I believe you mean Worcester (pronounced wusster), Ma. Please let me know what other information you have on this. I am researching Abigail COE (daughter of Robert COE) who married William FURMAN in 1739 in Newtown, LI, NY. and Phoebe COE, b. 1772 and married Aaron FURMAN about1792, also Newtown, LI, NY. Thank you. Stephen >> Dear Stephen, Unfortunately I have no further information on the wrench company or the Coes. I just thought is was interesting to buy the wrenches! I know that Robert Coe had sons who did not go to NY, so guess that the co. is from those descendants. I am aware of the Furman name above. The AB Carpenter book states that John Carpenter married Ruth Coe in 1735 and one of their sons was my ancestor Moses Carpenter. He further states that Ruth married a Mr. Thurston after John Carpenter died and she must have taken the family records with here. There were Coes in Orange Co became Rockland at that time, but I have not made any connection. The only connecting link I can see (now) is there was a Coe Gale and the Gales married into the Carpenter family. I have not found a connection with the Thurston family and have wondered if he meant Firman, or what??? I see quite a few Firmans, Furmans in NJ. There was also a Moses Higby in Or. Co. and they are related to the Coes. One of the Coes also was in Rye NY. I had the NY wills CD, but seem to have misplaced it. I also copied some of the Coe wills. My biggest problem , is a common problem, shortage of time! I was out of state for 4 months this year plus had a sick husband when here. No Christmas!! I am going to print and keep you e-mail with my Coe files and when I get back to "organizing" them, I can check deeper. Regards, Phoebe
