649. George W. Coffey was born circa 1801 in Russell Co., KY. George died in Adair Co., KY on 28 August 1856 fever2723
Not documented, but strong circumstantial evidence: George W. Coffey (b. ca 1801, KY, d. Aug. 28, 1856, Adair Co., KY) - by 1850 census, Albert G. Coffey was living in a boarding house in Jamestown, [Ky] so no census data on his parents, but earlier census show George W. having a son in this age range. When George died in 1856 his minor children (their mother was already dead) lived with Albert and his bride, and older children were married in Albert's home. It is documented that George's daughter, Nancy, was the mother of Jennie Louise Morris, wife of Liston Pancoast Coffey, which would make them first cousins. It is believed that George was son of Cleveland Coffey and Jane Witherspoon, based on reports of Cleveland's will and recorded ties with other children mentioned in said will.

Based on other researchers, that would lead to: Joel Coffey and Martha (Patsy) Stapp (Stepp), Edward Coffey, Jr., and Grace Cleveland. (Cheryl Harris, CCC 2005, p6)
