I have oldest daughter Sarah born about 1821 which would make James about 16 or 17 when she was born. I know he was not on the 1850 census and I don't think he was on the 1840 census either. I heard a story at one time that he had gone to Arkansas with Elizabeth's brothers and was murdered or involved in a murder but have never been able to verify that. My ancestor James Albert Poff was living in Arkansas with Elizabeth's brother John on the 1860 census.

Thank you for your reply yes i to have sarah born 1820 or 1821 but some where i read about an sarah elizabeth being born in 1918 I wasn't sure if there were 2 daughters. then i followed another lead a marriage document that said a sarah elizabeth bickle born 1818 then i wondered if maybe Elizabeth Bickle brought the older daughter to the marriage union from a previous relationship.
there was a Newspaper article I read yesterday of a john poff of virginia being murdered on his way home from work around in 1841 but I do not think this was James William Poff i will keep digging..my husband descends from your descendant James Albert's brother Henry Y Poff who fathered Charles H Poff who fathered William Henry Poff who was my husband great grand father. There sure were a lot of Poff's.
Thanks again Cora

Hello my name is Wes Poff. I am looking for my lost family living in Coffee Tennessee in 1861-1881.

my grandfathers name is George A Poff born 1861 in coffee TN.
married Matilda " mattie " E. Cunningham Poff July 7th 1881.

I do not know Georges parents names. I think they might be Thomas and Nancy Poff but not sure.

The Poff family is very large ive read all threads and come up empty. It may be because the name changed spelling.
