Francis Huff was born Abt. 1735, and died 1790 in Augusta Co., VA. He married Catherine.
Notes for Francis Huff: Francis Huff left a will in Augusta Co., VA dated 26 May, 1788 and was proven 15 June, 1790. He left a wife Catherine and 6 children named: Francis, Catherine, Samuel, Jacob, Susanna and Henry.
The Francis Huff will has been abstracted and published in Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish settlement in Virginia by Lyman Chalkley, Volume 1, page 532. This does not mean he was Scotch or Irish. In Chalkley's abstract Catherine is Catherine Feny, probably because they couldn't read Teny, and Teaney is often spelled incorrectly.
Granville Hough thought francis was of Germany extraction because of some land records spellings of wife as Catterin and because of the Hessian construction of their house which still is standing west of Churchill near Lone Fountain.
Children of Francis Huff and Catherine are:
+Catherine Huff, b. 1760, VA, d. Abt. 1845, Montgomery Co., VA.
