My Family Tree

Son Elisha Almer says in the 1880 census that father from NC, mother from TN.
Daughters Elizabeth and Martha in same say both from TN.

Shared DNA between descendants of Margaret and descendants of John C Smith and Jincy Taylor of Carter Co, TN indicate a probable relatedness. John C Smith b.1811 s/o James and Elizabeth Smith. This is the "Smith's of Carter Co, TN" line.

Numerous DNA matches between descendants of these Smith's and Siler(Salers) in (Baden-Würtemburg) Germany. ( Absalom Hooper & Sarah Saler )

Son's full name - Daniel Harrison Huffines - could mean Margaret is the daughter or granddaughter of a Harrison. Numerous DNA matches and coincidences lead to the family of Daniel Smith & Elizabeth Harrison of Rockingham Co, VA. Daniel Smith came from Ulster, Ireland like our Y-DNA Smith matches, but male Smith descendants do not match the Smith line out of Carter Co, TN. Could still be Margaret's maternal line.
