- Audey (d.1772) m. Philip Kuntz [1]
- Elizabeth, wife of John Neff [1]
- Anna m. Jacob Neff [1]
- Isaac (d.1777) m. (1) [UNK] (2) Christina SITLER [1]

Elizabeth is named as the widow of Isaac Kauffman of Hempfield Twp in letters of administration granted on his estate in 1738.[1]
Research Notes
Earlier unsourced version of profile included middle names Barbara and Brubaker. No evidence is provided to support either of these, and they have been deleted. Evidently LNAB of "J" is also incorrect, but LNAB has yet to confirmed.
LNAB : It's hypothesised that Elizabeth's LNAB was Erisman.
- When Elizabeth's husband, Isaac, died in 1738, his estate was given into the administration of Elizabeth (his widow), Andrew Kauffman and Melchior Erisman (assumed to be his neighbours). It's likely that Andrew was his brother and Melchior was his brother-in-law.
- Both Elizabeth and Melchior had daughters named Addey / Audey. This is an unusual name, and may have been the name of their mother.

The profile includes an image of a publication which transcribes a 1729 deed in which Elizabeth is apparently identified as "Elizabeth J Coffman". However every person who "signed" the deed did so by making their mark, and the "initials" simply indicate where a mark was made. It's not clear that "J" was a middle initial, and, even if it were middle initial, it's by no means evident that it was the first letter of her LNAB.
