He had 7 known children, John Duff/ MCDUFFEE being the third.  They lived on land originally belonging to the Cherokee Indians that was forcibly taken with the Hiwassee Purchase and eventually led to the "Trail of Tears" in 1838-39 when the Cherokee Indians were forced to reservations in Oklahoma.  John died at age 45 intestate, without a will, causing many problems for Sarah.

Notes:
                      Changed surname to MCDUFFEE ON 17 OCT 1849  1st marr.) Moved to Polk Co., Tenn about 1839 where they had 7 children. 2nd marr?) "Eloped" & moved to Wayne Co., Ill early 1850. Notes:  Settled Wayne Co. IL 1849 and listed in every census 1850-1900. Sources for James DUFF/MCDUFFEE family:   Census records Wayne Co. IL; Wayne Co. IL Press newspaper; Cemetery   records, death certificates, marriage records Wayne Co. IL and Madison Co.   IN; courthouse records Wayne Co. IL; land records Monroe Co. TN.   1870 Census has 2 girls listed that show up no place else; Matilda, age   9 and Roxanne (Rosanne) age 18.  Believe Matilda to be their child that   was killed in a horse and wagon accident--family story only, no proof.   Roxanne possible relation to Nancy since she is listed as being born in TN.
From "Duff to McDuffee on one leaf"-- James H. Duff-McDuffee had left Tennessee Oct 17, 1849 and had not been heard from.  Sarah (his mother) had to have the courts declare him deceased.  On a continuation of Bill 640 dated June 5, 1860 James H. Duff is declared deceased, thus enabling the courts to finally settle the estate on January 13, 1862, thirty-three years after John Duff's death.
