(Beth,Hi., Please send to Shirley and Nancy, and please are you attending
the Reunion in July, Knoxville?)
Dear COFFMAN-L Readers, "A CALL TO ARMS"
On Andrew Coffman,b.1760 Lancaster Pa.d. 1743 Grainger, Tn.(This Part
of Grainger Is Now Hamblen Co Tn.) and Brother David,b.1750 (same as Andrew)
d.1835 Limestone Co.Al. I'm in Andrew's line. Please be advised that the
City Of Morristown,Tn. moved Andrew and Wife Betsy graves in about 1890 from
probably their old farm, by order of city Gov. and they are not being found
where the records say they were moved to. Namely Economy Church Grave Yard.
I'll be in Morristown,Tn. asking the City for more info. on July 11th. thru
July 15th, and if you are related to these Brother's, I like you to send me
your names and e-mail, Because I would also like to ask also in your behalf,
and numbers sometimes make a difference. The City of Morristown may, or may
not of had this the authorized to do this according to a letter from a
volunteer at The Morristown Hamblen Library who did this work for me, and
who worked with the County Historian to Complete the file to do so. I'm Mad
for I fear the worse for their remains. Respectfully submitted, I remain,
Very truly yours, Carl Coffman, Wichita,Kansas. June 21st 2002.
Yours truly, Carl Coffman, Wichita, Kansas
