This is probably the line of Coffee's that moved into Oklahoma and then faded away into history. I have never found where this group originated from or where they went. I suspect their name may have been Coffey before 1810 and were in Kentucky in the latter part of the 18th century. Many of the these Coffey's originated in North Carolina and in the early ninteenth century, some changed their names to Coffee. One gentleman of the Coffey line from North Carolina was Holland Coffee(y), the famous Red River trader. At the age of 10, after Holland Coffey's parents died in Kentucky, Holland changed his name to Coffee and moved to McMinnville Tennessee to live with his uncle, Jesse Coffee. Holland moved to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and later married Sophia Suttenfield-Auginbaugh and they had no children. In 1846, Holland Coffee was killed by Charles Galloway, who was the husband of Holland Coffee's niece. The fight in 1846 between Galloway and Coffee was over a remark made !
about Sophia's affair with Sam Houston following the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836. Sophia Suttenfield-Auginbaugh-Coffee-Butts-Porter remarried twice after Holland was killed and she died in 1897. This Coffey-Coffee line is not in any way related to my Coffee line from Stafford and Prince Edward County Virginia at least as far back as 1730.

Are these perhaps the Coffee families who also married into the
Fields-Compton and Highsaw lines? My Coffee family was from N C and came
down through Tennessee. I will look up my dates and names and send them.

My great-great grandmother's name was Cynthia Ann Coffee Tripp. All I know is that she was born in Arkansas, married William Jesse Tripp (W.J.) on February 14,1866 in Scott County, Arkansas. They moved to Oklahoma in 1896 and settled in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. W.J. and Cynthia are both buried in Wynnewood. We have hit a wall due to the fact that the family does not know any of her sibling's names or her parents.
