Looking for parents of Drusilla Coffer born ca. 1829 Kentucky, lived in Parke County, Indiana and married John O. Butler probably ca. 1848 and had Margaret (Maggie), William, Polly, John H., Albert, Henry, James, Morgan and Clark. They were in St. Clair, Missouri in 1880.
Suspect that Druscilla is daughter of Anderson Copher of Kentucky and Indiana or daughter of one of his brothers. Can any one help me out?

I tied to reply to this message earlier, but it was rejected by the
gc-gateway address. I will try it through the Cofer-L address.
A large group of my family that had come from VA/MD to Wilkes Co. GA in the
early 1800's migrated on to Gwinnett Co. GA. This line was from Thomas
Boswell Cofer, who was brother to my John Cofer (b.1788 in Charles Co. MD.
d. 1847 Wilkes Co. GA) and Joseph Benjamin Cofer. They were sons of Matthew
Cofer and Elizabeth Boswell. Matthew died in MD and they migrated to SC and
then on to GA in 1813. Thomas died in Gwinnett Co.
Let me know if any of this seems to fit with what you are looking for.
