Rice Coffey was the father of an illegitimate son William Coffee/Coffey Berry (Coffey-866) with Elizabeth Fields Berry.

From a comment posted by Edward Berry:

http://coffeycousins.blogspot.com/2014/07/rice-sarah-bradford-coffey.html

It is widely believed, based on a "daybook" (diary?) entry written by William Coffee Berry in 1870, that Rice Coffee (Coffey-866) was his father. A transcript of the entry is here: 1. http://coffeycousins.blogspot.com/2014/07/rice-sarah-bradford-coffey.html . (the relevant information starts below the first horizontal line separator)

At the end of that section it is mentioned that a DNA test has "confirmed" that a descendant of W.C. Berry is actually a Coffey. Specifically:

2. http://www.coffey.ws/familytree/dna/CousinsSummary.pdf shows that the individual in question is descended from W.C. Berry son of Elizabeth Fields (Open the document and search for "Berry").

3. http://www.coffey.ws/familytree/dna/CousinsData.pdf shows that this individual has the same high-resolution Y-haplotype (R-Y46776) as descendants of Rice Coffey's grandfather John Coffey (b ~1704) and his great grandfather Edward Coffey b ~1650 (again search for "Berry"). Y-str analysis also places this individual in the coffey cluster containing John Coffey's descendants. On wikitree Edward Berry (Berry-19751) has the same Y-haplotype as far as determined by Ancestry: (R-Z198). It is highly unlikely (but not impossible) that Bradley Berry had the same Y-haplotype down to this resolution,

Coffey-1034 and Coffey-866 appear to represent the same person because: I see no reason not to merge these 2 Coffeys
  1. 1034 and 86+.

They are like on birth and death dates and name.
