It is believed she lived until her death in Lyon or Livingston Cos.She had 3 known children: Samuel Abraham Duff, Jane Arabella DUFF and William Henry DUFF.Sameul went to the CA gold fields and never returned to TN, Jane Arabella m. an EVANS, and William Henry m. Elizabeth DONELSON, d/o John Donelson of Livingston/Lyon cos. KY. Any help appreciated.Thanks.
