Would love to learn from which line John Cofer b. 1815, and married in Gwinnett County, Georgia in 1837, comes.
My father-in-law told me his ancestors came from Virginia to Georgia. For some reason, I have very strong feelings that John came to Gwinnett County with Elijah Cofer and his wife, Chaney Green. John would have been five years old at that time.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thank you.

According to the Social Security Death Index, Frances V. Crenshaw, born 2 Dec 1892 died in May 1977 with a last known residence in Moody, McLennan Co, TX. The Texas Death Index sets death date as 15 May 1977. I believe this to be the dau of John Vanek and Veronica Kulak. In the 1900 census she is enumerated with her family with a birth date of Dec 1892. Obituaries for two of her siblings include Mrs. Frances Crenshaw of Moody as a survivor. What Crenshaw did she marry? Did they have any children?
On 4 Jan 1922 a marriage license was issued in McLennan Co to Francis Vanek and M. T. Coffer. I believe they were married at St. Mary's in West. In 1930, Frances is enumerated with her parents as Frances Cofer with two children, Edvin (Jack?) age 7 and Lucile (Lucy) age 5. Marriage status is divorced. What happened to Edvin and Lucille? What happened to M. T. Coffer? Who was he?
I checked the Waco paper on microfilm for a week or so after her death date but could find no obit. Guess I could have missed it. As of May 15 the death certificate passed the 50 year mark and may be accessible.
Any help would be appreciated.
