The Coffin Family

Many thanks to Anne Patten Oliver for sending the information on this page.

I have COFFINs in my family from Newfoundland. There were alot of people who left NFLD and went to New England because of the fishery business.

Researching PATTEN, ANTHONY, BENDLE, BUFFETT, COFFIN, FOOTE, FORSEY, HICKMAN, HOLLETT, NICHOLLE, RICE, ROSE, TIBBO, WELSH and WAREHAM in Grand Bank, Fortune, Rabbit's Arm (Robert's Arm), Friday's Bay & Haystack, Newfoundland, Canada; Jersey, The Channel Islands; England, Wales, and the World.

Here's a better look at my COFFIN family.  Be prepared for a long read, it's 26 pages and I only went 8 generations.  A bunch of it is the English side, so maybe you can find something interesting.

 

Kind regards, Anne

Notes for ROBERT COFFIN:

12-10-98

You probably noticed on the Project 21 page (where the Nfld 1921 census is

found) that there will soon be posted a list of subscribers to the Nfld

Church Society back in the 1850's and 1860's. So far they've posted just

one or two years for the communities in that interest us. I couldn't wait

longer and went to the Centre for Nfld Studies at our main university

library and viewed the whole thing on microfilm. There's not much new

there as far as the Coffins go, but I think we can further narrow down the

death date of Robert Coffin. He is listed every year for many years as a

subscriber in Haystack, including the year 1872. From 1873 on, it is Mrs.

Coffin who is listed. These June 30, 1873 subscriber report covers the

previous year 1872, so I think we can conclude that Robert died in late

1871 or early 1872.

You might also be interested to know that your gg-grandfather Samuel was

living in Spencer's Cove (just across the island from Haystack) during

1871, 1872, 1873 and 1874 (the last year of the reports). He had been

living in Haystack and listed as a subscriber there during all of the

1860's. Harriet is also listed with him in 1871, 1872, 1873, 1874. Also

listed as subscribers in Spencer's Cove are Adelaide Coffin (1871 and

1872), Anne E. Coffin (1872, 1873, 1874)---who would she be? They are not

listed in the regular church contribution lists for Haystack or Spencer's

Cove (separate contribution lists which I have) after 1874. Is that the

time they went to White Bay? Maybe by tracing the church contribution

records we can follow them around!
