Generation: 4

  1. 12.  William M. Coffman was born in Dec 1833 in IN (son of George Coffman, Sr and Eda [Coffman]); died after 1900.

    Notes:

    The 1850 census show William as being born in TN. The 1860 and 1870 census shows IN. The 1880 census shows VA.

    Birth:
    1860, 1870, 1880 census has birth state as IN
    John Aaron's death certificate has Knox Co TN
    birth year may be 1836

    William + Jane Coats. Jane was born about 1833; died before 1900. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 13.  Jane Coats was born about 1833; died before 1900.

    Notes:

    The death certificate for William Coffman's brother James, shows his mother's maiden name to be Coats.
    Some source have the maiden name as Holt.

    Some trees have Jane Galloway since a William Coffman married Jane in Arkansas in 1851. Does not make sense

    Hello,
    I'm new to the list and looking for a ggg grandmother. Unfortunately, I
    only have a name and no birth or death dates. Her name is Jane Coats, she was
    from Tn. Her Husband's name was William Coffman or Kauffman also of Tn. One
    of their son's names was William Isac Coffman or Kauffman born Jun. 14, 1860
    in Tn. His dod : Apr. 10, 1948. He married Sarah Jane Kearley in Va. When
    they moved from Va, the story says he changed his surname to Coffman. This is
    all I have on these relations. Would love to hear from anyone who may have
    info. Thank you! Diana
