Tribute to those who have done the work.

I would like to thank the people who have put together so much of the family history. Without the suitcase mum had with the items Bev, Shirley, Daphney and Uncles and Aunties (also the things mum had collected herself) my interest would not have built as great as it has. Now with the Book Pam gave me to use done by her late husband Kenneth Treanor I have a lot of information to get through.
Also Waka and Paddy Coffin, Jan, and the ongoing help that Bev has given me, this site will be the most informative Coffin family site it can be.
I am aware that the work those who did before my time was harder, more foot work postage and photo copies. Now I often just have to look up a name and somethings comes up online.
I Take great care a respect to put this information together. We are lucky to have a rich historical family, that has carried on into this country. The stories are sad at times but each has shown me great character that my ancestors had. They were pioneers, war heroes, hard working salt of the land type people. They had their fare share of bad luck, loss and hardship. But they were often well known and highly thought of in their communities.
Doing this, I will do my best to make it interesting. I want it to be full of information and also images and stories. Kenneth has shown me how to do that with his work. I wish I could have met him and talked about it..

Tristram Coffin until us.(draft, work in progress)


Generation Fourteen

Tristam Coffin - Brixton England, Salsbury, Newbury, Nantucket Mass Jan 4 1628, Will of his Uncle John (proved Apr. 3 1628) He makes Tristam an executor and gives legacies to Tristams sisters. 1642 - He and his wife, five children, two sisters and his mother, sailed from England this year and at first made settlement at Salisbury Mass. His brother John had before this died at Plymouth Fort England. Nov. 15 1642 - He, with others, received a deed from Passaquo and Saggahew, of their lands at Petucket (Haverhill) several miles square for the sum 3 pounds 10 s. The Indians made their mark by representations of bows and arrows, 1644 - He ' is allowed to keep an Ordinary, sell wine and keep a ferry on the Newbury side', ect (Merrimack River) Dec 26 1647 - same order passed. He had the Newbury side and George Carr the Salisbury side. Sept 1653 - His wife, Dionis was presented for selling beer at his ordinary for 3 pence a quart. She proved upon testimony that she put 6 bushels of malt into the hogshead, and she was accordingly discharged. The law provided that inkeepers should, 'always be provided with good wholesome beer of 4 bushels of malt to the hogshead' to be sold not above 2 pence per quart, under penalty of 40 shillings for the first offense and loss of license for the next. As Dionis kept the proportion good she was not li able for the fine. Haverhill, Newbury, and Salisbury were successively habitations of Tristam until he went to Nantucket. July 2 1659 - He and eight others received the deed to Nantucket from Thomas Mayhew for 30 pounds, 'and also 2 beaver hatts, one for myself, and one for my wife.'as Mayhew declares in his deed. The latter retained a share in the island. Oct 10 1659 - He and sons Peter, Tristam Jr and James bought Tiuckemut Island for 6 pounds from Thomas Mayhew. July 15 1661 - He had his house lot laid out un a meeting of proprietors of 60 rods square, at Cappamet Harbor. *June 29 1671 - Appointed Chief Magistrate of Nantucket by Gov Lovelace of New York. The same date, he and others received a deed from Wanackmamack head Sachem of Nantucket of lands and privileges for 40 pounds. Sept 9 1677 - Appointed Chief Magistrate of Nantucket by Edmund Andros Governor Andros. The same year he conveyed to son Stephen, a house and a large amount of real estate; his son on his part to 'be helpful to me and his mother in our old age and sickn ess what he can ' To his daughter Mary and her husband Nathaniel Starbuck, he had deeded half of his estate some years previously; but acknowledged this year. The following year he gave his son John a new dwelling house, and to each grandchild 10 acres to plant upon the island of Tuckernuck. Nov 29 1681 - Administrration granted on his estate to sons John, James, Stephen; they giving a bond of 100 pounds. Aug 8 1682 - Inventory presented, the Court ordered use of the estate to his widow, for her life. This family was Tristram and Dionis Coffyn from Devon, England. The civil war in England at the time forced Tristram to come to America in 1642. He was a royalist. A planter, Tristram and his family arrived in Newburyport in late summer 1642 having sailed on the 'Hector' owned by Robert Clement out of Plymouth.  He was a blacksmith in Haverhill with his son John for a while until his death. He always spelled his name Coffyn.
He married Dionis Stevens (1609-1676) in 1630. Pioneer of Nantucket with his wife, mother and two unmarried sisters. He was considered by many as the Patriarch of Nantucket with most people who come from the Island can trace their lineage back to him.
