In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this

in the year of Our Lord 1833--
Signed sealed and delivered David Coffman (Seal)
in presents of John Smith Hugh Adams Wm. T. Gamble
David's personal property was sold 30 Apr 1835. Listed below are the
names of the buyers and a partial list of the items they bought.
Lovell Legg -- one barrel salt $4.00, one buck skin $1.56 1/2
H.A. Bullington-- one lot beans $2.50, one bed and furniture. $10.00
William Legg-- one still and tubs $40.00, one lot begums $1.50.
William Skeats-- Forty acres land $87.00, one churn .62.
Markham M. Coffman-- One Bible $2.12, one set blacksmiths $45.00
Andrew Armstrong-- One keg tabacco .05.
Davis Harmon Coffman, Sr. and his wife Mary Ann Lovell were my 5th
great-grandparents. David was born about 1755 in Lancaster, PA and died
in Limestone Co before March 31 1835.
David Harmon Coffman went from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to the Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia. David lived on Walker Creek, Montgomery County,
Virginia in 1775. He settled in Tennessee in 1783. Through land grants
issued by North Carolina, he was surveyed 200 acres of land on February
1, 1785, on an order dated October 23, 1783
for a tract situated in Greene Country on the sou th side of Lick Creek.
This part pf North Carolina became Greene County, Tennessee when the
state was formed in 1796. Later this county was subdivided and this land
became part of Jefferson County in 1792. Purchased an additional 200
acres from William Lovell. Also in 1795, he received a 200 acre grant in
Hawkins County, Tennessee. He gave to his sons Lovell and Jacob 450
acres in Jefferson County and 200 acres in Hawkins County (1800). David
entered land in Limestone County, Alabama February 11, 1818. He
evidently did not move to Alabama until after 1823 as the deed dated
June 23, 1823 gave his
residence as Jefferson County, Tennessee. His will was filed in
Limestone County, Alabama, Will Book 4, page 477. The will was dated
June 12, 1833 and filed March 31, 1835 shortly after his death. His
children were named in his will. He served in the American Revolution as
an officer, and was granted the above stated land for his services
during the war.
Hope this helps. I'll send a typed copy of the will in a separate message,
Vaughn
Hi there,
It would be very helpful to me and probably others if you would post the birth and death dates-cities for your ancestor Jacob Coffman. Also his wife's name. Thanks.
