Possibly another daughter named Martha. OR perhaps one of the above daughter's middle name was Martha. The COFFMANs, especially the men, often went by their middle names. For instance, both Richard Harmon and John Henry went by their middle names.

Interest initially is who were the parents of Abraham Coffman (records also have Cofman) and was his wife Margaret HOWEY or Margaret TRIPLETT. Documented evidence of some kind needed as there were multiple Abraham Coffman's in his age group. And his children's names are similar and duplicate each other. Strongly suspect related individuals but would like to collaborate with someone doing serious research in this family. --Idogenealogy 21:32, 13 April 2007 (MDT)
