Birth*1782 Abram Bitcher was born in 1782.1 
Marriage*1803 He married Mary "Polly" Coffinberry, daughter of George Lewis Coffinberry and Elizabeth Kline-Little, in 1803 "She married a Swiss by the name of Abram Bitcher. At this time the name Bitcher was pronounced Pitcher; but a generation or so later it was changed to Beecher, which descendants now bear."
     Besides Elizabeth, the author thinks "... that the names which follow are those of the children of Marry Coffinberry - Abram, George, Burke, Gilruth, Jane, Eliza, Sarah Lucinda".
