his father who was a mechanic. In 1825, he went to New Orleans and came back up the river to Cincinnati, where he procured a horse and prospected over the county, and went to his home, and returned here as stated above. In 1828, his father purchased 350 acres of land. To his trade our subject gave exclusive attention for a number of years his father in the meanwhile carrying on the farm. In 1837, he was married to Sarah E. Wilson; by this marriage there were four children-Robert G. (of this township, married Elizabeth Welton), Alexander W. (of Cincinnati, retired merchant), George W. (of Indianapolis, Ind., married Lois P. Grosvener, or Worchester, Mass.; he is a teacher), and a little girl died when 3 years of age. Mrs. Hufford died, and Mr. Hufford was married the second time in March, 1849, to Eunice S. Richardson; a native of Barry, Vt., and daughter of Benjamin and Mary (May) Richardson; they were early settlers in Kentucky; both are now deceased. By Mr. Hufford’s last marriage there are two children-William S. (who married Miss Jane Cooper, and lives near the homestead), and Nathan K. (who is residing at the homestead with his parents). Mr. Hufford has had no aspirations for political honors, caring nothing for the empty bauble of local office. His life has been a success, and at present he owns 360 acres of excellent land; he is one of our county’s self-made men, having begun life without anything. Through his integrity and close application to business, has built up a large property, and he is now enjoying the fruits of his toil. His son, Alexander, enlisted in 1862, and was taken prisoner during the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and for two years was confined in prison pens of Libby and Andersonville, before being exchanged. |
