General Notes: Husband - James Duff

---

He received 80 acres of land from his father, and after building a log house and barn on it, and clearing a portion of the land, he sold his farm, and purchased another one, again engaging in farming, which was his sole occupation during life. He was an active, enterprising man, and served in township offices, also rendering valued services to America in the War of 1812, especially in connection with the struggle on Lake Erie.

General Notes: Wife - Jane Boies

---

She lacked only two months of being ninety-nine years old at the time of her death, and was quite active up to the time of her last illness. On her ninety-eighth birthday her son, Alexander, and his sister gave a re-union for her benefit. That day she rode six miles and back. She loved company, and everybody loved her. Her home was always a pleasant place to all,-her disposition always happy. Hundreds of relatives and fiends accepted the invitation and attended the re-union,-the first of its kind ever held in Law-rence County.
