Hello List, I'm Carl Coffman In Wichita Kansas, and want to send a bit about my Ancestors, who show ties to your Surname and/or county in our records. So let me Thank you in Advance for your consideration. The Kauffman/Kaufmann/Coffmans were from Switzerland area, and came to The area of Penn State, to Land given to Lord William Penn by the Crown of England, in lieu of money owed Lord Penn, in about 1717. So indeed my ancestors are what was called Penn. Dutch. Two brother, David Coffman,b.1750 and Andrew Coffman,b.1760 came to North Carolina Terr. in 1781. This Terr.. become East Tennessee in 1793. The County and State lines changed a lot but when all was said and done, Andrew Coffman was in Grainger County and David was in Jefferson County. These Brothers Stay and Make a life in the middle of the Indian's and raised big family's. I'm in hopes some of you on list have some facts/stories, and know where they are buried and their farms were located in Tenn.. I know David died in Al in 1835, but I'm mostly interested in Andrew in Grainger. Thank you so much for your time.
