Leander Coffee Family Photo

In a future post I will be writing about the murder of my 2x great grandfather, Leander Coffee, in 1894 in Greenup County, Kentucky. It's a crazy story, and I have a bit more research to do before I write it up. For now I have a photo to share - this came to me by way of Nancy Wright Bays and John Paul Bays, who I was lucky enough to meet in a great group on Facebook called Kentucky's Feuds. (If you have ancestors from Kentucky, you definitely want to join that group and have a look around - very interesting stuff there!)


This photo is of Leander Coffee's wife, Elizabeth Slater, and their children - I believe this was taken a few years after his death. My great grandfather is John Henry Coffee.

In the photo:
