Isaac was a son of Elias Henry "Eli" and Hannah Bullen Coffey. He was born in Kentucky, probably Rockcastle or Madison Co., in April, 1854. He first married Mary Florence Hayes on Feb. 5, 1878 in Rockcastle Co. and by her fathered one child Julia Florence Coffey born in Rockcastle Co. in Feb., 1880.
Julia married Jesse B. Waller on Feb. 10, 1897 in Rockcastle Co. He was born c1868 in TN. With Jesse, Julia gave birth to at least two children: Bessie in Dec., 1897 and Laura in Feb., 1900, both in Rockcastle Co.
Mary Hayes Coffey apparently died at the birth, or shortly thereafter, of Julia for Isaac married a second time on Nov. 18, 1880, in Rockcastle Co., to Lamina A. Morris, born Jul. 1861 in KY. I have seen her named as Minnia and Minnie. A death date for her or Isaac has not been found. However, Isaac was alive in 1920 when he appeared as a widower and head of household in the Lexington, Fayette Co. census. Another occupant of the household was enumerated as Minnie but named as his mother.* In 1930, Minnie Coffey, age 68, was enumerated as a widow and the mother-in-law of Will Shelton, husband of her daughter Florida [sometimes Cora or Flora].
Isaac and Lamina had at least six children:
Thomas J., born Oct., 1880, married Mrs. Elizabeth Fathergill in KY, c1908. Elizabeth's first husband has not been found but, she brought three Fathergill children to her marriage with Thomas: Flossy, born c1898, Lucas, born c1900 and Mildren, born c1906, all in KY. They all appeared in the 1910 census at Valley View, Madison Co., KY but not in subsequent years. I have found [potentially] Mildred in 1920 as a ward of Cordelia Kendall in the Court House Pct., Franklin Co., KY. Flossie Fathergill was a roomer in the household of John P. Ashworth in 1920, Fayette Co. Lucas was not found in 1920, but there exists a gravesite for a Lucas Fatheregill in the Camp Nelson National Cemetery at Nicholasville in Jessamine Co., KY. This Lucas was born in 1898 and died in 1977. The corresponding birth years for all three of these Fathergills closely correspond to those that Elizabeth brought to her marriage with Thomas. I have found no children born to Thomas and Elizabeth.
Isaac's next child was Florida, born Feb., 1882. She first married William May and gave birth to a son, Cecil E. May, born Mar. 24, 1905 in St. Clair Twp., Butler Co., OH. In 1910 he lived with Isaac and Lamina in Madison Co., KY. In 1920 he lived with Isaac, who claimed to be a widower, in Fayette Co. and, in 1930 lived in Fayette Co. with his mother. By this time, Florida had remarried, this time to Will Shelton, born c1880 in KY. The family appeared in the 1930 census for Lexington, Fayette Co. I know of no children born to Will and Florida.
Following Florida was Cleo, born Sep., 1885. She married Charles R. Spurlock, born in OH in 1885. They were married on Sep. 6, 1904 in Madison Co., KY where they stayed until at least 1913. Their first four children were born there: Lonie, b1906; Katherine, c1908; Arnold, c1910 andVoline, c1913. A fifth child, Marie, was born c1919 in OH.
Hattie was the fourth child, born c1887 in KY. No further information.
Lillie, born Sep., 1891, married a Mr. Sauers and had at least two children: Ralph, born c1911 and Lucille, born c1914, both in KY. Lillie was a widow by 1930 and was residing with her two children in her father's residence in Lexington.
The last child that I have for Isaac and Lamina is Lucinda, born Mar., 1894 in Rockcastle Co., died there in Sept., 1894.
*Isaac was age 63; Minnie was 59 and was probably his wife.

N. B. The 1920 census for this family includes a 59-yr old Minnie Coffey whose entry appears to be "daughter" but could be "mother," indicating perhaps the "mother of the household." If not Lamina, then who is this person? Also included is "daughter" Flora, age 36. Is she Florida or Cleo?

