To Tonia Rose Coffman: I have lots of information on our ancestors if you're the d/o Ophie Coffman of Birch River, WV where I was born. I trace our line back to Jacob Coffman of Fayette Co., PA but can't find any info on his wife and 8 children. Let me know if I can give you info on your Dad's Grandparents William E. & Sarah E.(Strother) Coffman who lived at Polemic, Braxton Co., WV; or William's parents Benjamin R. & Mary E. (Boggess) Coffman of Harrison Co., WV; or Benjamin's parents Henry & Elizabeth (Robinson) Coffman of Harrison Co., WV; or Henry's father Jacob Coffman, reportedly born abt 1749 in the Fayette Co., PA area around Smithfield. I have an old photo of Henry & Sarah.

I'm not sure. One could be a different Coffman line as they may match a different set of Martins. I have not taken a close look at the cross matches.

VMR shows that Militia Unit to have been commanded by Colonel Thomas Marshall, the Uncle of David's wife, Mary Ann Lovell, and the Father of SCOUS Chief Justice John Marshall.
David was a Private.
Speculation is that the spelling was changed to avoid embarrassment to Family members for their Mennonite Beliefs in Pacifism. In some States Mennonites, Quakers, and German Baptists(Dunkers) were exempted from Military service as Pacifists.

I was to understand that the Kauffman's were Menoites..Check Martin "Whitehouse" Kauffman of Laury County, VA. bit of history there. His parents were from Lancaster PA where the Kauffman's came to America.I believe it was a part of the William Penn thing....Never knew any Kauffman/Coffman that was Jewish..Very German name, but if they were Jewish faith or heritage, I would still be very proud. The firs Coffman spelling that I know about is John Coffman of Mason County, VA, son ot the afore mentioned Martin "Whitehouse" Kauffman. FYI

Hello Tonia Rose Coffman, my maternal granmother was a Coffman and much like yourself in looks! If you would follow my tree, you will see the begging origins of Kauffmans / Coffmans that migrated from Germany, Switerland,etc. to PA,VA,Ohio,MO,IL...The "Old Pennsylvania Dutch" as they would often say! Many of the "Original Kauffman" clan, once landing in the USA,changed the name variation, along with their Religious beliefs. Jewish to Christian...My GrMa was very dark haired,eyed along with most of siblings, although two of thm were much lighter, somewhat "Ruddy"...I hope this helps you out! Marti

Do these two matches descend from the same child of David Coffman Sr. or two different children?
