Mac, My Susannah Martin was born c1649 and died 3-4-1726. She married William James 12-10-1677.Her parents were Joseph Martin b:c1629 and D:12-24-1704.Mother Mary Coggeshall B: 6-22-1628 D: 9-2-1707 I only show one daughter. I believe her parents were John Coggeshall ,married possibly to Mary Sturgis. Susannah and William James had 8 children. Joseph--William my ancestor --William died 1 yr.old--John--Benjamin--Content--Sarah--Rebeccah. William and Susannah were both interred in the Coddington Cemetery on Farewell St , Newport,R.I. Notes from FTM. SHE MARRIED AFTER WILLIAM DIED BUT WAS BURIED WITH WILLIAM AT CODDINGTON CEMETERY IN NEWPORT,R.I. THE GRAVESTONE IS STILL THERE. BURR MAR 7 1726.As you go thru the gate at the center of Farewell St,Newport,R.I.;her grave is off to the left near the top.I think William is buried in the same grave.Years ago both names were visible but in the 1990's kids wrecked the stones. I base my conclusion that Mary Coggeshall was her mother because in her fathers will dated 6-8-1704 and proved 2-12-1705,listed Daniel Coggeshall Kinsman sole Exec.which was also wit. by John Coggeshall,son of John C.,Dec.The will stated that Mary was an aunt to Daniel Coggeshall.Witnessed by John Cory,Jonathan Nichols and John Anthony.Daniel C. was the executor. Mary was listed in her grandmothers will as living on 4-16-1645. She was baptized at Castle Headingham,Kent,England 6-22-1628. Notes on William James BORN ABT. 1639-1650 ,NEWPORT R.I. DIED 1697 [VIT.

There is also a William James who around the same time married Rebeckah Easton born c1686--died 3 2 1730 ,prob.related to Gov.Easton.She had a son William also buried in the Coddington Cem in sect 36--died 4-21-1711 in his 7th month.There is also buried there other Eastons,John,James and others. I suspect our William and this William may have been cousins,which further makes me believe that our William's father was the William who was expelled from Salem Mass with Roger Williams,finally settling in Portsmouth,R.I.It would be logical that our Williams brother would honor his 1st born male with the name William.I don't know the name of this William's father.

Of the eight thousand four hundred and thirty-seven emails I have received via Rootsweb concerning Martin families during the past 10 days, I did not see anything resembling my Martin Family ie., Henry A, Martin b.1734,resided in Prince Georges Co, MD and died 1823 in Laurel Run WVA. Married Elizabeth Boswell In the Port Tobacco Parish in Charles Co. MD and had 9 children: Elizabeth Thomas Mela Michael Zephenia Nancy Ann Henry Susanna Need help finding Henry A.'s family etc etc. Any help would be appreciated(even 8437 emails would help). Thanks, Don Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman V.
