!
