There is a Hufman, Jacobo on the 1792 Spanish Census of Southwest Mississippi, living in the same district as his son's wife's parents, plus all the Coles, Simmons, and Formans who later moved to Louisiana. I am looking in to trying to find out more about him. This would explain how Jacob's son, Robert met and married his wife, Susanne Clark. Jacobo is listed in Villa Gayoso with a woman, 3 boys, one girl and himself.

AMERICANS ARRIVING in SPANISH-HELD NATCHEZ 1788-1790
*These reports were written by a Spanish officer, Carlos de Grand Pre to Governor Estevan Miro; therefore many of the names are in SPANISH or a PHONETIC attempt to convert the name to Spanish. Some are in English. The term ?settler? means those with intent to settle the district. In 1788, a royal order encouraged American immigration and trade, and colonist began arriving in larger numbers than ever before. Few of these arrived via the land route, however; most arrived on flatboats, coming down the Mississippi. The majority came from Kentucky. Many settled in what would become Adams, Amite, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson and Wilkinson counties. List taken from records in the MS Dept. of Archives and History, Jackson MS.
