Alexander Duff
Grosse Pointe, Michigan
While
tracking down family genealogy I found that an Alexander duff....a forbearer...and
descendant...(of unclear heritage) ...of the Duke of Fife...had settled in Detroit, and
married into a prominent French family that resided in what is now Grosse
Pointe. Alexander helped establish the city of Windsor, Ontario.
(he fled the US after the revolutionary war)
Duff house in Windsor is named for him..or..Duff/Baby house after Alexander and
his brother in law, Jacques Baby who took over the property in, I think, 1812.

This is a rough genealogy of the Duff family, omitting those members who settled
in Ontario and Michigan as is often the case.
It is possible that the history folks over in Ontario would have more useful
information. Duffs moved back and forth across the river for some time.
we track continual residence in the area from this period to the current era.
Thanks
