Notes
a. Note:   Daughters of the American Revolution records report that Nathan Coffey was born in 1760, that Mary Saunders was born in 1770, and that the two were married in 1785. However, considering that one of their sons was born between 1770 and 1780, it seems likely that they were born several years earlier. Mary was supposedly the daughter of William Saunders. Although D.A.R. records show Nathan as a son of Joel Coffey and Martha Sealey, he was probably a son of Chesley and Jane (Cleveland) Coffey. Nathan Coffey was either born in what is now Wilkes Co., N.C., or else he moved there with his parents from Virginia, while he was still a youngster. He was a private in the North Carolina Militia during the Revolutionary War. During the 1790's, Nathan Coffey and a number of his relatives settled in Green, later Adair Co., Ky. Shortly after 1820, he moved to Jackson Co., Ala., where he died in 1823. Mary (Saunders) Coffey supposedly died in 1838 in Kentucky. Nathan and Mary (Saunders) Coffey had 9 children: Rutherford, Elizabeth, Mary, Absolem, Joel, Grace, William, Nancy, and Catherine. Nathan Coffey served as a private in the North Carolina Militia. He was born in Anson, N.C: died in Jackson co. Ala. Nathan Coffey served as a private in the North Carolina Militia. He was born in Anson, N.C: died in Jackson co. Ala.
