Don Crownover, who is a member of the Manchester Kiwanis Club presented the program at our meeting held on May 3rd.

Don is a History buff and because of his interest in History his talk was about the man who Coffee County was named after.

He had a very interesting talk about John Coffee.

General John R Coffee son of Captain Joshua and Elizabeth (Graves) Coffee married Mary Donalson Madding 3 Oct 1809 in Davidson Co., TN. There were ten known children born of this union: Mary, John Donalson, Elizabeth, Andrew Jackson, Rachel Jackson, Alexander Donalson, Catherine Harriet, Emily, William Donalson and Joshua Coffee.

General John R. Coffee fought in the War of 1812 under the command of Andrew Jackson. He raised the 2nd Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen, that was made up of primarily Tennessee militiamen and a few Alabamians. On 4 Sep 1814 he was involved in the Andrew Jackson - Benton Brothers duel. He married Mary Donalson daughter of John and Mary (Purnell) Donalson and relative of Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel Donalson Robards Jackson. His father Captain Joshua Coffee is believed to have served in the Revoltionary War.

He was a merchant, a partner in land speculation with Andrew Jackson and worked as a surveyor in Florence, Lauderdale Co., AL. Surveying the boundary line between Alabama and Mississippi.

Coffee Counties Alabama and Tennessee; Coffeeville Mississippi were named after him.

The speaker at our April 5th meeting was June Jones Fann. Mrs. Fann is a guidance counselor at the Coffee County Central High School.

However, for our meeting she told about the book she has written. The title of the book is "Dudley"s Ride: Through The Great Depression". The book is about Dudley Parker, a local Coffee County character. The book is available from Amazon, in both print version and in the Kindle version.

The Amazon page has the following description of the book: "Born after a commotion on a Sunday afternoon in middle Tennessee, young Dudley Parker agitates his way through a small community during the Great Depression. He ends up facing a setback that will consume him for a while and shape his existence.

It was a very interesting program because several Club members are familiar with Dudley and his exploits.
