Teri, Yours is the first message I've seen with the Parents if an Isaac Huff from the early 1800's. I have a g-g-g(?)-grandfather named Isaac Huff whom married an Indian Chief's daughter (from the Blackfoot Indian tribe), He was the father of Lewis Calvin Huff, who married Dorothy M. Bowers.
The problem we have, is family folklore, has it that Isaac was the offspring of such a marriage, and that a wagon-train master named Huff adopted him, after the union of the son of Presiden William Henry Harrison and the Blackfoot Indian's chiefs' daughter. So, it's exciting to see at least an Isaac from that time frame. After all, sometimes stories get embelished to make them appear better than they actually are.
