Sorry take so long to reply. I'm working on so many different lines. This is my direct line.
I'm pretty sure I link into Jeremiah Loftin and Hannah De La Hunte, On the 1830 Jackson county, florida census page 82. They are not on the 1840 census but they are not on the 1850 census for Smith county Texas either. Jeremiah owned 300 acres in Jackson county Florida. William James Loftin, who went by James I believe is one of his sons. He raised his family in Marianna, Jackson county Florida but cannot find a land record in his own name. My thoughts are he lived on Jeremiah's land which makes sense to me. When William James' son William Charles Loftin/Loften/Lofton (they have used all spellings due to the fact that people wrote phonetically) married his first wife Henrietta/e Hurst they still lived in Jackson county and are living sided by side per the 1850 census. They were married 1849 and she died presumably in childbirth in 1852 as there is a female child born which lived. William Charles stated he was an overseer on the 1850 census. He married his cousin Abigail Lambert 28 Sept. 1856 and he and his father and their families moved to Monroe county, Alabama and lived near her grandmother's plantation, Abigail Davis Lambert. Abigail's mother is Sinai Loftin whose father is Eli Loftin, brother? of Jeremiah Loftin. Interestingly, I think it was Jeremiah Loftin had daughters whose names are Angelina and Rachel. I also have daughters by that name. When I named them I wasn't involved in genealogy.
