Hello
I am a cousin to Tom Koffman and a descendant of Isaiah Koffman also. Isaiah had one brother named Daniel who according to an old family letter was a dairyman and went to Oregon.Isaiah died in 1838 along with his wife Ellender. Their son James Carol Koffman (my gr gr grandfather,Tom's gr) and his wife Abigail Hawkins Atkins raised James C sisters. One married a Hodge,another was Catherine Koffman Walker; another married a Hicks;two others moved to Gibson county near Trenton,TN when Jas C and Hawkins Koffman left McNairy co in 1867 at the end of the Civil War.The McNairy Koffmans married into the Hill family in East TN and several Hills married the Koffman sisters.
.
There was a brother to James Carol Koffman named Daniel Harrison Koffman .
The Daniel Koffman mentioned died early and his wife may have remarried raising the children under another name. My family never had any discussion or recollection of them. The information was found in a letter from my gr grandfather's sister from the 1930's. If I can find the letter I will let you know their names
regards,
James Green
