Ann E. Coffey Irvine was married 18 Sept. 1832 at Pittsburgh, by the Rev. Wm (or Mr.?) Bond, according to family Bible pages.

(Those pages spelled her maiden name as Coffey rather than Coffee, contrary to other later reports citing her marriage at Warrior's Mark using the Coffee spelling. The Coffey spelling also was used in a set of her mother's Copley relatives' Bible pages, and in various reports across her extended family.)

Her tombstone calls her Ann E. Other reports called her Elizabeth Ann.

She was born 26 Nov. 1814 in Franklin County PA (Chambersburg area), according to the Irvine Bible excerpt that does not list her parents at all.

Other family and third-party sources report her as the daughter of Dr. Robert Coffey/Coffee Jr. and Mary Sarah Copley.

When Ann was about 1, her mother remarried to William West. Sources are unclear about either exact dates or else whether her father was dead or not then, as they report Robert Coffee and the West marriage occurred "about" 1815. Her father's burial location so far remains unreported or unconfirmed. But none of the sources dispute that Robert Coffey Jr. was her father, with West as her stepfather.

Her mother's Copley ancestors in England and Shippensburg area were industrial millers. A house related to Ann's grandfather, John Copley Sr. was being restored, according to a report from 2003.

Perhaps the middle names given to her sons are clues to her family ancestry, or perhaps that of her mother-in-law: Mayberry, Lloyd, Coffey, Porter, Forsythe and Christy. Those names do not yet seem to have occurred on the Irvine or Copley sides, and seem unlikely to be generic name choices. Coffey ancestral trees do include a Lloyd line marrying in, but that seems a distant relation for accounting for her own use of Lloyd. And none of those other surnames show in the Coffey lines, either.

It is not yet clear who in the family copied the family Bible pages shown here, and the deaths page remains missing. The pages are still held by direct descendants of Ann's son Henry Lloyd Irvine, who lived near his brother Alfred, in the D.C. area. Oddly, though, both brothers' marriages are omitted from the marriages page that stopped recording before theirs. It's possible that Henry Lloyd inherited the already-ripped-out pages from his single sister or brother who had died shortly after the last marriage date recorded.
