Finley Luckey and Anna Belle Coffey Coffey
Update: 3/22/2010: Some facts need re-checking. Use with caution!
Finley Luckey Coffey was born in Missouri in Jul., 1849 to Osborn Nightingale and Jane L. Bell Coffey. Osborn was a son of Jesse and Elizabeth Riffe Coffey. Anna Belle was born Feb. 10, 1855 in McKinney, Collin Co., TX to Jesse P. and Tabitha Slaughter Coffey. Jesse and Osborn were brothers.
Osborn was born in Casey Co., KY but was in Missouri by 1835 when he settled in Louisville, Lincoln Co. on property in TS51, R2W, S27.* Jesse and his wife Tabitha, were in Collin Co. by at least 1855 when their daughter Anna Belle was born. The family appeared there in the 1860 census.
Finley Luckey was in Texas at least by 1873 when he married Anna Belle. The family moved around Texas a little: they were in Collin Co. in 1880, Liberty Co. by 1900 and Jefferson Co. by 1910.
Their first child was Gertella "Gertie", born Jun. 21, 1876 in Anna, Collin Co., and died Oct. 25, 1950 in Beaumont, Jefferson Co., TX. Gertie married Ernest C. Setliff c1896 in TX and had at least one child, Guy Clifton, born Jan. 12, 1898 in Anna and died May 25, 1961 in Beaumont. Ernest and Gertie are buried in Magnolia Cemetery while Guy is in Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Both cemeteries are in Beaumont.
Second child, first son, was Lewis Dennison, born Mar. 7, 1878 in Texas, and died Mar. 21, 1942 in Fort Worth, Tarrant Co. I do not have any information on Lewis's family. His death certificate reports that he was removed from that city to Beaumont. He is likely buried in either Forest Lawn or Magnolia.
Robert Lee was next born on Jul. 22, 1880 in Texas. He died on Dec. 4, 1918 in Port Arthur, Jefferson Co., TX. Cause of death: Influenza! He is buried at Magnolia.
Jesse Sanders was next, born Oct. 2, 1883 in Texas. He died Jun. 19, 1975 in Houston, Harris Co., TX and is buried at Forest Park - Lawndale cemetery in Houston.
Houston Ernest was number five. He was born May 8, 1994 in TX and died from influenza on Mar. 10, 1926 in Beaumont. He too is buried at Magnolia.
Slaughter Bell, a son, was born Apr. 10. 1887 in Anna, Collin Co., and died Aug. 20, 1962 in Beaumont. Slaughter married Hazel and they had at least three children: Jesse Lee, Lorris and Erma. Slaughter is at Forest Lawn in Beaumont and Hazel is likely there as well.
Myrtle May, the only other daughter born to Finley and Anna, came along on Aug. 17, 1889 in Anna. She died Feb. 15, 1976 and was buried at Magnolia. Myrtle married a Mr. Ebner.
Finley Luckey, Jr. was born Jun. 17, 1892 in Collin Co., and died Apr. 21, 1948 in Jefferson Co., TX. He is also buried at Forest Lawn.
Henry Stanley, born Aug. 7, 1894 in Collin Co., died of influenza on Apr. 2, 1926. He is also buried at Magnolia.
The last, number 10, was John Fielden, born Dec. 14, 1896, died Dec. 27, 1795 in Vidor, Orange Co., TX. He is buried at Forest Lawn. In the 1920 census he was newly married to Ruby and had no children.
I have the death certificates for most of the children of Finley, Sr. and Anna. In many cases they do not agree with the birth order that the children appeared at the various census years. As with most records of that sort (death certificates) I think I can depend on the death date as reported, but not the birth date without additional sources. I checked the WW1 draft records for the sons and used those birthdates instead of the ones recorded on the death certificates.
