William was a won of James Harvey and Anna Eliza Graham Coffey, born c1838 in Indiana. He married Margaret A. Reid on 17 Feb. 1863 in Washington Co., IN. I have not been successful in locating their death dates or burial sites.
They had at least seven children, all except the last, Clyde M., born c1877, were born in Washington Co. Clyde was born in Labette Co., KS.
The children were: Maurice; Mary, Zella, Hanah, Eliza, James, and Clyde.
The only successful find for those was Zella W., born 10 Aug 1867 in Salem, Washington Co., IN and died 8 Nov 1941 in Miller Co., AR. Zella married Alvah Horace Whitmarsh, born 22 Oct 1864 in Princeton, Bureau Co., IL, on 16 Nov 1891 in Labette Co. Alvah died 11 Nov 1923 in Miller Co., AR.

Alvah and Zella were parents of at least one child, a daughter named Mary Marguerite Whitmarsh. She was born 14 Jul 1892 in Texarkana, Bowie Co., TX and died there on 20 Jul 1967. She married John Cabell Ware Holman, a son of Henry Brown and Mary Stuart Holman, born 17 Aug 1891 in Washington, Hempstead Co., AR and died in Texarkana, Bowie Co. Both are buried at State Line Cemetery, in Texarkana, Miller Co.
I know of only one child born to this union; Marguerite Holeman, born 9 Mar 1922, died 13 Oct 2008. She married Fleet Foxworth Magee in Texarkana, Miller Co. on 23 Jun 1945. He was born 7 Dec 1916, died 25 Apr 1986, birth and death locations not know to me.
My interest in the Coffey family is locating the death and burial dates/places for William Henry and Margaret A. Reid Coffey. Please contact me if you have any ideas.
