Mary Amelia Harlow was Joseph Huff's 2nd wife. (he called her Amelia) his first wife was Mary Webb, daughter of Robert Webb (1st Fleet and Elizabeth Anderson. According to oral family history, she died in childbirth. There are no records to support this claim. he called his 2nd wife by her 2nd name. So I presume he loved his 1st Mary.
