List of all Abraham (any spelling) from Charles F. Kauffman book

“A Genealogy and History of the Kauffman-Coffman Families of North America 1584 to 1937”

There are SO MANY Abraham’s in the book that it has always felt overwhelming.

For several years I thought about making a list of every single one of them and then marking in some way whether or not I should research them further.

I procrastinate best by doing something I’d rather do than what I should do. The list below is the result of exactly that. I should have been doing something else!

This lists every Abraham, every Coffman — no matter what the spelling.

Be sure to check my Which Abraham Coffman page as well.

Some of the Symbols and Abbreviation utilized by Mr. Kauffman:

A — Andrew Kauffman line.
A1 — Andrew Kauffman’s 1st child, 2nd generation.
Ac — Andrew Kauffman’s 12th child, 2nd generation.
A222 — Andrew Kauffman’s 2nd child of 2nd child of 2nd child or 4th generation.
B — Isaac Kauffman line.
C — Michael Kauffman line.
D — Martin Kauffman line.
E — Michale Kauffman and Barbara Holderman line.
d.y. — died young
d.inf. — died in infancy


Every Abraham listed in A genealogy and history of the Kauffman-Coffman families of North America, 1584 to 1937 compiled by Charles Fahs Kauffman, 1940

Page # Book ID Full statement where any spelling of Abraham & Coffman is used Potential Research
23-24 A31 Andrew Coffman (1750-1836) md. Mary Herr (1761-1838), dau. of John and Mary (Myer) Herr; g.dau. of Abraham and Anna (Miller) Herr. After disposing of the land in Manor Twp., Andrew migrated to Fayette Co., Pa., where he took up a larger tract of land in German Twp. They were Mennonites. His children were Andrew; David; Barbara, wife of John Gilliland; Mary, wife of Christian Weightman; Elizabeth, wife of Isaac Blosser; Benjamin; Nancy, wife of William Dunaway; John; Abraham; and Michael. Yes

38 A3241 Abraham H. Kauffman (Nov. 4, 1808-Oct. 31, 1854) single. Mennonite. Letort, Pa. No
60 A33f Abraham Funk Kauffman (Aug. 18, 1818-Nov.19,1819). No

His executors were Michale Martin and M. W. May whose place was taken by the widow after May’s decease. Record of but one child, but there were probably others. No. He apparently died in PA, not KY.
62 A3412 Abraham Kauffman (Oct. 10, 1838-July 30, 1839(. No
66 A4 Michael Kauffman (      –     1794) md. Catherine Immel. His will names his widow Gertraut. Possibly due to faulty spelling, it is Gertrude Immel instead of Catherine. …

Michael Kauffman’s will is recorded in Book F, page 267. He left seven sons to survive and allots his plantation to his sons Christian and Benjamin who are to receive a part of some bottom land in York Co., His son Jacob is not to get anything except a part of the York Co., tract since he has received his share. This bottomland was situated in Chanceford Twp., York Co. His sons were Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Andrew, Christian, John, and Benjamin. He was a Mennonite.

Definitely pursue. Information ellipsed should be reviewed as it names Michael’s brothers, Isaac and John.

Veronica Herr (Oct. 2, 1775-Mar. 3, 1829), dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth Herr; md.2 Anna Charles (July    1776-Mar. 6, 1847), dau. of Jacob Charles.

These sons, Benjamin and Abraham, lived within and operated this mill until 1824 when it failed. … Sadly no. If his sons operated the mill until 1824, this son Abraham cannot match mine. My Abraham migrated to Kentucky not long after 1802.
68 A41127 Abraham G. Kauffman (Oct. 28, 1843-July 3, 1920) md. Martha Metzger (Feb. 11, 1850-July 22, 1923). No

71 A41222 Abraham Kauffman (July 29, 1836-     1868), Mason, Ohio. There is no data whether or not there are additional brothers and sisters or descendants of this line. I am told that Jacob G. Kauffman and his sister Fanny K. Kautz had another brother, whose name is not remembered, and that he lived in Manor. Twp. No
71 A413 Abraham H. Kauffman (       ) md. ______ Kurtz. He helped run his father’s mill at Windom, Pa., until the failure of the business due largely to the first panic in 1819. Banks recalled money at a time when little money could be realized for commodities in storage. Possibly an after-effect of the War of 1812. No

191-192 A5735 Abraham Sprenkle Kauffman (Nov. 9, 1835-Nov. 14, 1855 of pneumonia). The story runs that he was engaged to be married, and hastened after a day’s work to take a bath which chilled him too much so that he made a short call, returning home early due to not feeling well, and death followed a few days later. No, but the story of his impending marriage and the bath deserved some web page space.
192-193 A57386 Mary Virginia Kauffman (Feb. 25, 1877-    ) md. Jan. 30, 1900, Paul Sylvester Kauffman (Jan. 9, 1875-    ), son of Abraham and Salinda (Glatfelter Kauffman (see B727523); … No

No. Believe no connection but slight possibility that the Abraham mentioned ‘might’ be related.
459 B7241 Abraham Kauffman (Dec 21, 1806-July 26, 1883) md. Catherine Royer (     ), dau. of George Royer. Milling and distilling. [Fascinating information on this gentleman. Was called Abe.) No, lived in or around Bedford Co., Pa not in VA or KY.

