!Family Records and Information

Jesse Coffey and his wife Winnifred Compton Coffey are buried at the Long Swamp cemetery in Pickens County, Georgia.

I have not yet documented that John Coffey is the father of Edward Coffey. There are several other researchers that have accepted that he is the father of Edward.

When John Coffey wrote his will in March 1774 he named his children; James, William, John, Edmond, Thomas, Reuben, Benjamin, Winnifred Moran and Betty Fields. When his estate was appraised some nineteen years later, Elizabeth and her "lawful husband Thom. Fields" were named in the report of the appraisers. When Elizabeth's nephew, applied for a pension as a veteran of the American Revolution, Thomas Fields was named as his uncle by marriage.

Several of the Coffey men served in the Continental Amy during the American Revolution. Two of the most interesting were Elizabeth Coffey's close kin. Before he was eighteen years old, the previously mentioned Eli Coffey had served two three-month terms of enlistment as a substitute, first for Thomas Fields and then for his own brother, Ambrose, who was nearsighted. He went into service in behalf of Thomas Fields because Thomas had a "large family dependent on his daily labor for their subsistence". Eli survived the War and became a respected citizen and a responsibel member of the Yadkin Grove church.

Another of Elizabeth's relatives was Colonel Benjamin Cleveland, son of her aunt Elizabeth Coffey Cleveland.

He was called Jack.
