General Notes: Husband - John Duff
The Duffs were among the earliest settlers of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
He was born in Ireland, and came to America prior to the War of the Revolution. He joined the American forces, fighting in the Continental army, and at the battle of Brandywine had his whiskers cut off by a bullet. After the war he purchased land in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and at the time of his death was the owner of two hundred acres in Penn township, whither he had removed prior to 1800. He was engaged in general farming and stock raising, and took an active part in the wars with the Indians. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
He was a farmer, and in 1794 obtained a tract of land in Penn township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania.
