James Anderson Coffman was my 3rd great grandfather with his first wife Louisa Pike. Rebecca Spencer was his second wife. The Coffman's were from Putnam Co. IN and most of them settled in Sullivan and Linn Co. MO about 1860's, the Carmacks were in Owen Co. IN and also settled in Sullivan Co. MO in the 1850's Actually it seems that they were all originally from Kentucky and Virginia and they just seemed to sort of migrate to the same places at the same time period. There are a lot of Coffman's that married Carmacks in Sullivan Co. MO. One of which was the marriage of my great grandmother Maggie Coffman to my great grandfather William Carmack. Karla
