I have been researching my Coffee family now for ages.as far back that I go and that I am sure of is William Henry Coffee, born in 1851, I am not sure if he was born in KY or TN. He married Elizabeth Hickman, and in 1880 census they lived in Saline County, IL and have heard that he worked in a saw mill. I am ok from him on down, but Prior to him I am so unsure of. I strongly think he is from the Line of William Coffee that came here from Ireland, father of Ambrose who married Lucinda Day. Not sure, but I think there was another Ambrose in there too, I have a Reuben&Emily as father of Wm. H. Coffee/ HELP IF YOU CAN
