I have been researching our Coffield / Cofield side of the family. How far have you gotten with your John Coffield? Here is what I have gotten so far:
Thomas Cofield whom married Mary Unknown maiden name. Census records show both were born in GA. The children I know they had were:
John Robert (aka JR) b. 11/17/1863, John Robert 1st married Martha Rawles “Mattie” Brantley and had 4 kids, Alvin, Robert, Pierce and Walter. Mattie then passed away (not sure when or where). The John Robert married her cousin Mary Ada Brantley and had 3 more children with her, John, Lucille and Alton.
James b. abt. 1867, I have no other information regarding James
Walter Mitchell (aka W.M.) b. 09/1872 Walter married a woman named Belle. I do not know if they had children or not. In 1930 John Robert’s youngest son, Alton is living with Walter & Belle in Macon Georgia.
