Henry Coffee was the son of Hugh Coffee and Agnes Montgomery.

Hugh, born 1770 in Lancaster Co. was sibling of Henry. (IGI)
Salathiel Coffee - numerous books refer to Salathiel as son of Chesley and Jane Cleveland. He was born in early 1750's and married an Elizabeth LNU. Found in Chester Co., SC a reference to a July 1788 Court, the following: "Elizabeth Noland, late widow of Salathiel Coffee and Pearce Noland, Plaintiff against James Marion Gore, Defendant." That case seems to establish the maiden name of Noland to the widow of Salathiel. (CC, Sep., 1995)

Note: DNA testing has (so far) shown Hugh Coffee to NOT be related to either the Peter or Edward line.
was hugh coffey in the calvary during the revolutioary war, I ran across his name while trying to draw a connection with my ancestor samuel maddox to benjamin maddox of the waxhaws
Hello Maddox - Perhaps there was a Hugh in the Rev. War, but the one mentioned here, born in 1770 might have been a tad young for that. If he was born in 1770, he would have been only 13 when the war was over in 1783.
