***********************************

Martin Van Buren Duvall was killed by Champ Ferguson, while home on furlough from the army, on Spring Creek in sight of the spot where he is buried. He was at the home of Lewis Duvall when he spied the arrival of Champ. He ran over a small ridge and was chased on horseback and shot. Champ Ferguson killed eleven men in this community. He was convicted on 54 counts of murder and hanged in Nashville, Tennessee on October 30, 1865. Zilpha Huff Ferguson (1802-1888) mother of Champ, and (aunt? of Martin's wife?) is buried nearby. Champ Ferguson also killed Alexander Huff, father of Martin Van Buren Duvall's wife.

***********************************

In 1860 Champ Ferguson lived in the same community with wife, Martha and daughter Anne. A COWAN appears to have been living with them also, possibly a hired hand? Five years later both these men would be dead, one murdered and the other hanged for this and 53 other murders.

(source: Darla Duvall Glover < Dddoglover@aol.com >, from Cliff Gorbin's genealogy data on worldconnect.rootsweb.com )

"Lewis and Didama Huff were Didama (Huff) Duvall's Uncle and Aunt. And it looks like Lewis and Didama were cousins. Lewis is the son of Daniel Huff. Alexander is the son of John Huff. Alexander and John were brothers, their parents were Philip Hoff and Racheal Jackson. Didama Huff is the Daughter of John and Alexander is her brother. Somewhere there was a name change from Hoff to Huff."

I have just started with the Huff side of my family. I'll tell you what I know and maybe you call fill in the blanks. My gg grandmother was Didama Huff married to Martin VanBuren Duvall. Her father was Alexander Huff. I know that he was killed in 1862? by Champ Ferguson?. That started a feud between the Ferguson's & Huff's. Champ also killed Didama's husband 1865. Her mother was Martha Sallee (they must have called her "Patsy"). I think they were from Tennesee but moved to KY when Alexander was killed out of fear since his death. That's about all I know. Would love any information beyond that. My e-mail is dddoglover@aol.com Thank you, Darla
