I am not sure where to start truthfully. The census says that Susan and Elizabeth were born in Florida but John & Charlotte lived in Mo before coming to Florida - Susie lived with them in 1910 (perhaps she became a ward from family that lived in Mo but moved to florida and that is where she was born). Elizabeth was not listed living with the Coffins but later lived with Susan and her husband. This is a brick wall and I guess i was grasping at straws. THis is the census I was referring to: I have newspaper articles (but not with me here where I am emailing) about John Coffin in MO (He was orig from Mass). 1910 United States Federal Census Name: Susie Kemp Age in 1910: 17 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893 Birthplace: Florida Relation to Head of House: Ward Father's Birth Place: Florida Mother's Birth Place: Florida Home in 1910: Eustis, Lake, Florida Marital Status: Single Race: White Gender: Female Household Members: Name Age John A Coffin 56 Charlotte R Coffin 54 Francis Coffin 28 David T Coffin 26 Ruth Coffin 21 George W Coffin 17 Warren C Coffin 15 Susie Kemp 17, ward Ebben Looke 85, uncle Thanks Judie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
