    Information from "The Coffman Family of VA, KY, & IN, by Edward E. Sampson.

    An early writing stated that three Coffman brothers came over from Holland in the early 18th century. It is not known what happened to two of the brothers, but Abraham Sr., is the son of the third brother, if this is correct the third brother is Jacob Coffman. Original spelling of last name Kaufman or Kauffman.
    Some of the settled in Pennsylvania, and Jacob moved to Virginia and settled in Augusta Co., where he anglicized his name to Coffman. He resided in Hampshire Co., VA in 1753, and in Hardy Co., VA in 1785.

    Jacob Coffman

    In an early account, Jacob was listed as doing business with the store of Mr. Hopewell in Hardy Co., VA. He was also listed as a resident of Pansy-North Mill Creek in Hardy Co. along with the Van Meter, Yokum, Westfall and Judy families. Jacob was dead by 1791. A court case in Hardy Co., VA identifies Jacob as the parent of Abraham Coffman and Catherine (Coffman) Smith (his other child, Susannah, was too young to enter the lawsuit).
