    2. JEAN WATTS PACE
    3. Elisha Coffee/Coffey and his wife Mary 'Polly' (Morris) Coffee moved to Murray Co., GA from Franklin Co. Elisha was born 27 July 1801 in SC. He md. March 1825 to Mary 'Polly' Morris. He died 15 March 1891 in Tennga (10th Dist) Murray Co., GA and is buried in the Coffee Family Cemetery off Tennga Road in Murray Co. His wife Polly was born 31 Jan. 1806 in Franklin Co. She died 9 Sept. 1861 in Tennga Dist. and is also buried in the Coffee Cem. Polly Coffee also had a brother, James Morris who also moved to Murray Co. from Franklin. I am try to locate information on his life there. According to an old article about the Morris family in Franklin Co., he moved to Murray Co., about 1840, where he 'engaged in farming, merchandising and banking, being president of Planters and Mechanics Bank at Dalton up to the breaking out of THE WAR. He died 12 June 1865. His will was written and witnessed in Early Co., GA and and was probated in Randolph Co. I am trying to find when an! d why he moved from the northern part of Georgia to the southern part. Does anyone have anything on these families. I have names of the Cofee children but James and his wife had no children. Thanks, Jean Pace