466 B728 Abraham Kauffman (Oct. 8, 1792-Dec. 4, 1834) md. May 10, 1819. … Married in Washington Co., Md., … Mennonite. No, age is right for a son of a brother or cousin but my Coffman’s were never in Maryland.

471-472 B72a John Kauffman. Nothing is known further regarding him. A letter of Jacob Kauffman, ninth son of Andrew states, “After grandfather moved, one of the older boys went to Frederick, Md., and father never saw him after he left home. The boy went to live with an uncle.” Whether this is the above John or another brother we do not know. We know that his brother Abe married in Washington Co., Md., in 1819 to his second cousin Susanna Herr and letter may refer to Abraham,; but Abe is younger than Andrew. Extremely doubtful as this family was in Adams Co., PA (Reading Twp.) However, this section has tons of details if this is your family.
473 B74113 Abraham B. Kauffman (Jan. 19, 1874-Nov.7, 1930) … Single. No

535 D3 … a letter was written by Abraham Coffman of Licking Co., Ohio, to his brother Daniel Coffman in Shenandoah Co., Va., Feb. 2, 1813, and was found preserved all these years in the Bible of Daniel. [Full letter follows.] No, see the D217 entry above.
This is the same person.

John Ruble whose son Dr. W. K. Ruble is Health Director of Wilmington, O. Doubtful. However, he could have been the son of My Abraham’s brother or cousin. And one of my g-g-g-grandfather Harmon’s sons was named Lewis, my g-g-grandfather.
596 4425 Abraham Coffman md. Emma Kibbler. No
604 8 Abraham Kauffman (     ) md. Veronica _________. In 1783, he and his wife deed their interest to the land in W. Nanteal Twp., Chester Co., to his mother. The Census of 1790 lists one Abraham Kauffman as resident of Bern Twp., Berks Co., with one male over 16 yrs.; 4 under 16 and three females. In 1821, one Abraham Kauffman died in Armaugh Twp., Mifflin Co., Pa., and willed his wife Fanny everything. His executors were son Abraham and Daniel Kreider. No. And more details in this section on his father Christian Kauffman (   -1764) md. Jan. 13, 1755, Margaretta Schnaebele, who died 1784. … Often people try to connect My Abraham with this one. But as you can see he died in 1821 in PA; mine died in 1848 in KY.
612 4 Abraham Kauffman was the executor of father’s (Jacob) will. … No. Father Jacob (1823-1879).
612 4 Samuel Kauffman (Oct. 21, 1802, in Lancaster Co., Pa.-1867) md. Elizabeth Swartz, Trumbull Co., Ohio. Issue: Elizabeth, Tobias, Matthew, Mary Ann md. Andrew Hull, Maria, Jane, Samuel, Susanna, Abraham, Martha. No

621 6 Abram Kauffman. No. Son of Samuel (1798-1857). Nothing else listed. But if son of Samuel, impossible as my Abraham.
623 7 Frederick Kauffman (1709-1789) md. Elizabeth ________. Sept. 21, 1742, a Fredrich Kauffman landed in Philadelphia from ship Frances and Mary. The tax roll for Donegal Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., shows him in 1757 taxed 15 shillings. Tradition speaks of him coming from Switzerland, and serving in his community as a Mennonite minister. Issue: Abraham, John, and Barbara. No. But because the data fits and is often referenced as a ‘good probability’, I am including the other details of these “Abraham’s” to save time in the future. One of the most telling reasons is that this book does outline the siblings and none of them FIT my family. However, I wouldn’t be surprised in the future to find them as “kissin’ cousins”.
623 7–1 Abraham Kauffman (1741-1802) md. Magdalena Shirk, dau. of Casper Sherick of Bethel Twp. He fell heir to the homestead which is now near Annville, Lebanon Co., Pa. At the time of his death, it was a part of Dauphin Co., Pa.; prior to this, Lancaster Co. Issue: Abraham, Christ, Catherine, Barbara, John, and Magdalena. See pg 623, #7

630 7–1 Rev. Abraham Kaufman (Jan. 5, 1811-Aug. 28, 1849) md. Anna Faber, Grad. of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa; Andover Theolog. Sem.; Paster of St. Philips Church, Charleston, S. C. No, date of birth makes this impossible.

637 1 Abraham Coffman (1796 in Penna.-    ) md. Sept. 12, 1816, at Zanesville, O., Jane Spear (1795 in Penna.-    ). Tradition relates he came down the Monongahela River, settling temporarily at Zanesville, later going to Kentucky and finally at New Albany, Floyd Co., Ind. No. His parents were Henry & Catherine (?)
