The Vanceboro Beers clan began when George Edward Beers (25 Mar 1844 – 1 Sep 1941) emigrated from Coal Branch, New Brunswick, in 1872.

He married Anna E. Coffron (Mar 1858 – 1 Oct 1934) of St. Stephens, NB, in 1879 and they produced five children:  Mable (1880);  Bertha (1882);   Horace (1884);  Thomas (1886); and  Walter (1888).

George worked on the old New Brunswick Railway as car inspector, later for the Canadian Pacific and Maine Central Railroads. He also was an expert stone mason, building many stone foundations and splitting granite for the McAdam Junction station.

When Anna Coffron was born about 1858, in Saint Stephen, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada, her father, Harrison Coffron, was 28 and her mother, Catherine Tree, was 24.
