Father Thomas Coffer/Cofer has name listed both ways in various places. Some of my ancestors are listed as Coffer but most are Cofer. Be aware that you will see this. Do not make them separate families. No one went by Copher until Jesse went to Kentucky with the Boones. I do not why this happened but may be because there was a Jesse Coffey there, and I think they would get mixed up.
Is James your ancestor? Please don't go away!
