Surname:Huff

Watchers

According to one source (pg. 5), members of the "von Huff" clan were Barons in Austria and Bavaria and rated a proper coat of arms. This same source (pg. 8) suggests that one of the key Huff families in the United States was rooted in Ohio.

"The original Huff Homestead was located on a quiet hill, a few miles Southwest of Winesburg, Ohio."

The progenitors of this line were reportedly John Phillip Huff and his wife Catherine Lahm (pg. 18), both born in Germany (pg. 11). They and a couple of children emigrated to the United States in 1835 (pg. 11).
