General Notes: Husband - James Duff
In early life he was engaged in packing salt from Baltimore, Maryland, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and subsequently purchased the land on which his grandson Cyrus B. Duff would later reside, at a sheriff's sale, and later ascertained that the place had never been patented, after which he secured the patent for it, the place consisting of eighty-four acres. During the summer months he devoted his attention to the cultivation of his farm, and the remainder of the year he packed across the mountains, that being one of the principal occupations of that time.
