Jesse Demastus and Letitia Coffey were married on 25 December 1862 in Nelson Co., VA.4824,4825 Letitia Coffey, daughter of George Washington Coffey and Rachel A. Campbell, was born circa 1843 in Nelson Co., VA.

The child named Latetia in the 1860 census is aged 5, and therefore would not likely have been married in 1862. There is an entry for a Meartetia [sic], age 17 at this census. The children were likely confused in the census record, or an incorrect name recorded for the marriage in 1862.

This child's name is spelled Meartetia in the 1860 census. However, there is another child, born 1855, named Letitia.
