There was a John Coe 1719-1782 who married Hannah Halstead and had a son, Halstead Coe 1760-1832. John T. >> Thank you, OK, here's the story. I am looking for verification that one Ruth Coe married one John Carpenter 1n 1735 as stated with no source mentioned in the Amos B. Carpenter book, <Carpenter Memorial> re. descendants of Wm of Rehoboth, MA. This book is great work, but seems to at the best telescope two generations into one. Have been looking for years for one small fragment of information to try to prove/disprove the above. The Carpenters as reported in the book were from Jamaica Long Island. It has been assumed that the Ruth Coe was also from there as there seems to be some connection between the Benjamin Coes and Carpenters re. the mill - partiners, perhaps.
