WITH HIM,JACOB AND JOHN WILLIAM.. WERE HIS BROTHERS AND A HUFFMAN
From Beth Kowaleski:

Henry was a carpenter, and
at times, a hotel keeper. Wyandotte, where I live, was a boom town during
WWI. Lots of building going on around here, plus we had a shipbuilding
plant. In 1916 Henry moved up here with his family. He dismantled his
entire house and barns in IN and shipped them up here on a railroad
flatcar and rebuilt his house. He worked on many houses and buildings here
in Wyandotte. Most of his children moved up here, too. Some stayed. Some
moved back to Indiana. One moved to California.
I'm trying to get information about his children. That generation is all
gone but one. Even the children of those children are very old and
forgetfull, and some of them are wary of a stranger nosing around their
family business. Some have been delightful and some don't reply to my
letters. But I'm trying.

Per info from Bernna Huffman Suba - "Note for Henry Huffman: From Jack Delmont Downey HENRY HUFFMAN,
operated the "HARTFORD HOTEL" in Hartford, Indiana. They had nine children. His Great Grandfather came on the
Lyda with the Shick boys."
I've got a couple of items to note about this comment -
1 -The ships name w as apparently the "Lydia", but I've got to confirm elsewhere and then get back to this one.
2 - The relative had to be his G-g grandfather as well, as the G- grandfather was only 6 years old in 1843.
