I know that Terry Dalls and Mary Boaz are buried in Graves County, KY but where Williason was from, I am not sure. But if we can connect, that would be great. Thanks.

I had a GreatAunt named Effie Parsley that was married
to a Joseph Coffee they lived all their married lives
in Pope Co Arkansas. I do know that Joseph's father
was not from Ark. but I will have to go thru my paper's
from Pope Co to find out where his father came from before
he moved to Ark.
Joseph was a well known blacksmith in Pope Co Ark he
even taught a few classes at the college in Atkins, Ark
for this.
I just heard that one of their daughter's Evelyn passed
away last yr. I think she was the only one of them left
except for the children of each child they had and the
grandkids and greatgrandkids and greatgreatgrandkids.
I will save this message and if they are come from where
it is you have them coming from I will email you
back ok.

Hello,
I have often wondered why the Edward COFFEY family changed their name to
COFFEE . The first COFFEY generations I am aware of are as follows:
Edward COFFEY (1676-1716)
m. Ann Ester Powell
John COFFEY (1700-1775)
m. Jane Graves
James COFFEY (1729-1786)
m. Elizabeth Cleveland
Ambrose COFFEY (1762-1818)
m. (1) Mildred Moore
m. (2) Elizabeth Rice
m. (3) Polly Carter
Holland Coffee (1807-1846) (son of Ambrose and Mildred Coffey)
m. Sophia Auginbaugh Suttenfield
Holland COFFEE was orphaned in 1818 and moved to McMinnville Tennessee to
live with an uncle named Jessie COFFEE. Holland moved to Fort Smith
Arkansas Territory in 1826. In 1836 Holland COFFEE opened a trading house on
the Red River, 25 miles northwest of present day Sherman Texas. So it
appears that one line from Edward Coffey changed their name to COFFEE with
the 4th Generation from Edward COFFEY.
My ancestor was Peter COFFEE. He was convicted of deception-forgery in
1729 in London's Old Bailey and was sentenced to DEATH. The Sessions of Old
Bailey list his name as Peter COFFEE. He was given a Royal Pardon in
October 1829 and the sentence was commuted to Transportation. In London in
the 1700s, the economy was poor, crime was rampant and harsh sentences were
the order of the day. However, only 40% of the death sentences handed down
in the Old Bailey were carried out after a review by the King.
In 1729, Peter COFFEE sailed from St. Katherine's Dock in London on
the to the Virginia Colony on Jonathan Forward's passenger ship "Forward
Gally" . In 1730, the "Forward Gally" landed at Dumfries Dock, Quantico
Creek inlet in Prince William County on the Potomac River. Peter COFFEE
served the next seven years as an indentured laborer and married Susannah
Mathews about 1738-40 . Peter and Susannah (Mathews) COFFEE are the
progenitors of the COFFEE family in America and were my g.g.g.g.g,
grandparents.
I first thought Peter Coffee served in London's infamous Newgate
Prison under a sentence of death until 1735, he was granted a Royal Pardon
and his sentence was commuted to Transportation. I came to believe that
because, so far, the only record of the sailing of the immigrant
ship"Forward Gally" was in 1737. I strongly believe that a more extensive
search through the Immigration Ships Transcribers Guild ( ISTG ) record of
passengers will reveal that "Forward Gally" also sailed for the Virginia
Colony in 1730, 1734 and 1737. The ex-slave trader and prosperous merchant
Jonathan Forward was a Contractor for Transportation and was consigned three
passenger and cargo ships, "Forward Gally", "Forward Frigate" and "Pretty
Patsie". In 1737, current records indicate "Pretty Patsie" under Captain
Francis Lux, landed at Port of Maryland (now Baltimore) the Gunpowder River
and the "Forward Frigate" and "Forward Gally" landed at Dumfries Dock on the
Potomac River in Virginia. The ISTG project is ongoing research and not all
records have been reviewed and transcribed.

Anyone interested in a copy of the U.S. Department of State's "Report of the Death of an American Citizen" for Mr. John Francis Coffee, please contact me so I can conduct research to locate the record. Mr. Coffee died in Australia on March 17, 1929.
