I'm trying once again to track down more on her. she would be my great great grandmother. Ancestry.com trees have her commonly listed as the daughter of Nelson or Thomas Nelson coffee, but the catch there is he was born in 1849 and she was born around 1857, making him 8 years old at the time, just a bit young even then to be fathering children.
Some of the other information about TN Coffee does seem to match, having a daughter named Maude which is mentioned in our family history.
She married William Kelley in Red River, TX in 1871. William died later while breaking a horse (it broke him, as it were) though we don't know exactly when. The last of their children James Newt Kelley was born in 1879 so it would have to have been somewhere around or after then.
Evidently they also called her Molly.
Later she married a man named Thompson, divorced him, and then married an Idleman, unsure of the spelling. So far I've not been able to track her after the 1880 census so that's a bit frustrating. No idea when she died, we figure she was alive around the 1930's as my great aunt mentions talking to her.
As seems all to often, once I became interested in genealogy, everyone who knew something was passed on and no one really seems to keep records.

My Coffee family came to Virginia from Caven Ireland between 1640 and 1700. They migrated into the Carolinas and Georgia. They settled in Rabun Co. Ga. and Alabama. In the early1900's my Grandfather's family moved to Gwinnett Co. and Atlanta.

Yes, I'm related to Margaret Coffee, who married Michael Killoran, and in 1865 they left with their infant son Patrick (my great-grandfather) and came to Morgan Co., IL. Margaret's brother Darby (I believe his name was really Jeremiah) had been in the Morgan Co., area for a few years prior.

I am related to Coffees, and they came from Bunnanadden and Oghambeg in Co. Sligo. County Sligo might be a good place for you to begin your search for Thomas Coffee.
Regards,
Mary McCarthy

I am trying to find information on my GGGrandfather Thomas Coffee. He was born in Ireland in 1833. He settled in Uxbridge, MA with his wife Ellen McCarty that he married in Uxbridge - 1858. They had 5 children - Thomas, Esther (married John T. Gilmore in Woonsocket, RI 1886), Patrick (married to Anna Brady 1895 in Blackstone, MA), John (married to Catherine Egan in 1885 in Woonsocket, RI), William born in 1867. Thomas his father froze to death trying to get help for him and his Ellen. William died 33 days later. After Thomas and William died, Ellen went to Holyoke to stay with her mother Mary McCarthy. Soon after she traveled to Woonsocket, RI where she never remarried and raised her children. She died in 1891.
I am trying to figure out where in Ireland Thomas came from. I can not find anything on his arrival. I am guessing maybe he would arrive about 1850. Thomas's parents were Patrick and Mary. I am assuming he would have had brothers named Patrick, John,
I hope if there is anyone in Ireland trying to find Thomas or anyone from this area that would know where I could find his family. I would greatly appreciate it! Mary
