I do not have much on the Coffman family, but would love to find someone who may have the line that meets mine, one who is important is the one that married into my Major line. Mallicoat or the other spellings of it is my main line from England or Ireland (there are some in England but it is thought that they may have come over from Ireland)... any way My 2nd great John D (Daniel) married a Mariah (Marie and her kids called her Necy and she is buried with the name Necy Mallicoat on a land with her father and mother in-laws who were William C (Crawley) Mallicoat and Margaret Dotson Mallicoat ... the farm is or was owned by Mallicoats for a long time. As you will see one of the sisters married a Coffman (not sure but think he died... as late in life she married my John Daniel Mallicoat her sisters Mariah's husband (Mariah died in 1874). I have a little more on the Bowers also. But I do not have any more information on William R. Coffman. going by dates Rachel who William md. was 24 at that time if William was any way close to her age that means he was born around the 1840's, of course he could have been married before. Any help? At the bottom are a couple of other Coffmans I have.
