Perhaps there is a connection between your Poff's and George B. Poff.George B. was born in 1810 in Germany(listed on 1850 Huntington Co. IN census) in Prussia(listed on 1860 Huntington Co. IN census).George B. had a nephew John George Will come to the USA May 8, 1858 from Launbach Germany.I believe George B. also came from that area.I do not know George B. Poff's parents names.He married Nancy Sheets who was from Pennsylvania.Do you know where your Poff's were from?I feel there must be a connection - it's odd that so many Poff's would settle in Montgomery Co. if there wasn't a connection.I do not know when George B. arrived in the US or what ship.Grampa Poff stated that George B. came to the US with a brother Levi (he thought that was the name) but Grampa is no longer here to question.
