Fourth Generation


46. Nebuzaraden Coffey109,110 was born in 1757 in Albemarle Co., VA.

Birth year could have been earlier. If his son was the Joel who married Jane Coffey in Wilkes Co., NC on Aug. 22, 1793, then Nebuzaradon was born earlier than 1780.

First name could be Isaac as suggested in Coffey Cousins' newsletter of March 1997 by Donna McDonald of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She also suggested that he was born in Wilkes Co., NC. Nebuzaraden resided in Wilkes Co., NC in 1790. He signed a will on 1 October 1796 in Madison Co., KY.111,112 Nebuzaraden died in Madison Co., KY in 1797. He had his estate probated in March 1797 in Madison Co., KY.113

Nebuzaradon and Elizabeth moved to Madison Co., KY about 1794 (by tradition; no records found dated prior to 1796) where he made a will. By 1801 his family joined the other relatives in Adair Co., Kentucky.

Nebuzaradon was a private in the North Carolina militia during the Revolutionary War.

Children listed are according to his will, found in Madison Co. Will Book A. The will was made Oct. 1, 1796 and probated on Mar. 7, 1797.

"If his son Joel was the one that married Jane Coffey in Wilkes co., NC 22 Aug.1793 then Nebuzaradon must have married several years before 1780."
