Hi Linda, I have suspected Mary( Polly ) Elizabeth Moore Coffey may not have been a Moore. There are family stories of Cherokee Heritage thru Harriet Coffey Blair, the daughter of Gilliam and Mary Polly Moore Coffey. She died somewhere between the 1870 and the 1880 census. I can not find anything to support this theory other than family stories and a lack of any information about her. Gail **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
