  Narrative

William moved from Yadkin, Stokes Co, NC to Washington Co, TN about 1816, and married Peggy Smith 1821 in Carter County, TN. They probably moved with brother Daniel to Jackson County, TN ~1825 (from a land grant to Daniel Jan. 11, 1825
http://dadblastit.tripod.com/huffinesfamilyhistory/id112.html ) Phillip and Jacob were (variously) on Tax Lists of Washington Co, TN from 1814-1819. Jacob was there till after 1830.

An early biography of Daniel Huffine, Jacob's son, says he was one of the earliest settlers on Cherokee. Larry Smith relates that the Smith's originally settled on Indian Creek, which is only about 2 miles southest from the Huffines.

1830 Jackson County, TN Census:
William Hufhines: 1m<5 1m5-10 1m20-30(wrong age) 1f<5 1f5-10 1f30-40 1f40-50 (mother?)
and note, definitely 2 sons _before_ 1830 so excludes William G b.1831

1840 Jackson County, TN Census:
William Huffines: 2m15-20 2m20-25 m40-50 f<5 2f5-10 f20-30
, but note, sons older than 20 would precede marriage with Peggy Smith - perhaps just a farm laborer

Lori Adcox believes the 3 year old Louisa Huffines girl living with Aunt Margaret Forkum is also theirs ( by elimination of alternatives). This is Louisa Elizabeth Huffines who married Haywood Richardson. However, where was Peggy in the 1840 Census?

Both parents dead by 1850 - Milly lives with sister Elizabeth Davenport, a few doors from brother William Huffines.
