I am trying to find the parents of ELIZABETH CLARKE COFFMAN VEACH. I believe she was born in the Old Frederick Co area. In 1787 she married WILLIAM VEACH and they lived in Mercer Co KY. A court case of 1798 in Fayette listed her as the heir of THOMAS CLARKE and also listed SARAH SHEPHERD, wife of WILLIAM SHEPHERD, and daughters SARAH,ELIZABETH, and ROANNA as heirs. I have seen a WILLIAM SHEPHERD with wife MARY and daughters SARAH, ELIZABETH and RUANNA. This could be the same family. ELIZABETH was first married to a COFFMAN and had sons ISAAC, CHRISTOPHER and JACOB. THOMAS CLARKE was mentioned in several court depositions as having gone to KY with George Rogers Clarke, William Linn, Thomas Brashear, and others in 1775 to stake out land claims. If any of these names appear familiar I would appreciate some help. Betty Silfies