Charles Clark Coffey
Coffey, Charles Clark, of Fayette, is serving his fourth term as circuit clerk of Jefferson county [MS], and is one of the well known and popular citizens of his native county. He was born in Fayette county, Jan. 27, 1853, and is a son of Chesley Shelton and Mississippi Seraphine (Davis) Coffey, the former of whom was born in Tennessee and the latter in Mississippi. The father came to Mississippi as a youth and was one of the citizens of this State who volunteered for service in the Mexican war, in which he became a member of the Second Mississippi regiment, commanded by Col. Charles Clark, in honor of whom the subject of this sketch was named.
He [Chesley] was a planter and followed farming all his life, owning a large tract of land in Jefferson county. He died Feb. 25, 1869, aged fifty-two years, having never recovered from the wounds received in the Confederate service. His wife died in November, 1884. At the outbreak of the war between the States Chesley S. Coffey showed his loyalty to the Confederate cause by organizing Company D, Nineteenth Mississippi infantry, this having been one of the first companies which left Jefferson county. He continued in active service until the battle of Williamsburg, where he was wounded and taken prisoner, being held in captivity several months after which he was exchanged. He then returned to the army and was later discharged because of disability. He was captain of his company in the Mexican war and also in the Civil war.
Charles Coffey was the second of six children, one of whom died in infancy. They were, in the order of birth: Bradford Davis, who was graduated from the law department of the University of Mississippi and died a few months later; Charles C., the subject of this sketch; Chesley Shelton who practiced law at Fayette for a few years and then died; John Mott, a planter and stock-breeder, residing on the old homestead; Sallie O., who lives with John M.; Edgar N., who attended the agricultural college at Starksville, Miss.
He [Charles] was a druggist at Fayette until the Spanish-American war, at which time he was made captain of the military company at Fayette and went out in the First Mississippi, and remained at Chickamauga Park and was later sent to Kentucky where the regiment was mustered out. Captain Coffey then applied for a presidential appointment and received a commission as second lieutenant in the Thirty-third Texas volunteer regiment, and went to the Philippines where he remained two years, and was in forty-five skirmishes and engagements, having assisted in the capture of Aguinaldo and his cabinet. While in the Philippines he was commissioned captain of his company.
Upon the return of his regiment to the United States they were mustered out at San Francisco. He then returned to civil life for about six months when he again applied for presidential appointment and received a commission as second lieutenant of cavalry and was assigned to the Twelfth regiment of U. S. A. Later he was ordered to Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., to attend military school for two years and received a commission as first lieutenant and assigned to the Second cavalry, U. S. A., with which command he again went to the Philippine Islands, spending nearly two years. His regiment is now in the United States and is considered one of the best cavalry regiments in the United States service.
Charles C. was afforded the advantages of the University of Mississippi, which he attended three years, having been in the junior year at the time he left school. He has been identified with various lines of business enterprise in his native county and has held offices of distinctive trust and responsibility. He served one term as sheriff of the county and he is now serving his fourth term as clerk of the circuit court of Jefferson county. Mr. Coffey is a stanch [sic] supporter of the principles and policies of the Democratic party, is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias, and both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, South.
On Feb. 25, 1880, Mr. Coffey was united in marriage to Miss Olive S. Bullen, who was born and reared in Jefferson county*, being a daughter of James Bullen. Of this union have been born eight children all of whom are living except one, their names, in order of birth, being as follows: Charles Lamar, Coralie Alma, Anna Olive, Irma Lucile, Charles Clark, Jr., Willie Elma, Sidney Davis (deceased) and Eugene Vernon.
*Actually, Olive was a native of what is now West Carrol Parish, LA.

Chesley Shelton Coffey Revisited
My first blog about Chesley Shelton Coffey can be read by clicking on the title link.
Hardly any information has been found to document the ancestry of Chesley Shelton Coffey.
One source* describes him as a son of Joel Coffey and his wife Sarah Mackey. It is difficult finding this particular Joel in the US census record. He is believed to have been born in TN in 1789 and married Sarah Mackey in Maury Co., TN on Apr. 9, 1818.1
This Joel - a son of Chesley and Margaret Baldwin Coffey - made the trek from Cooper Co., MO to the Oregon Territory c1850, and after he reached age 60. He was in Vancouver [Oregon Territory, now in Clark Co., WA] as early as 1855. Sarah died in Cooper Co., MO, Joel Died Dec. 10, 1855 and was buried at Fern Prairie Cemetery in Camas, Clark Co., WA. Joel and Sarah are said to have had at least eight children, including Chesley Shelton, particulars unknown.
I have often wondered if their Chesley Shelton was the same Chesley born in Maury Co., TN in 1816 and died in Fayette, Jefferson Co., MS in 1869. That Chesley married Miss. Mississippi Davis of Oct. 20, 1850 in Jefferson Co. Their children were:
Chesley Shelton, Jr.; no particulars
Charles Clark, born c1853, married Olive S. Bullen and had children Anna and Sidney.
Jane Elizabeth, born Jan. 28, 1859, died Jul. 8, 1860, buried Jefferson Co.
John Mott, born Oct. 31, 1861, died Sep. 9, 1915, buried Jefferson Co.
Edgar Nathan, born May 14, 1869, died Nov. 28, 1922
Edgar married Carrie Watkins (or, Watson?) Campbell, born in MS on Jun. 24, 1869, died Nov. 18, 1955. He was in the US Army when I found the family in the 1910 census; he reported his occupation as Lt., US Army.
Their children, with the exception of one, were born in MS. The names are as copied from the 1910 Jackson, Hinds Co., MS census record:
With the family that year was Carrie, Ruth's mother. She was age 60, a widow and worked as a dressmaker.
Carrie, Edgar Nathan and his younger brother, Chesley III are buried at Fort George Wright in Spokane. I am told that this is now part of Fairchild AFB.
Chesley III was also a military man, having entered the US Navy prior to WW1. He died Oct. 1, 1918 and I have found no information yet about where he died or otherwise indicates he perished as a result of military action. His marker is inscribed "Gunners Mate 2CL." The family is in cemetery section 2, site 15.
Caroline's parents were Robert W. and Anna Cordelia Girault. Anna was first married to James Davenport c1857 in MS, then married Robert Wickham Campbell on 28 Feb. 1860 at Port Gibson, Claiborne Co., MS. Robert was first married to Nannie P. Burch of MS on Jan. 22, 1852. She was born in Jefferson Co. in 1836 and died there in 1858.
There are several instances of Campbell-Wickham unions in Richmond and in Powhatan Co., VA. The Watkins name appears among the first settlers of VA after Jamestown. Some of the later generations moved into the MS Territory prior to the Civil War. Robert and probably also Caroline are descended from those Virginia families that came into that territory.
