General Notes: Husband - William Duff


His parents died when he was very young, and he accompanied his step-mother to America, and settled at Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he lived until he reached manhood. He married a cousin, and the young folks settled in a part of Mercer County that later became part of Lawrence County, where they purchased a tract of land, for the most part heavily timbered. When he decided to build a house, he could not get a team in the county with which to move the logs, so the house was built by carrying the logs, by main strength, to the place desired. Later, he built a large log barn. He owned about 400 acres of land, about 200 of which, together with the homestead, was later the property of his grandson, D. G. Duff. "Grandpa" Duff died at the age of about eighty-five years.
