General Notes: Husband - John Frederick Huff


He was born in Berlin, Germany, and when a young man emigrated to America. He was a farmer by occupation and a Lutheran in religion. Not regarding the family title he dropped the von and since 1840 the name in America has been spelled "Huff." He died and was buried in the old graveyard on Rauch's farm on the road leading from Seisholtzville to Huff's Church, the latter being in Herford township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

He and his wife had four sons and five daughters living in 1818.
