Listers: In the Tennesse Acts 1831-1850 I have found Asbury M. Coffey. He apparently applied to open a road in McMinn Co., TN in 1833. He is #39 (private), chapter 192, section 1. I would like to know if there are any Coffey researchers who may have some information on the Coffey family of McMinn Co., TN. In checking the census records there was also a Jesse Coffey and Marvel Coffey there. These are common Coffey names. I believe that some of the Grainger Co., TN Coffey siblings of Benjamin possibly moved to Benton Co., TN which was very near McMinn Co., TN. There is still a large family of Coffeys in the area of McMinn Co., TN (Athens) who still have a farm which has been theirs for generations and there is a old cemetery there. I have not visited the cemetery. Back in Grainger Co., TN I have a Frederick Mayers. He is #35 (private), chapter 141, section one, 1831. He is the deceased Town of Rutledge commissioner, not the Henry Maze I mentioned in my earlier post. I apologize for this error. I found no Mayers in the census but that doesn't mean I haven't overlooked them. I wonder if the enumerator or record keeper mispelled Mayes. Also, with this Frederick being deceased in 1831, does anyone know if the commissioners of Grainger Co., TN areas had a town commissioner and a county commissioner in 1821-1831? Could this Frederick taken the postion after Henry Mays/Maze died, stepped down, relocated? I also have our John Maye in the Tennessee Acts 1831-1850, 1847, #49, chapter 127, section 1, Grainger Co., TN. His description is "Mentioned". Since I have Big John Mayes as probably dying about 1848, is this John Maye a different John, or is it Big John Mayes? If anyone has any resources to check this and my previous post out, please post any response to the lists.
