Notes:

He went by Harmon all his life. The only reference found with his first name was in his father's will. Most of the men in his family as well as his sons also went by their middle name.

I do not believe he knew the date of his birth -- not even the month. He was the last child of Abraham Coffman who was born in Virginia.

He may not be in the 1840 census. It's possible that Elender had died (I have not found any record of her death or burial.) and he was living with a brother or sister, parents, etc.

There is an Ann Eliza Coffman (father Harmon) m Wm Kennedy but found her death certificate. She was listed as "colored".

Died:
Age: 78

Notes:

There is a Nicholas COFFMAN, born about 1770 supposedly in Shenandoah County, VA. Could be Abraham's brother but more likely a son of John Nicholas Coffman. He and his family, including a son named Abraham, migrated to Indiana or Tennessee.

Names of children are from his will.

Henry Pendleton's birth date from 1812 record. John Henry's too.
There is a John Coffman and a Henry Pendleton Coffman listed separately in Abraham's will.

The Jacob Coffman (ignored) has a son Abraham Coffman born in Hardy Co WV.

Abraham married TRIPLETT, Margaret Ann ★. Margaret died after 1849. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: Hardin, LaRue, Hart Counties In Kentucky, USA
• Census: 1840, Hart County, Kentucky, USA
• Census: 1850, Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA

Notes:

Margaret is definitely a "tre" person-- a strong possibility the Martha was just a misspelling. More research on Marsha. If no more sources are found, may remove Martha.

My bet is Elizabeth has a sister named after her mother, Martha A, born 29 Mar 1828. See https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/8484/EdgarCntyIL-0578?pid=2088&treeid=160212268&personid=282092399290&rc=539,1471,665,1509%3B751,1473,829,1511%3B640,2675,813,2723&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Quv22057&_phstart=successSource

• Residence: 1830, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA
• Residence: 1840, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA
• Residence: 1850, Southern District, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA

Notes:

Believe his son DEFINITELY was named Isaac but am having doubts on the North Carolina data.

!!!!!DAR no longer approves this John TRAVIS is son of Champion TRAVIS. THEREFORE, I HAVE REMOVED HIM & ELIZABETH BOUSH AS PARENTS. Have not deleted them. 5/16/2020 1:32am
HOWEVER, SADLY, I cannot get "any" verification that Champion Travis' son, John Travis is THIS man.

****John TRAVIS is my 4th great-grandfather but wives need to be verified. A wife named Sarah was listed living with him in the 1850 census at their son Isaac (George Isaac) home. There is another marriage of a John Travis to Elizabeth Oliver but I do not know if this is the same John Travis. There is another John Travis married Sarah CHURCH, dau of Edward Church, his firstborn. 5/1/2020

Fold3 has a company payroll record for a TRAVIS, John in the 5 Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War) as a Drum Major in Capt. Burges Ball's Co of the 5th Virginia Regiment. Serving from April 1 to May 1, 1777. And from Nov 28, 1776 to April 1, 1777, from Sep 28 to Oct 28, 1776. Oct 28 to Nov 28, 1776. Ergo, he served from Nov 28, 1776 until May 1, 1777. John would have been only 8 years old. https://www.fold3.com/image/22964262


Birth:
One source says Pittsylvania County. (See NOTES.)

John married Sarah. Sarah was born in 1770 in Maryland Colony, Colonial America; died in 1852 in Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Between Nov and Dec 1850, Southern District, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA; He was still living when census taken in Oct 1850.
• Birth: 29 Aug 1777, Virginia, USA; From U.S. Sons of Revolution War soldiers. No last name was posted, only Sarah.
• Death: 1850, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA; See NOTES for source.

Notes:

The SAR data about Sara and John is no longer accepted as valid by the DAR.

Sarah Chilton: Birth: 1770 in Maryland.
John TRAVIS is my 4th great-grandfather but wives need to be verified. Source: https://wc.rootsweb.com/trees/117534/I24846/-/registry

Chilton was Shelton and more likely her maiden name. BUT I haven't found a father for her. I've found Sarah's but what I've found also having one dying young, the rest married but not to a TRAVIS or anything close to that spelling. THEREFORE I'm removing her maiden name from the tree. 5/17/2020 7:03pm

Both John & Sarah were living when the 1850 census was taken in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He was 81 and she was 80. She was born in Maryland in 1770. He was born in Virginia in 1769 (based on census). They were living with Isaac Travis.


Birth:
See NOTES for source.

Died:
Taken from U.S. Revolution War Soldier.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 19 Oct 1735, Stonington, New London County, Connecticut, USA

Notes:

See https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~southron/genealogy/Weldon/d1.htm

Birth: The birth year 1735 on FindAGrave is "circa". There is no picture of the tombstone so am using 1732 instead.

Jonathan married HANKS, Mary Elizabeth ✓ in 1760 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of HANKS, Luke ✓ II and DALE, Elizabeth) was born in 1741 in Pittsylvania County, Colony of Virginia, Colonial America; died in 1815 in Abbeville District, South Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Elizabeth Welden
• Birth: 1742, Lunenburg County, Virginia, USA

Notes:

After the death of her second husband, William Pearman, Mary moved to the Abbeville District of South Carolina by 1806.

Apparently she moved to SC with her son, Weldon Pearman, as he is shown on the 1860 US Census living in Abbeville, SC.
