Re: Coleman Henderson Coffman

Jeff,

I am a descendant of Coleman Harmon Coffman.He is my
great, great grandfather.I believe that is who you are searching for rather than Coleman HENDERSON Coffman.He is the llth child of David Harmon Coffman, Jr., born November 12, 1833 and Rhoda Ann Shelton.Coleman married first Jane Caroline Haney, who was born in 1829 in South Carolina.Caroline was the daughter of William and Letty Haney.Coleman and Caroline were married November l7, 1853 in Limestone County, Alabama by William P. Long, J.P.

Coleman and Caroline had eight children:Nancy Rhoda Ann Coffman, Lucinda A. Coffman, William J.S. Coffman ("James"),David Marion Coffman, Joseph Henderson Coffman, Elizabeth (Betty) Coffman, Eliza Emiline (Liza) Coffman and Robert G. Coffman.

David Harmon Coffman, Jr. is the son of David Harmon Coffman, Sr. and wife Elizabeth Keele.

David, Sr.'s father was Andrew Kauffman, Jr. and his mother was Magdalena Martin Kauffman.

It goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back...

I just saw a post on another message board about revisions on the book "From Across the River", originally published in 1975.Michelle Brown ([email protected]) is publishing "From Across the River ... Revisited".The new information focuses on the 12 children of David Harmon Coffman, Sr. and their relationships in Giles County, TN and Limestone County, AL and on to Texas.

Hope this helps.
