<< Who were Shockley Hays and John Coffee? >>
John Coffee is Gen. John Coffee of TN and AL. He was married to Mary Donelson
- neice of Gen. Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel. Shockley Hays was a nephew of
Rachel. John Coffee was with Gen. Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in
Alabama and the Battle of New Orleans. And just to confuse things there is
another Gen. John Coffee who was from GA. He and John of TN and AL were
contemporaries and 1st cousins. Betty.
