General Notes: Husband - John Duff

---

His entire life was spent on the family homestead. At his father's death he inherited the home property, cultivating the lands and operating the mill that stood thereon. In many respects he assumed his father's place in the neighborhood, succeeding him as an elder of the Old Tent Church, and in other ways taking the part in public life and affairs that had been played by the elder McIlduff. It was John who changed the spelling of the family name, dropping the prefix "McIl" and writing it Duff. His political position was in sympathy with the Whig party.

Besides the four listed, he and his wife were the parents of six other children, none of whom attained maturity.
