History of Daviess County, Kentucky, Inter-State Publishing Co., Chicago, 1883. Reprinted by McDowell Publications, Utica, KY, 1980. p. 623. WILLIAM MUFFETT was born in Breckinridge County, Ky., Jan. 6, 1831, and is a son of Benjamin Muffett, who died when William was but five years old. Our subject's mother, Elizabeth B. Duncan, was born near Yelvington, this county, and had removed to Breckinridge County, but upon the death of her husband she returned with her family to this county. She afterward married Henry Roberts. Mr. Muffett has always lived on a farm; and, as his father died whe [sic] the children were all small, he had but very limited educational advantages. Mr. Muffett married a daughter of William Bell (deceased), and is the father of seven children, of whom four are living--Alonzo, Mary A., William H. and Hillary B. Mr. Muffett is a member of the Christian church. Muffett Duncan Roberts Bell = Breckinridge http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/daviess/muffett.w.txt
