I find Spottswood most often referred to by his initials S. D. or, as Dandridge. He did appear in some census records as Spottswood. He was born Apr. 15, 1841 in Amherst Co., VA and married Martha Jane Whiteside there on Nov. 5, 1863. Martha was born Nov. 18, 1841, probably in Amherst Co., and died there on Dec. 10, 1891. Both are buried at Oronoco, Amherst Co. in the Church of the Brethren Cemetery.
There were at least 11 children born to their union, three of which married into the Jordan Coffey* family. All of their children were born in Amherst Co.
The first child I have for them is Pency, born Jan. 12, 1865, died Mar. 31, 1893 in Amherst Co. She married Edward Jackson Henson on Jul. 11, 1886 and had at least five children in the seven years before she died. She is also buried at Oronoco.
Nancy was next, born c1867. No further information.
Ginetta, born c1868, married C. M. Bradley on Oct. 29, 1896 in Amherst Co. No further information.
Charles Dandridge, the fourth child and first son, was born Oct. 10, 1869 and died Jan. 31, 1954 in Amherst Co. He married Lutie Virginia Coffey on Oct. 16, 1895 in Amherst Co. I know of one child; Gracie M., born Jul. 1898. Lutie was the daughter of John Jack Coffey, Jr. and, his wife Patricia F. "Patra" Tyler. John Jack, Sr. was a son of Jordan and Elizabeth Rippetoe Coffey of "Coffeytown" in Amherst Co.
Mary Jane was born Feb. 20, 1871 and died Nov. 18, 1914. She married Edmund F. "Ned" Coffey on Jun. 16, 1894 in Amherst Co. Ned was a son of James and Sophia Coffey Coffey. James was a son of William "Billy" Coffey and his wife Sally Crawford. Billy was also a son of Jordan and Elizabeth. Sophia was a daughter of Schylar Coffey**, another son of Jordan and his wife Betsey Hamilton.
Lucy Catherine was born in Sep., 1872 and married Leslie Austin Robertson, a son of James A. and Mary D. Robertson on Jun. 1, 1898 in Amherst Co. They had at least one child, a daughter Mary E., born May, 1899 in Nelson Co., VA.
Willis, the second son, was born May, 1874 and married Bessie M. Inge on May 25, 1903 in Buena Vista, VA. No further information.
The next two children, also sons, were Henry, born Jul., 1876 and Eddie, born c1878. No further information.
Ruth Davis was child number 10, born Sep., 1879. "Ruthie" married William Luther Green on Jan. 13, 1904 in Rockbridge Co., VA. No further information.
Bertha Lillian was the last child and was the third to marry a Coffey. She was born c1886 and married Irvin C. Coffey, born Sep., 1878 in Amherst Co. He was the son of William Henry "Cripple Henry" Coffey and his wife, Virginia F. "Jenny" Lawman. William Henry was a son of John Jack, Sr. and his wife Betsey Duff.
I continue to work on this family as time allows. Drop an e-mail or add a comment to amend any of this information.
Update: Something didn't look right so I went back over census records for this family:
1870 children: Pensie, age 6; Nancy, age 4; and Harry, 8 mos.
1880 children: Pencie, age 14; Nancy, age 13; Genetta, age 12; Charles, age 11; Marie (Mary), age 10; Lucie, age 8; Willis, age 7; Henry, age 4; Eddie, age 2; and Ruth, 8 mos.
1900 children: Lucie, age 17; Willis, age 26 and Henry, age 24.
So, Lucy in 1880 married in 1898. Who is the 17 yr-old Lucie in 1900? Ruth married in 1904. Why isn't she in the family home in 1900?
Harry, age 8 mos., in 1870 apparently did not survive to 1880 and, Eddie, age 2, apparently did not survive until 1900.
There was a child, Bertha, born in Oct., 1885. That would have put six years between her birth and that of Ruth in 1879 and leaves room for the second Lucie who, according to 1900 census was born in Sep., 1882.
*DNA testing has shown that Jordan was not a Coffey but was a child of (probably) Jane Coffey, and an unknown Taliaferro (Toliver) male. Jane was a daughter of William and Elizabeth Osborne Coffey.
**Schylar, Nelson and Henry F. may not have been natural sons of Jordan. Some believe they were more or less orphans taken in by Jordan and Betsey. They are the only children of Jordan for which no specific listing of their parents has been found.

James Coffey, Jr., and Sophia Giebear
Updated Nov. 13, 2010 and June 12, 2011
James, Jr. was one of the sons of James, Sr. and his wife Sarah Emaline “Sally” Sumpter Coffey. Junior was the sixth of 10, born c1823 in Wayne Co., KY and died Nov. 16, 1872 in Perry Co., MO. He and Sophie are thought to be buried at the Mount Hope cemetery in Perryville.
Sophie was of French descent; both of her parents were born in France. She was born in Missouri c1834. Her date of death and their marriage date is unknown. I’ve seen her surname spelled several ways, including Gabber, Giebear, Gebbar, etc. In the 1850 census of Cape Cinque Hommes, Perry Co., MO, the family surname is spelled Giebear.
