The General John Coffee Collection consists of copies of correspondence and pay vouchers that were obtained at the National Archives from various files by Dan Wallace of Cypress Inn, Tennessee in the early 1990s. The Coffee papers are from approximately 1803-1817 and provide information on the foundation of Florence, Alabama, and General John Coffee’s military conquests.
In the Andrew Jackson Papers, the Library of Congress houses additional digitized copies of the original correspondences between Brigadier General John Coffee and General Andrew Jackson. The collection can be accessed here.
