• 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".
