On 24 Dec 1840 in Wayne County, Kentucky, he married Catharine Shearer.[1]

Note: See tThe obituary of one of his daughters, which recounts the family's migration etc. to California.[2]

DNA Testing

Descendants of a common ancestor tested as haplogroup G-M201. At least two descendants of Huff-92 (and therefore also related to this individual) were Y-DNA tested but do not appear to participate in WikiTree, or have not yet registered their test results which were haplogroup G-M201.
