> My Great Grand Uncle Henry Matthew Behm lived in Maries county with his wife
> Bertha and brother John Behm (Behm, Bëhm, Böhm). Their son Francis married
> Elizabeth Coffey, daughter of Hiram Kinzey Coffey.
>
>> >From what I have been able to piece together, Hiram was the sone of Campbell
> Coffey and Caroline Eads, d. of Benjamin Eads. Hiram also had a sister named
> Mary who married W. N. Copeland.
>
>> >From what I can see the Eads and Copeland families open up a large part of
> Maries County! Is anyone actively working on these connections? I have info
> on the Behm's back to Bohemia and their early arrival in St. Louis.

>
> As a second item to solve an arguement with my wife is Maries pronounced
> Marys or Maries?
