We have a family legend that says Ursula von Peterhof, daughter of a wealthy man in Germany, perhaps Brandenburg, fell in love with and ran away with the coachman, named Roop or Rupp. The legend does not give him a first name.They came to America and settled in Pennsylvania.Their grandson, according to the legend, is my great-grandfather, Joseph Coffman or Kaufman.As of this time, I have no direct information on his ancestry but these names seem to be too close to be coincidental.Is there anything to the legend and, if so, does anyone know the name of the daughter of Ursula Roop/Rupp and the name of the daughter's husband? Any help would be deeply appreciated.Thanks.
