History of Clark Co., OH. 1881, Biographical Sketches - Moorefield Twp. REUBEN HUFFMAN. Farmer, P.O. New Moorefield. Among the earliest pioneers of Clark Co. was Jacob Huffman, who located four and one-half miles southwest of Springfield, in Bethel Township, in 1802. At this time it was mostly a wilderness from Cincinnati to Detroit. Mr. Huffman was truly a pioneer, opening out in the forests of Clark Co. with but three neighbors, and comparatively few settlers for many miles in every direction. Here he cleared up and opened out his farm, and spent his entire life, residing here on the same farm some forty years. He died Dec. 1, 1842, in his 71st year. His wife Catherine Huffman, died Aug. 31, 1866, in her 80th year. Of a family of ten children who grew to maturity, five are now living - Henry, Reuben, Martha, Rachel and Samuel.
Our subject, the sixth child, was born upon his father's home place, May 6, 1818. He lived and grew to manhood inured to the hardships of those early days, and remained with his father till his death. He was married, Oct. 28, 1841, to Ann E. (born in Pennsylvania, March 8, 1822), daughter of David and Elizabeth (Barr) Tennant, natives of Pennsylvania, coming to Clark Co., when Ann was 16 years of age. Of an issue of eleven children, eight now survive - George W., Wm. T., Oscar L., John W., Mary C. and Sallie W. (twins), Reuben and Nettie B. Mr. Huffman remained upon the home farm till the spring of 1869; thence lived six years near Tremont City; two years near Enon, and in the spring of 1877 moved upon the place where he now resides. Mr. Huffman had made farming his business through life, and as such has the name of being one of the best farmers in the community, and may well be termed a model farmer; has always been an industrious and energetic man, one whose character and integrity was never doubted. He has not accepted or desired any office; has strictly attended to his own business affairs; has always lived well and comfortably, and endeavored to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and has possessed the confidence and respect of all his neighbors.
