Her last spouse was William Neely to whom she was married - when both were age 70 years old - on Dec. 4, 1930 in Allentown, Allen Co., OH. Anna apparently had only one child.

Their children were Emily; Elmer Juett; William Hyder; Annie; Evelyn Isabel; Henrietta Elizabeth; Fannie Catharine; Mary Magdalene; and Margarette Hazel.
"Osie" Nukols was a brother to Callie C. Nuckols who married Eric Harris, a son of John Abraham Harris and his wife Mary Jane Coffey. Mary Jane's family was written about in the previous blog. The Nukols were children of Henry Juett and Georgianna Miller Nukols.
The last child born to Jesse and Nancy was James Rucker. He was born on Feb. 22, 1881 in Nelson Co. and died in Allen Co., OH on Aug. 10, 1934. His wife was Martha Rebecca Anderson, born c1881 in Staunton, VA, died Dec. 11, 1938 in Lima, OH. I know of one child, Virginia B., born c1915 in VA, and she may have been a foster child. James and Martha are buried at Cairo East Cemetery in Allen Co., OH.
This concludes the children of Jesse and Nancy Allen Coffey as I have them. All of the photographs and much of the family data are from the collection of Shirley Houk for which I am grateful.
