He was baptized at age 16, and soon fled to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania to avoid being drafted into the Confederate Army.〔Coffman, Barbara F. "Coffman, John S. (1848-1899)."

Heatwole. Over the course of their marriage, they had seven children. One of their children, Samuel F. Coffman was a significant church leader in his own right. They purchased a 30-acre farm on Gravelly Hill. Having returned to Virginia, he obtained a teaching certificate despite limited formal education and taught at several local schools. He was chosen by lot and ordained at Bank Church, a Mennonite Congreagation in Virginia. He also led singing schools in the area.〔
