Bye Carl in > Wichita > Dear Carl and listers; I have Coffmans (listed below) and ancestors of D.H. Coffman III on file. I have been searching for more information on his daughter Mary E. Coffman and her (?first marriage?) to an Alonzo Hendricks and the father of her first child James Monroe Hendricks. The family story is that "Alonzo Hendricks rode off on his horse one day and never was heard from again." We have found some possibilities of another family that he probably started. He was supposedly a school teacher and boarded with the Coffman family. He supposedly married Mary Elizabeth when she would have been 15-16 yrs. (age according to the 1880 census). . I have found only one Alonzo Hendricks/Hendrix in the 1880 census in the Parker Co. area and he was a married man w/ a wife and baby. I'm beginning to wonder if the other Alonzo might have been the father and she never actually married him, and that the story was told to save her reputation back then. (grasping for straws!) I have searched for a marriage certificate for Alonzo and Mary E. with no luck so far. I have also tried to find out if there was any Alonzo Hendricks as a school teacher in the area with no results either. If he was a teacher, he was not there in 1880. Mary later married 2nd a man with the last name of "Davidson?" I have no info on him. Would love to share Coffman info and appreciate any help on these puzzles.
