Charles, I have a copy of a chapter in a book written in 1913 by an ancestor of mine, Dr. F. F. Johnson, that was co-written by JOHN J. JONES who may be related to you. It mentions some COFFEE people, Horatio is one of them. Here is the paragraph from the book: "James Burnett, John Milton Burnett and Julia Burnett were born in Virginia in the rotation, I believe, as above given. James was never married, having met with an accident in youth which rendered him a cripple for life. Julia married Horatio Coffee Feb. 22, 1823. Uncle Horatio also served in the Black Hawk war. Nine children were born to them, who reached maturity, and two or three who died before reaching that age. Allen B. Coffee and G. G. Coffee served three years as soldiers in the war of the Rebellion, the first in Co. E, 29th Illinois Infantry, the second in Co. E, 110th Illinois Infantry. I think there are but three of Aunt Julia's children living at this time, Richard M., Robert A. and Cloach Coffee, her other children having died leaving children with whom I am not sufficiently acquainted to enable me to write with certainty." Sounds like this could be your line. If so, I guess we are related somehow as the Burnett's are in my line. I can send you the whole chapter if you want, it is pretty interesting. You can email me directly.
