Founder: Leonard N. Coffey, b. Mar 21, 1930 - d. Jan 29, 1989 general area as well. This sounds like a fun place EDITOR’S LETTER to meet. Get your registration in early. Dear Cousins; I sincerely want to thank everyone for their contributions to the newsletter this past year and I can hardly believe that 2008 is nearly gone. It for your loyalty as subscribers. Most subscriptions went by fast! Even more amazing is the amount will expire on Dec.31, 2008. of information that has been added to the Coffee and Coffey genealogies. Then add to that, the lineages collaborated by the DNA project. WOW! Jim and I want to wish each and everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. I especially enjoyed the work contributed on Sincerely, Annister Coffey Chenault. Who would have dreamed that a woman in the 1700s would have Bonnie Culley left so many records. We are usually lucky to find even one record with a woman’s name listed. Then Jerry Coffee has added so much to the Peter Coffee line. Now if we could only prove parents for the people that we call “the Chesley Coffey line.” (Possibly I should talk to Santa Clause about that!) Be sure to check out the CDs listed on page 12, in Computer News. They are extremely valuable tools for working your family tree and would make great, inexpensive Christmas gifts, as well as a subscription to CCC – our newsletter. Also, check the Coffey Convention page. Danny Coffey has negotiated a great price for the banquet and is finding many good things for us to do. Our library is growing every year as well. Russell Co, KY was home to most of the Chesley Coffey line and many of the Edward Coffey line settled in this

2008 (continued from page 12) * Janine Ramsey, [email protected], has a breakthrough on RICE COFFEY, son of Levi Coffey. She says, "We have been looking for the maiden name of Rice Coffey's wife, Jane for some time. Dorotha Coffey married Abner Kilpatrick and she is the sister of my (Janine) ancestor, Levi Coffey/e who married Katherine Kilpatrick, Abner's sister. Earlier, I saw a death record for Dorotha that was void of any parents. But I have found another copy of the death certificate. The mother's name appears to be Dorotha Medaris. I believe she may be Dorotha Jane Medaris and may be a heretofore unidentified daughter of William H. Medaris and Susanna Nicholson who lived in Cherokee and Burke Counties, NC. =============================

COFFEY COUSINS' CLEARINGHOUSE NEW NAMES Carolyn Sudheimer Eigel, #10 Lily St. Greenville, SC 29617

NEW COUSINS Carolyn Sudheimer Eigel is not actually a Coffey descendent but is researching the line of Marvel Coffey who died in Maries Co. MO. Her grandfather was a half-brother to the John Coffey children. Marvel and Rachel Boone Coffey had eight children; Lavina, Elizabeth, Temperance, Irvin, William Brazeal, Squire, Campbell and one daughter who probably died in childbirth before they moved from TN to MO. She was married to William Moss. Carolyn is working on John Coffey, son of Irvin Coffey. John, a bugler in the Civil War, was born 15 Dec. 1844 and died 6 Sept. 1881 in Maries Co. MO. He married 11 Oct. 1866 to Susan Vanderpool. They were the parents of 4 children, Irvin, Elizabeth (Sudheimer), Oliver and Squire. After the death of John Coffey, his widow Susan married a widower, George Frederich (Fritz) Sudheimer. Carolyn says that they had a string of progeny, including her grandfather, Robert Lee Sudheimer who married Emma Wiles. They had 3 children; a daughter, Leota who died at age 9 from pneumonia, a stillborn buried at Vienna Public Cemetery and her father Charles Raymond Sudheimer. He married Margaret Hofmann of Osage City MO in August 1941. Carolyn is having a lot of success with her Vanderpool family and would like to hear from others working on her Coffey line. Her computer is down. We hope to have an e-mail address by next issue.

COFFEY DNA REPORT

By Fred Coffey & Lorie Okel ON THE INTERNET: Following are three links to Coffey Cousins topics on the Internet. (We know that many of you prefer the newsletter format, but there are some topics that really take up too much space and/or do not lend themselves to presentation in a newsletter.) COFFEY DNA PROJECT: If you haven’t checked on the Coffey / Coffee Surname DNA Project recently, drop in at the following and see what’s been going on: www. coffeysws/FamilyTree/DNA You’ll find how we’ve been using DNA tests to explore or confirm relationships between Coffey Cousins, plus some related families. You’ll find that we have a more diverse group of Cousins (or not?) than you ever imagined! HOLT/COFFEY CONNECTIONS: If you visit the above DNA project, you will find a very brief discussion of two HOLT families that the DNA shows to have a COFFEY connection. One involves a relationship in Whitley/McCreary County KY, and the other probably in Wilkes County NC. There’s a more lengthy discussion at the following link. Our HOLT contacts are LOOKING FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION the Coffey Cousins can offer, and you’re invited to look at the following and see if you know something we don’t: www.coffey. ws/familytree/DNA/HoltConnections.htm COFFEY/CHENAULT CONNECTIONS: The September 2008 newsletter offered some documents, provided by John Chenault, that were related to Edward Coffey and to Thomas Powell. John Chenault also made several other documents available. You can find the ones from the September newsletter, and several others, at the following link: www.coffey.ws/familytree/ familynotes/CoffeyChenaultConnections.htm

