J. V. HUFF, farmer and stock-grower, Milan, born in Sussex county, N. J., August 14, 1819, is the son of John and Anna (Vought) Huff, and has but slight recollection of his grandparents, but remembers that his grandfather, Vought, died in Sussex county, N. J., at the extreme old age of ninety-four. His parents were farmers, and natives of New Jersey, the father of English, and the mother of Dutch descent; they died in New Jersey, the mother when forty-nine, and the father at the age of seventy-seven. J. V. received his education in the common schools; he came to this county in the spring of 1843, landing at Standing Stone; from there went to Towanda, and remained four months; then to Milan, and purchased the farm he now owns, which consists of upward of 110 acres; it was heavily wooded, but he cleared away a spot to build a house, and erected a small frame dwelling. He is now one of the most prosperous farmers in the township, and is surrounded by the comforts of life. He paid the entire purchase price of the farm with the lumber taken from the woods with which it was covered. He married Roxanna, daughter of John and Betsie (Greene) Watkins, of Athens township, March 26, 1846; their children are: John W., married to Emma Hannah; Edward, married to Nora McKinney; Henrietta, wife of Stephen VanBuren, of Ulster township; Martha D., wife of John Kays, of Ssussex county, N.

Mr. Huff is a member of the National Grange, in which he was for years a prominent member; the family are members of the Baptist Church. In political views he is Democratic. Nearly the entire township was in the wilderness at the time he came, and the forests were full of deer and bears.

THE ADAM INNES FAMILY, Granville Centre, is one of the most important in southwest Bradford county. Adam Innes, the original Scotchman of this American race, was born in Musselburgh, Scotland, April 10, 1820, and died in Granville Centre, this county, March 10, 1886, aged sixty-five years and eleven months. He was the only son and child who grew to maturity in the family of Robert and Marian Kirkwood Innes. In the old country his parents were of the middle class, and he had only limited educational advantages. In his youth he was apprenticed to the tanner’s trade, and his principal and important lessons in young life were industry, thoroughness and a rigid economy, and in these lay the foundation of his successes and fortune. He completed his apprenticeship, a thorough and master workman, and for some time worked in the tannery in Linlithgow, Scotland, at which place he was married, October 4, 1844, to Helen McNeil, a native of that place, born April 17, 1821, a daughter of Daniel and Mary (Duncan) McNeil, of the counties of Edinburg and Linlithgow, respectively, who had eight children - five daughters and three sons - of whom Helen was the second in order of birth. Four years after marriage they emigrated from their native land, coming direct to America to make their future permanent home, stopping first in Norwich, New London Co., Conn., where he worked a short time at his trade, and then removed to Ulster county, N. Y., where he was in the employ of one, Abram Schultz, at whose death he secured an interest with the heirs in the tannery. In time Mr. Innes was operating the two tanneries by contract, and thus continued until 1865, when he removed to Granville Centre, and purchased the old Martin tannery. By this time his reputation for his products was widely extended. When he took hold of this establishment it was a very small affair, but he increased its capacity from 7,000 sides per year to 28,000, and yet the demand for his goods outran the supply. In 1870 he built the "Caledonia Tannery" at Grover, Canton township, with a capacity of 32,000 sides annually, and placed his son, Daniel, in charge. In 1880 he established the "Wallace Tannery," at Roaring Branch, with a capacity of 40,000 sides annually, under his son, John A. Adam Innes was also for some time associated with Brainard Bowen, of Troy, in the tannery there. In February, 1881, he helped to establish the First National Bank of Canton, and was elected its president; was re-elected three times, but in January, 1885, on account of his health, he declined further service in that capacity. He was one of the promoters, and vice-president, of the Keystone Land and Cattle Company, owning a ranch and a large tract of land in Dakota. In February, 1884, he became a member of
This is a mere skeleton outline of the vast business career of Adam Innes. His force of character, his clear, strong judgment, his never-questioned integrity, his broad and generous equity, justice and helpful charity were known, but slightly compared to their reality, by those who even knew him best. Exemplary in private life, and most worthy in his social mingling with the world, his strong Scotch blood was at its very best among his closest intimates, and under his family roof-tree. "A man among Men" - rearing a model family, purifying the social atmosphere in which he moved, and devoting his great life to the development of his adopted country, State and neighborhood. A producer where he found barrenness and want; developing that higher and better civilization that makes this earth wholesome, and the human heart vocal with joys. No urgency from his many friends could ever induce him to stand for political office; his impulses were were in a different and, it is not too much to say, a higher plane of existence. His whole nature was retiring, modest and self-abnegating in the extreme. He was a member of the Congregational church, but his religion went out to his fellow-man and knew no sectarianism. He was buried under the auspices of the F. & A. M. Lodge of Troy, and about his fresh-opened tomb the whole community stood as deep and sincere mourners, and no man has ever been laid away that has been more grievously missed. His rare life was not a fitful fever nor a fretful dream, but a sublime reality, tinged with the golden aureole, and he sleeps well.
Mrs. Adam Innes spent her early life in her native Scotland home, and learned at the paternal knee those noble lessons of life that made her in time "a blessed mother in Israel." Her faithful and eminent husband’s proudest boast to his most intimate circle of friends, when old age was coming on, was that he owed far more of his success to her than to any one, or all else; that in every important transaction, after their marriage, he consulted her, not only as an equal, but as his superior, and her approval was of supreme and last importance. She was of the most rugged Scotch blood - patient, brave, womanly and yet of strong judgment and remarkable executive ability. In their home was mother , the highest that can be said of mortal; in social and friendship’s wide domain she stood a constant and joyous benediction, generous, Christain, kind, tender and loving in all her impulses; first her husband, then her children, then all mankind. She was one year younger than her husband, survived him nearly two years, dying February 23, 1888, and then was laid at rest by his side - in life united, in death not separated - and they sleep sweetly in Granville Cemetery. Though painfully afflicted during the last nine years of her life with a rheumatic affection, her patient fortitude and Christian gentleness never deserted her; serene in the memory of her late departed companion, happy and content in the presence of her loving children. She awaited the end as the beautiful child nestles in its mother’s bosom, and closes its eyes in a sweet and dreamless sleep. Their children were five sons and three daughters: Robert, of Bodines; Daniel, and Mary C., Mrs. James
