Mary Ann Coffman, physician in Indiana
I am searching for the parents of Mary Ann Coffman, b. 1755, d. 1847.She was a well educated German woman and practiced as a physician for many years in Scott and Jackson Counties in Indiana.She had quite a local reputation as a doctor.She was married to Samuel Bridgewater.Their daughter, Kessiah, son-in-law Elias Payne and seven grandchildren were murdered by Indians in the Pigeon Roost Massacre of 1812.
One of her other sons-in-law, Isaac Coffman was also murdered at the massacre.I don't know the family
connection between Mary Ann and Isaac.
Mary Ann and Samuel Bridgewater had 15 children.Thanks,
Cindy
