Biography

James COFFEY was born on Mar 13, 1774.
[Note: Morris County Texas was created from Titus County in 1875, and Daingerfield was selected as the county seat. Omaha is in the northeast corner of Morris County. Omaha was established in the late 1870's when the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas railroad established a narrow gauge railroad in the area. Some errors may have crept into this report by indicating the incorrect county for an event. Please keep in mind the county formation date while reading this report.]
