My name is Sharon Cofer, I was born July 22nd 1956 to Franklin D. Cofer and Janet M. (Gonyea) Cofer. I was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. When I was six months old when my mother returned to upstate NY, divorced my father, and I have not seen or heard from him since. I would very much like to meet my father. If you have any information please e-mail me. I look forward to hearing from you!
I have a Mirandy Copher (1809 - 3/13/1877), daughter of Samuel Copher who died in 1812. She married James Samuel White on 1/17/1824 and had 4 children:
1. Martha Ann White
2. James Samuel White
3. Missouri Wilson White
4. Louisiana M. White
They lived in Isle of Wight, VA as far as I know. Do you think there is a connection? Thanks.

Hello Greg
I am descended from Joseph Bubickofer, who came from the Palatinate on the ship 'Brothers' in 1755. He was 18 years old at the time. I found him next at the age of 38 living in Mont. Co. Va. and holding 1000 acres there. I'd love to know more about him, including his wife's name. Do you have any of this information?
I also have been trying to find out where he lived for twenty years from eighteen to thirty-eight. My mother says he came out of the Ohio territory. My email # is drm(a)epix.net. Dorothy MIller
I'm interested in any information about the Christiansburg, Va Joseph Bubickofer. He was my GGGGGrandfather. Specifically, I'd like to know his wife's maiden name.
Chris, I descend through Thomas Copher/Cofer who was the son of John Coker/Cofer. As you stated, we are most likely cousins, but I don't know the connection yet. I will continue to search this line. Thanks.
I have since found out that my line does not go to Thomas Copher I don't think. Here's the line I have since found out, we are most likely cousins. Let me know if any of these names link for you.
William Cofer born c1780.
John Randolf Cofer c. 1840.
John William Cofer c. 1870.
William Madison Cofer c. 1893.
Frank Madison Cofer born 1923
James Madison Cofer born 1948
James Christopher Cofer (me) 1974.
All of there were born in the Hardy District of Isle of Wight County Va.
I hope this helps in some way.