James may have been married prior to his departure from Kentucky. Up until c1851 he was in in Pulaski Co., KY. In 1860 he was in Perryville, MO with Sophie. However, in the census that year there was a female child named Permelia E., age 14, born in IL. She may or may not have been James’ child. James was in the household with his parents in 1850 and there was not a child named Permelia with him She could also have been Sophia’s child from a previous marriage, but she carried the Coffey family name in the 1860 census.
I have four children for James and Sophia, all born and died in Perry Co. and buried at Mount Hope:
James Henry, born Feb. 14, 1853, died Jun. 11, 1940. His wife was Mary Emma Dickerson, born c1866 in MO. She may also be at Mount Hope. They had at least one child, James Edward, born Aug. 25, 1895, died Aug. 14, 1961. His wife was Mary Zelpha Layton, born Oct. 18, 1894 in MO, died Nov. 10, 1979. They are also at Mount Hope.
William Austin was second born, Mar. 18, 1855, died Dec. 7, 1923. His wife was Margaret Adaline Fowler, born Feb. 14, 1862 in South Carolina, died Feb. 4, 1935. I have 10 children for them: Robert, born c1879 in MO; Florence, born Feb., 1882 in TX [sic]; James Austin, born Mar. 18, 1884 in Cinque Hommes Twp., Perry Co.; Rosalie, born Mar. 23, 1886; John Edward, born Mar., 1889; Maude, born Apr. 12, 1890; Jesse, born Feb. 29, 1892 in Bois Brule Twp., Perry Co.; Everett, born Jun., 1895; Charles H., born Nov., 1896, died May 7, 1923; and Lillie, born Oct., 1899. Charles H. married Alice Mary Staelens, born Aug. 15, 1895 in MO, died Apr. 30, 1963 in Perry Co. Alice is thought to be Charles’ second wife.
Mary Jane was born next, on Feb. 12, 1857, died Jun. 24, 1954. She married c1885 John D. [Douglas?] Red, a native of IL, born Sep. 17, 1842. He died Jan 30, 1908. Both are buried at Mount Hope. Their children were Mary S., born c1886 in IL; Julia, born Apr., 1888 in CA [sic], and Charles, born Mar. 1894 in MO.
Lucinda Elizabeth was last, born Sep. 10, 1859 in Adair Co., MO, died Aug. 7, 1937 in Perryville. Her husband was John Calvin Welker, born Jul. 9, 1858, died Nov. 6, 1931 in Perryville. They too are at Mount Hope.
Their children were: Ola Elma, born Mar 11, 1884; Jesse Clarenton, born Jun. 7, 1886; Clinton Oliver, born Jun. 14, 1888; Mary Ethel, born Jan. 5, 1891 and twin daughters, born Sep. 1, 1892 that apparently died at birth and unnamed. The Missouri birth records report that Ola was the 3d child born to Lucinda and the twins were No. 6 and No. 7. They also report that Mary Ethel was child No. 6. If the records are correct, John and Lucinda were parents of at least eight, perhaps nine children.
I have not yet begun to research all of the children belonging to each of James and Sophia’s children.
Readers are invited to add to or correct any of this information.
The first two children of John Calvin and Lucinda Elizabeth Coffey Welker were William E., and Victoria Edith.
William was born Aug., 1878, died Jun. 8, 1950, Perry Co. William's wife was Josephine Maria Lappe, born Dec. 15, 1880 in MO, died there on Jun. 10, 1968. Children were Rudolph and Elmo. Wm. and Josephine are buried at St. Maurus Catholic Cemetery in Biehle, Perry Co., MO.
Victoria was born Oct., 1881 at Cinque Homme and married Joseph Baudendistel. Joseph was born c1885 in MO and died Aug. 28, 1937 in Rulo, Richardson Co., NE. Victoria died Jun. 26, 1988 in NE and is also buried at Rulo. This family moved around a lot! They were in married in MO, c1908. By 1910 they were in North Dakota where they remained at least through 1912. From 1914 thru at least 1917 they were back in MO but by 1921 they were in KS and remained there at least until 1930. That year they appeared in the Irving, Brown Co., KS census on the Iowa Indian Reservation.
Their children were: John E., born c1910 in ND; Raymond S., born c1912 in ND; Victor, born 1914 in MO, died 1916 in St. Louis, MO; Lillian, born c1917 in MO; Paul, born c1921 in KS; Mildred, born c1923 in KS; Juanita B. born c1925 in KS and Wesley E., born c1927 in KS.
James, Jr. was one of the sons of James, Sr. and his wife Sarah Emaline “Sally” Sumpter Coffey. Junior was the sixth of 10, born c1823 in Wayne Co., KY and died Nov. 16, 1872 in Perry Co., MO. He and Sophie are thought to be buried at the Mount Hope cemetery in Perryville.
Sophie was of French descent; both of her parents were born in France. She was born in Missouri c1834. Her date of death and their marriage date is unknown.

James was in the household with his parents in 1850 and there was not a child named Permelia with him She could also have been Sophia’s child from a previous marriage, but she carried the Coffey family name in the 1860 census.
I have four children for James and Sophia, all born and died in Perry Co. and buried at Mount Hope:
James Henry, born Feb. 14, 1853, died Jun. 11, 1940. His wife was Mary Emma Dickerson, born c1866 in MO. She may also be at Mount Hope.
