at familysearch.org you'd find this:

1880 Crooked Creek, Estill, Kentucky
Film Number T9-0412 Page Number 59C
COFFEY William 39 works on farm KY TN TN
Josephene 27 KY KY KY
Ida J 2, Charly I 1, KY KY KY
Abraham 15, Rhoda B 13, KY KY KY

It appears that William had just remarried, so let's look at them earlier to see who Rhoda's mother was:

1870 Station Camp, Estill, Kentucky;
Roll: M593_459; Page: 603; Image: 466
Irvine Post Office
COFFEY Wm W 28 farmer, all b KY
Elvira 24
Abraham 5, Rhoda 4
(next)
RICHARDSON Jemima 70 keeping house KY
*wid of constable Ryan Richardson
*the listing preceding Coffey was also a Richardson but I don't see relationship

1850 Estill, Kentucky;
Roll: M432_198; Page: 95; Image: 423
28 Oct
COFFEE Cobby 50 laborer SC
Mary 46 VA
John 19, Susan 14, Thurisa A 12, TN
Matilda 10, William 8, Osborn 4, Mary J 2, Elizabeth 5, KY
(next)
ADAMS William 79 cooper VA
Elizabeth 76 VA

Back to above - it appears that an Elvira was Rhoda's mother, but again referring to familysearch.org, Rhoda & Abraham's mother was given as Eliza/Elzira McSWAIN, died 19 NOV 1875 Estill Co - married 17 APR 1864. Rhoda married Zachariah JONES. I don't know if this is her or not:

1860 Estill, Kentucky;
Roll: M653_365; Page: 0; Image: 217
Irvin PO, 19 Jul
McSWANE Wm 58 farmer, all b KY
Elizabeth 52
Susan 20, Elzina/Elzira 13, Nancy 11, Jas 7
HISLE Wm R 30 shoemaker
May 8, Sarah 5, Lucy 2

Back to 1880, Charley Coffey's mother is Josephine. 1900 he's not shown with a wife, single not divorced or widowed but what the heck, things happen, KY's a commonwealth:

1900 Red Lick, Estill, Kentucky;
Roll: T623 518; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 28
COFFEY William Oct1841 58 wd KY NC VA farmer
Ida J Oct1877 22, Charles Oct1878 21, Thos J Apr1881 18, Mary E Jul1884 15, Dora M Nov1892 7, James Apr1895 5, KY

SSDI has Alger Coffey born 31 Jul 1897 Death: Jun 1967

The only alg* the right age that I found on 1900 census at Estill Co was Algin h Flynn, parents John & Elizabeth, Station Camp, Estill, KY but he's still there 1910 so that's not him. "Algier Coffel" is listed 1910 Red Lick, Estill, KY

I'm unrelated, let me know if anything there was helpful.
