Message Board Post:
The original message was sent by an Arthur Miller in July 2000 ( see at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/KYLARUE/2000-07/0965078705 ). In those days entries in that board did not automatically log into this one and vice versa.
The Abraham Coffman he writes about is my g-g-g-g-grandfather. His entry: "Looking for info on Abraham COFFMAN who died 1834 in Hardin Co., KY. I
find two of his children marrying into the William Miller family i.e. John Miller md. Axsa Kofman 12/26/1822 and Harman Cofman md. Elender Miller 5/8/1823. In addition, I found the mariage of Lennett Cofman and Abbe Miller 8/10/1811 in Bullitt Co. Is this Lennet part of Abraham's family? Who is Abbe Miller? Did Abraham Coffman come out of Pa.?"
Abraham Coffman did not die in 1834 but in 1849, in fact 8-Sep-1849. [See my site: http://www.ancestors-genealogy.com/coffmanpeach/pedigreechart-2.shtml]
Two of his children did marry into the Wm. Miller family. The Harmon Coffman was my g-g-g-grandfather. On his marriage "certificate" his name was entered as Cofman. Elender is not my g-g-g-grandmother. I assumed she died in late 1844 because Harmon married Elizabeth B. Pearman on 18-Feb-1845 in Larue County. I have never been able to find a record of her death.
I have not found a "Lennett Coffman" in the family but that does not mean it does not exist. Abraham has been a brick wall in my research for 9 years.
I do not have an Abbe Miller either but again both of these are VERY interesting. I will do some research on both. It is often via cousins that brickwalls are broken. If I find info, I will post it here as well as on my web site.
I wish Abraham Coffman came out of PA -- but then, I would not still have a brickwall if that was the case. He was born in VA, exactly where ... no "resourced" data has been found. His will, posted on my site, names as his wife Mary Margaret Triplett. And she's a brickwall too! Although I am sure she is related to at least some of the Triplett's in Hardin County at that same time.
It is possible that Mary Margaret was his second wife although I have nothing in the way of proof. But in those days it was not uncommon for a woman to die in childbirth or shortly afterwards. And the man would remarry. (Harmon Coffman did exactly that.)
Thus far in my research I have only found Coffman, Kofman, and Cofman spellings in "sourced" data for this family. One of my g-g-g-grandfather's descendents had "Chapman" as a middle name. But that is the only Chapman found thus far.
If you have information about any of the ancestors named, please reply or send me an email.
