Recorded: July 1 1835


I will send a copy of the handwritten will by email to Ken.

Additional Comments:
This will was written 12 years before John died. It was recorded after his 
death in 1847.  There were a number of children born to John and his wife Mary 
Willimson after this will was written. John purchased his first land in Wilkes 
Co. in 1813.  I will send that paper in another note.  My great grandfather, 
Matthew DeKalb Cofer was one of those born later in 1844.  Mary never 
remarried but raised a large family after John's death. One of the sons died 
in the Civil War. At least three other sons served in the war.  Thomas, one of 
the sons was her attorney to handle affairs concerning her son who died during 
the war.  One daughter never married, but lived with Mary until she died.  
William Cofer was named executor of the will in another document filed in 
1847.  It is listed in "Mixed Records 1839-1868" p 17.
