150. James Coffey Jr. was born circa 1774.

This is possibly the James Coffey for whom a marriage bond was prepared in Wilkes Co., NC on Aug. 30, 1794. The bride intended was a Sarah Coffey and bondsman was George Hays. This George is possibly the same that married Mary Juda "Polly" Mills. His bondsman was Benjamin Coffey.

Some researchers believe James is a son of Joel and Martha Celia Stapp Coffey, descended from Chesley Joel and Jane Cleveland Coffey with Chesley being a son of Edward Joshua Coffey and Grave Cleveland.
