Richard, I just read your message.
I don't have a lot of information about your branch but I think we can make some educated guesses that will get you moving.
Cliffs in Grant Co. WI are most surely related to Thomas Audlin Cliff.I believe the Henry Cliff youhave as your anchor is the brother of Thomas Audlin Cliff.Their parents were Thomas Cliff and Sarah Audlin.Henry would have been born about 1835 in Gedney, Lincolnshire, England.
Thomas Audlin Cliff had a son Henry Lee and a grandson Henry Lee -- the latter was my father-in-law.
Thomas Audlin Cliff also had a daughter Lavina Rachael Cliff who was born 03 Nov 1867 in Kendell in Lafayette Co., WI.It would have been very common to name a daughter after a sister-in-law.My g-grandmother was named Amelia after her mother's brother's wife.Spellings are often inconsistent.
Thomas Audlin was a Methodist Circuit Rider minister and he got around a lot in Dane, Iowa, LaFayette and Grant Counties.
There are just too many matches here for this to be coincidence.I don't have Lewis or Terrance in my list, but I'm going to add them with a low level of confidence into my list under Henry, brother of Thomas Audlin Cliff.
If you have any more information about Henry and Lavina Lewis -- such as their marriage, birth dates, death dates, etc.we may be able to move further.Were there any other children?Often family names repeat...and most often there are multiple children.
Most of the Cliffs stayed in Oswego NY which is where Thomas and Sarah Audlin ended up.I had thought that only Thomas Audlin Cliff had moved west to WI.
Good luck
Cathy
