cousins once removed, and our daughter together is
our daughter and our 9th cousin once removed.
We didn't know this until recently. It is pretty funny.)

Hi, Tim Stowell here, list Moderator.
In order to get the ball rolling, I'll post some of my tree and if others
will do the same maybe we can see where we can help each other.
My first proveable, or one that I have proof on is:
Thomas Coffey - born 7 Mar 1742, Essex Co, VA died 1825, Wilkes Co, NC
married 1 - Elizabeth Cleveland ca 1750
2 - Sarah (Sally) Fields
Thomas & Elizabeth had 6 children of whom:
Smith Coffey born ca 1776 in Albemarle Co, VA died 1839 Cherokee Co, NC
married Hannah Boone
Smith and Hannah had 9 children of whom:
John Morgan Coffey born ca 1809 in Caldwell Co, NC died before 1870
married Elizabeth Day
John Morgan and Elizabeth had 12 children of whom:
Athan Smith Coffey born 25 Oct 1847 Cherokee Co, NC died 29 May 1928,
Union Co, GA
married Martha Ann Jones
Athan Smith and Martha Ann had 9 children of whom:
Annie Lee Coffey born 10 Jan 1890 Cherokee Co, NC died 22 Jan 1981, Coweta
Co, GA
married John Wesley Abercrombie
Annie Lee and John Wesley had 4 children of whom:
one was my mother
I do have further back than Thomas but haven't proved it to my satisfaction
yet, so will not post it at this time.
Next?
