General John Coffee of Tennessee's father, Joshua, married Elizabeth Graves. He is the only Coffee who married a descendant of Capt.Thomas Graves. Joshua Coffee was one of my g.g.g.g.g grandfather, Peter Coffee's sons.
Some confusing exists between the two General Coffees. General John Coffee of Georgia was General John Coffee of Tennessee's cousin. Gen. Coffee of Georgia married Penelope Bryan and he served in the U.S. Congress until his death in 1833.
