I accidentaly lost an email I believe was in response to my Samuel Poff quest. I think the email address even had Samuel in it. Might be mistaken. Please respond again and forgive the loss. I value all genealogy responses. Midge

I'm ready for some more great finds. Who can give me data on a Samuel Smith, born in 1826. Settled in Bangor, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Died in 1901. Was married to Mary who died in 1903. Their children's names were listed in 1870 census as : Franklin (also listed as Jessie) born in 1852 John " 1855 Josiah " 1857 Juliann (Julia Ann) " 1859 Ellen (Gustie Rose) " 1862 Christiann " 1865 Seymore (James S.) " 1868 Actual birth dates were listed on death certificates as follows: Samuel March 20, 1826 Mary May 20, 1829 Have no death certificates for children so no actual birth dates. I hope to have some good takes on this one. Midge

Tomorrow send me some names of your Poffs. There was a Samuel Poff said to be one of four brothers to come over on the Mayflower. Believed to settle in Mass. then into Pa. One of Samuel's sons was John Henry Poff. He married Sarah Mariah Corwin in Princeton, Bureau County, Illinois on July 3, 1880. Sarah was born in Pennsylvania to Mary Elizabeth Corwin (later Haskins when her husband was killed during Civil War at Hatcher's Run.) The family of Corwin and Haskins children went by covered wagon into Illinois with their mother and Orange Haskins There were thirteen children in all. There was a huge family of Poff s in Illinois for John and Sarah had 12 children and they really multiplied as they did in those days. It was in the area of Broadmoor and Milo, Illinois. I hope some of this means something to you . Give me some clues and perhaps we may run into a match here. Midge

Midge, My Poffs came from PA (as far back as I can go right now) and planted roots in Richland Co, IL.....

Well, it has been awhile and am wondering if anyone else has anything on Poffs from NY and Mass. Later on going into Illinois. Midge

We are looking from New York Poffs (beginning names Samuel and Mary) who ended up in Bangor, Pa., and eastern Pennsylvania. Not far from In. Keep in touch for further info in the future. Midge

Looking for info on POFFS from New ALbany (Floyd County)/Sellersburg (Clark County), IN area 1840 to 1900. Thanks, Patti

Does anyone have any claim to a Samuel Poff and Mary Sarah Keen Poff of Bangor, Pennsylvania. Samuel Poff born 1826 - died 1901 in Bangor. Mary born 1829 - died 1903 Bangor. Children were: Franklin 1852 (also listed as Frank and/or Jessie) John Henry July 27, 1855 Josiah 1857 Julia Ann 1859 (aka as Julieann) Gustie Rose 1862 (aka Ellen) Christiann 1865 James S. 1868 (aka Seymore) Would appreciate any input on this family MFW

I believe I sent Jim an input on William Wesley, he said it was his grandfather.Hope I'm right on thet Midge

Sometime it helps to know how and why you are "Not" connected to a family! Look forward to your family group outline.

"My" George Poff (b 1760-1770) is as follows: 1820 Clinton Co., Ohio Census has George POFF : Males under 10 (1), 16-26 (2), 45+ (1) Females under 10 (1), 10-16 (1), 16-26 (2), 45+ (1) 1830 Delaware Co., Indiana Census has George Poff neighbor to Zadoc STEWART (married Mary POFF April 27, 1824 in Clinton Co., Ohio) ; Samuel POFF (married Francis JONES May 01, 1817 in Clinton Co., Ohio); and Henry POFF (married Lucy JONES April 12, 1821 in Clinton Co., Ohio) Males under 5 (1), 15-20 (1), 60-70 (1) Females 15-20 (1), 40-50 (1) Other known children include: Matthew POFF (b 1799 married Abigail JONES May 11, 1823 in Clinton Co., Ohio); Ruanie POFF (b~1810 married Uriah ROOKS November 17, 1829 Delaware Co., Indiana; and William POFF (married Malinda STEWART September 29, 1836 Delaware Co., Indiana) this William POFF could also be the same one (b April 19, 1814) who married Malinda's cousin Julia STEWART February 25, 1840 in Tippicanoe Co., Indiana. The disparity between George's wife age of 45+ in 1820 and 40-50 in 1830 and the apparent birth of a son between 1825-1830, leads to the conclusion his first wife died and he re-married (a George POFF is recorded marrying a Elizabeth DAVIS Nov 22, 1823 in Clinton Co., Ohio) George POFF was in Tenessee in the early 1800's prior to moving to Ohio.

Julia, What is your Poff lineage from Peter Poff and Elizabeth Pickle? This is all I know about George Poff and Anna Merchant: George Poff, Sr., was first listed in the personal property tax files of Augusta Co., Va. in 1792 and then his name dropped out in 1798 (died?). Beginning in 1793 there were listed regularly, a Peter Poff, Sr., Charles Poff, George Poff, Jr. and John Poff/Puff. They MIGHT be sons of George Poff, Sr. Barb S. ============================================= At 08:56 PM 04/22/2001 -0400, you wrote: >If my facts are correct, Peter's parents are George Poff born in 1747 in >Pennsylvania died in 1898 married Anne Merchant on August 29, 1772, she was >born in Pennsylvania in 1750.

My great-grandfather is Monroe Franklin Poff from Blytheville, Arkansas, do you have any family in Blytheville, if so we may have a lot of information to swap. Julia

Julia Did you mean George died in 1798, otherwise he lived to be 151. Maybe I read it wrong. Midge

Jim I was just going through some old notes I found a couple months ago I guess. Here is what I had noted: William Wesley Poff Born 1822 in Ohio Married Sarah Simms 1846 in Arizona Died 1859 at Hopkins Co. Tx. Mothers name was Mary gh@HUB.ofthe.Net (0798) Don't know what it means now but thought I'd give it to you or anyone else who sees it before discarding it. Midge

opps, my mistake major typo there should have read 1798 rather than 1898. Sorry about the misinfo.

If my facts are correct, Peter's parents are George Poff born in 1747 in Pennsylvania died in 1898 married Anne Merchant on August 29, 1772, she was born in Pennsylvania in 1750. That's all the information but the rest of the info I have on that line is kinda lacking. Let me know if this assists you any and if you have any more information regarding this linage.
