This Peter HUFFMAN was also my 4 great grandfather. We must be "cousins" Would you like to exchange information?

I really have almost nothing to share because I don't know much about my Huffman connections.

Do you have copies of these?
"Peter Huffman, with his family of five children and wife, came to Monroe Township, Clark Co. IN in 1811. He had other children who were married and had homes of their own, one of whom was the wife of Mr. Henry Collins. They were both killed in the Pigeon Roost massacre. They settled on Silver Creek near Henryville, where he commenced a life of a pioneer in the woods. In the March of 1813, a group of Shawnee Indians possibly the same ones that were at Pigeon Roost, concealed themselves behind the bank of Silver Creek and shot Peter Huffman who at that moment came to his door to look for two of his grandsons who were playing in the barn below the house. With the same ball that Mr. Huffman was killed Mrs. Huffman was wounded in the breast, the ball lodging in the shoulder-blade. The old gentleman was killed instantly in what is known as the Huffman defeat. (I have this ball now). The Indians took one of the children into captivity and kept him for a number of years.

BIOGRAPHY of PETER HUFFMAN:

Mr. Peter Huffman, with his family of five children and wife came to Monroe township, Clark county, Indiana in 1811. He, however, had other children who were married and had homes of their own, one of whom as the wife of Mr. Henry Collins. They (Mr. and Mrs. Collins) were both killed in the Pigeon Roost Massacre.
Mr. Huffman settled on Silver Creek, Monroe township, Clark county, Indiana, where he commenced the life of a pioneer in the woods. In March 1813, he was killed in what is known as the Huffman defeat. With the same ball that Mr. Huffman was killed, Mrs. Huffman was wounded in the breast, the ball lodging in the shoulder blade.
His sons settled in Jackson county, Andrew J. Huffman is a grandson of this famous Indian hunter. He was born in 1819; was married in 1841, on the day of General Harrison's inauguration; to Miss Eliza McComb of Monroe township, born in 1823.

How are you related? I descend from the Andrew J. Huffman above.

According to the information I have, the accuracy of which I cannot vouch for until you get to my great-grandparents, I am descended from Peter Huffman through:

Benjamin Huffman (1778-1860), wife's name Mary (1787-1860)

Jonathan Huffman (1805-1873), m. Eva Avery (1808-1848)

Harriette Huffman (1840-1892), m. G. W. D. Snider (1837-1921). These are my great-grandparents.

Thank you for your reply. I believe that Jonathan's brother Peter married Patsy Avery. Were they sisters?

Are you interested in exchanging any other information?

That's about all the information I have, so it would be pretty much a one-way street unless you want information for G.W.D. and Harriette Huffman Snider on down.
