 I found this photo, among others, of the John Gordon Coffey family.  John was born Aug. 24, 1840 in Forsyth Co., GA, died Feb. 5, 1920 in Pickens Co., GA.  The caption under this photo identifies John, but only names the ladies only as his daughter and grand-daughters.  John and Mary Monroe Pettitt (var.) were the parents of at least 14 children, nine of which were girls.
