Edith Inez Coffman

Edith married Arvil Williams [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Aaron lived in Pocket along the North Fork of the Powell River. His house was on the opposite side of the river from the road and there was no bridge. This river is not really deep or wide in all places but to keep from having to wade it all the time, they used a small boat to get to the house. John was well known for growing watermelons , especially yellow watermelons which were unheard of in that area.

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

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
