Hello My name is Mary Thornburg, I am researching my husbands family which has Coffmans in it. David Coffman (b) 1807, there was also a Andrew Coffman , that I recall also. David married Milly or (Emily) I could not make out which name was correct. If you are interested in my David and Andrew Coffman, e-mail me at this address, thornburg@cybersol.com I have lots more on the Coffman family, as my husband grandfather married a Coffman. Think you for your time.
