It's on the left (heading to Blowing Rock) in a small "holler" on a small hill. It's a two story dull gold color with a metal roof.-- Jim Deans<P> <HR> Fourth Generation<P> Children of McCaleb Coffey and Elizabeth Collett<BR> Thomas Jefferson Coffey (1828-1901) m.

He joined the Confederate Army, becoming captain of Company E. 58th North Carolina infantry. Before his death he and brother, W. C. entered into an agreement that whichever survived the other should carry on the firm business as long as he thought fit, and then divide the property. <P> ------------<P> Children of William Columbus Coffey and Carrie Curtis<BR> Edgar S.

Meta Belle Critcher (1871-1958)<BR> Laurence Henry (?) Coffey (1875) m. Adah Costner<P> Henry Clay Coffey was in Co. F of the 26th NC CSA Infantry of Lee's army and took part in the July 1, 1863 attack at Gettysburg where he was the 86th of 87 wounded or killed of a total of 88 men. Company F directly attacked the Minnesota Iron Brigade on McPherson's Ridge and ultimately broke the Iorn Brigade on the left side of the Union line about the same time CSA's Jubal Early attacked the Union right side and crushed the Union flank. These two actions sent the Union forces running through the town of Gettysburg en route to Cemetery Hill where they would regroup with the rest of Meade's Union army for the next two day's Confederate disaster. Henry Clay Coffey was was captured on July 1, 1863 and exchanged later that year. He married Sephronia on 1/28/1864 and then rejoined Lee's army by 3/1/1864 and was present at Petersburg seige in 1865.<P> According to later family stories Sephronia ruled the home roost with an iron hand probably because she was still miffed (my opinion) at his leaving so soon after they were married. <P> There is a good photo of Henry C Coffey in Co. F in "the Globe Valley Revisited1783-1865" by Bud Altmayer a Blowing Rock resident.<P> <HR> Sixth Generation<P> Children of Charles Daniel Coffey and Meta Belle Critcher<BR> Carl Sylvester Coffey (?-1939) m.
