Note: (The date of birth was derived from the U.S. and International Marriage Record, 1560-1900 but no record has been found to confirm its accuracy. The gravestone does not provide a date of death. The date stated here was obtained from the book, "Thomas Coffey and his descendants, a brief sketch of the life of Thomas Coffey", compiled by a descendant, Laurence H. Coffey in 1931. It states, “Thomas Coffey died in 1825 at the age of 83 ....... His wife died a few years later .....” As a result, the date here should be taken as approximate. )
Sarah and Thomas Coffey were at first buried in the Hull/Hall Cemetery. In later years, their great grandsons moved them to Harpers Chapel when Hull/Hall cemetery became neglected and overgrown.

Sarah "Sallie" (Coffey) Steuart, 1792-1865
