Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gatherings Toward a Genealogy of the Coffin Family
AT the anniversary meeting of the Coffin family at Nantucket in 1881 a committee on genealogy was appointed. Nothing has yet been heard from the committee, and probably nothing ever will be heard from it. Meanwhile I have made such extensive gatherings concerning the branch of the family which remained at N ewbury, that I have determined to print them for preservation, and as a help to him who shall ever undertake a complete genealogy of the family. I will not assert that this record is free from mistakes, but they certainly are very few indeed. I have had the benefit of an examination of the papers of the late Joshua Coffin, which helped me much. From the papers of the late Thomas Coffin Amory I have also learned some facts relating to the Boston branch.
