64 years/6 months/20 days which would resolve to 18 Mar 1869.
The 1870/1880 census shows him borm in abt 1867


Asked if she remembered Henry Coffman,his granddaughter Vida Hale Pope said yes she did. She remembered him as being very kind and gentle. She could remember when she was very young sitting on his lap and him rocking her. Vida said the story of him being shot while riding horseback was not true. The family could have never afforded a horse.

Henry and John Aaron Coffman worked at Bodert Mines which were closed as the depression set in. The two brothers then started working a mine in Pocket. Henry would walk from V.I.C. (a mining camp just outside of St Charles) to Pocket (guessing about 3-4 miles) everyday to work the mine. Henry died shortly after they started up the mine. Vida thought walking in the bad weather may have lead to his death, but from the cause of death on the his death certificate I wouldn't think so.

Henry married Mary Elizabeth Newman about 1892. Mary (daughter of Andrew Jackson Newman and Martha Jane Sybert) was born on 22 Feb 1872 in Lee Co, VA; died on 12 Nov 1962 in Lee Co, VA; was buried in Lee Co, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Note from Vida Hale Pope - Grandma Coffman always claimed that God "told her things". She said that God told her that Evan (her grandson) was going to die while visting family in Kentucky. Evan did develop diphtheria and may have died from a reaction to the medience he was given. Grandma said nothing about this until years later.

Greenfield had two sons named Thomas J. One by each wife.
Sarah's son was born in Kentucky in 1863 and named Thomas J ... middle name unknown. This TJ did not leave KY.

Mary's son was born in Arkansas in 1879 and named Thomas Jefferson. Most likely Mary wanted the child named after her father.
This TJ died in California.

Greenfield married Sarah "Louisa" Taylor on 10 Feb 1865 in Knox Co, KY. Sarah (daughter of Clayborne W. Taylor and Sarah Anice Woolum) was born on 6 Dec 1845 in Knox Co, KY; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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

Birth:

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