COFFEY COUSINS' CLEARINGHOUSE

* Patsy Castanon [email protected], says; “I am writing about an article on page 11 submitted by Jerry Coffee on the death of Elizabeth “Liz” Coffey. In his last paragraph, Jerry states that Elizabeth’s ancestor was Rich Coffey of Coleman Co., TX. This information is incorrect. Elizabeth’s father is Charles Coffey of Brownwood, TX. Her grandfather was Cecil Franz Coffey. Cecil’s father was Brooks Coffey, the brother of my paternal grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Coffey Nesmith. Their father was John Nathan Coffey, the son of William Saunders Coffey, one of the children of Nathan Coffey who died in Alabama in 1823. Elizabeth’s remains were cremated and will be placed with her grandfather in the Zephyr, TX cemetery. There was a Rich Coffey living in Coleman County in the 1800s but he is not part of my family.” ------------------------------------------------------* Jack Coffee says that the following list of ancestors in Issue 110, page 9 is confusing and Peter, the author, agreed. Jack says “Just going over the latest issue of Coffey Cousins newsletter, and reading your genealogy I got lost and wonder if something was left out? Your 6th GGP are shown as Squire Boone and Sarah Morgan.  Your 5th GGP are shown as William Coffey and Annie Boone, indicating to me that Annie was a daughter of Squire and Sarah!? My records show that Annie was a d/o Jesse Boone and Sarah McMahan; Jesse a s/o Israel and Israel a brother of Daniel and son of Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone. Peter Coffey said that Jack's version is correct. Peter's e-mail address; [email protected]. ============================== The Texas Coffey families are having their annual reunion on July 17-20, 2009.

Dead End Roads



page 

* Fred Coffey, [email protected], is interested in learning anything about the Nancy Chenault who married Edward Coffey’s grandson, Edmund. Edmund then had a grandson and great grandson named Joseph Chenalt Coffey (Jr. and Sr.). Jack’s Edward Coffey Project on the CC web page has this line. However it doesn’t show Nancy’s last name, and the other two are named as “Joseph C Coffey” rather that “Joseph Chenault Coffey”. But there’s no doubt it’s the same line. Would love to discover how this line fits to the Stephen Chenault who married Edward Coffey’s daughter Annister. (Jack had added a note: “Edmond Stewart Coffey and Nancy BARNETT were married in Albermarle co. or Amherst co. VA. He did marry a Nancy whose last name may have been Barnett or Shenalt. They lived mostly in Amherst co. VA on the Tye River, probably near Edmond’s brother William.” Fred adds, “He used the spelling “Shenalt” rather than Chenault. Given other relationships in that time period, I have no doubt that the name was CHENAULT.” You can pick up the youngest “Joseph Chenault Coffey” in the Edward Coffey Project by clicking on the following link, and then clicking back through the tree: http://www.thecoffeycousins.org/Edward%20Coff ey%20Project/b4169.htm#P4169 ----------------------------------------------* Don Coffey, [email protected], says, “We have not located John, b. 1801 and wife Catherine, b. 1806 Coffey after the 1856 Muscatine, Iowa Census.

His will was proved in July 1789. “In the name of God amen – I, Joel Coffee, of North Carolina and the County of Wilkes tho weak in body yet perfect in mind and memory constitute this my last will and testiment, I give my soul to God my redeemer and my body to be buried in a decent manner and after my just debts are paid I dispose of my worldly goods as follow, to wit, I give to my wife Martha, the plantation whereon I now live and all my household furniture and two Negroes namely, Harry and Teg, and all my stock of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs enduring

And if you look at your data, test. He does match the Edward Coffey line and you will see that James son, Joseph, married one descends from the Chesley sr.?? line through Bethada (or Beth Ada) Strunk. And a little digging Nebuzaraden (ca.1757-1797) into the Strunk family shows that Beth Ada was Fielden (d. bef 13 Jan 1834) the NIECE of the Jackson Strunk who married Thomas Hayes, b. 1806 Russell co.

So if James didn’t have might have anything in your records that would a son named Cole, then any one of his four add to this work.

JACK COFFEE found quite a lot on Thomas However there was a “Coleman Coffey” living in Coleman Coffey but nothing says that he was the Wayne County, KY, in the 1840 census. And this father of William Marion Holt. is indeed where most of the children of the above Thomas Coleman b. ca 1819, d. 9 Dec. 1890,son James were born. Most of the online genealogies of James B.

(Copied from the “REUNIONS” magazine, reunionsmag.com) * For those working on the Peter Coffee line, Jerry Coffee explains why Peter received a Royal Pardon. Jerry writes: "In England, death sentences for petty crimes were quite common until the end of the 18th century. However, only 40% of the death sentences were carried out and were those of serious offenses. The death sentences for minor offenses were given a Royal Pardon. The death sentences for minor crimes were commuted to “Transportation” with seven years indentured servitude in the American Colonies along with banishment.  After completion of the seven-year sentence, the convicts were given their “freedom dues” of 50 acres of land in the backwoods and a barrel of seed corn.  The American colonies were having a severe labor shortage, due to the production and export of tobacco to England. In 1776,

I’ve seen this repeated many times as a source for the Eli family on several websites. My feeling is that the birth date checks out with census data but the marriage year is most likely incorrect- I think the year would be 1847 at the earliest and probably closer to 1849 given that the first child was born in 1851 and their record in the 1850 census. Some family trees I’ve seen list the marriage date at 1847- they no doubt found the

This year I worked with the Boone Society, and a few other researchers, and discovered the connection of Elizabeth "Betsey" Durham, daughter of Martha "Patsey" Coffey and Mastin Durham. Martha was born  in 1758, to Rev. James Coffey and Elizabeth Cleveland, in Albemarle Co., VA, and died on Aug. 12, 1826, in Wayne Co., KY. She married Mastin Durham and they were members, like Daniel's father, Jesse Boon, of the Yadkin Church (Three Forks Baptist Church) of Wilkes Co., NC.
