I am an amateur geneologist. I have done much work on the Cofer family who lived in Bedford County Virginia during the 1700's through the 1800's. I would like to swap any information available.

Sincerely,
Joe Cofer

Joe,
Since you are a brave soul do you have any records for a James Thomas Coffer b 1813 or a Joesph Coffer b. 1814? I believe that they may be form Culpepper, VA. I am still tracking down Willis C Cofer of Rhea County and this is the latest tracks I have found for that illusive relative.

Surnames: Cofer,Hampton Callaway, Spear.
Most of my family migrated from Maryland to SC to Georgia. I know there were several Cofer brothers or cousins that also went to Virginia.
I am not sure if this is a clue that will help or not, but I have a Thomas Cofer listed in "The Wilkes County Papers" (in GA) in 1831 that shows three children, Martha, Ann and John. They are 16, 12 and 14 in 1831. The age takes them back to about the time you were looking for James Thomas or Joseph. I know these may not be the ones, but perhaps it is a lead. I would be interested in staying in touch as I still have some needs to confirm some of my line in the late 1700's. Feel free to contact me directly at debsc@computron.net

Carol,

I believe that I can take you back to the late 1700's. I believe that Jesse Henry Cofer's father was Jesse, whose father was Josias, whose father was Thomas of Culpeper. E-mail me.
