Hi, I need to clear up my connection. My ancestor, Phillip Huffman, married Phoebe Goff (1854)(his second wife). She was the daugher of Malinda Garner and Salathial Goff, hence my information is sketchy. I am most interested in the descendents of Phoebe and Phillip, Harrison Dortman Huffman and Phoebe Luella Huffman. These two married a sister and brother, Susan and William Hillard. I am trying to make contact with someone descended from each of Phillip's twelve children (ten from his first wife, Aletha Summers). I do believe that Phoebe Luella had no children. I just keep hoping that the more contacts I make, the more likely I am to reach my goal and I meet so many people that connect back to the whole WV "larger" family.

My Mary/Elizabeth may well have been from Louden Co., Va., because her first husband (Garner) was b. there. That is my brick wall for now. I think I have read letters from you which indicate you are from the Rightmire/Daugherty connection. Will look thru my notes further. Welcome aboard!

Hi again Dianne...I think you, Carolyn and I have a connection someway through Malinda who is the daughter of Lewis and the "unknown" Rickmeyer who is believed to be the Mary/Elizabeth that Carolyn is searching for....None of this is confirmed....However I am curious as to where your family settled or if they remained in W.V. ? Also wanted to mention Phoebe is a reoccuring given name in the Rightmire family in the 1700's especially. Sondra is another researcher you might run into or I can put you in touch with. She has a Phoebe Rightmire who married a man named John Spencer in Loudoun County.. After his death this Phoebe married a Timms..and at one point lived in the area of Harrison county .. I wonder if your Phoebe could be a namesake?...All interesting speculation...but things to keep in mind as we search...

Hi Alice, I really don't know anything about Phoebe. She and her children are related to me through Phillip Huffman. My Huffmans moved around from WV, PA to the eastern shore of MD. Phillip's son, Francis Marion, is my gggrandfather. He married twice and lived in Marquess until his death. My gr grandfather is his oldest son, John Martin Huffman. He married Martha Burgoyne. Her family is another of my roadblocks. They moved around a lot but my grandfather, Russell Reed Hoffman (note the change in spelling.) was born in Marquess. John Martin and family ended up in Snow Hill, MD. We don't know why but he was severely injured in a fall at at steel mill and never walked right again. Very disabled. His children spread out far and wide. Russell married a MD girl and they lived in Wilmington, DE until WWII when the family moved to California. That is where my father, Russell Reed Hoffman, Jr. returned after the conclusion of WWII and married my mother and they lived in Compton and Downey, CA.
