Michael: Thanks so much for the look-up! According to the information about Barnabas & Phebe (Marshall) Coffin's son Barnabas, Jr, as found in the 6 g-chart, which was published in "COFFIN FAMILY NEWSLETTER", August 1997, Volume XIII, No. 3, Whole No 51 (pp14 & 15): Barnabas Coffin, Jr. m. 1st, Sarah WHEELER. b. 1785, m 1806 - 8 children m. 2nd, Sophia FISLER, b. 1814, m. 1830, d. 1850 - children listed.. --- I translate your info from Crane Creek as: "Sarah WHEELER is the daugheter of John & Mary (Piggott) Wheeler". Barnabas Coffin Sr. transferred his Nantucket, MA certificate at New Garden, MM, Guiford Co., NC and then he & Phebe were listed in the formation of Deep Creek MM, where their children are listed -- and Barnabas Coffin, Sr. became Clerk of the QM or the YM, I believe (but then, I know only from genealogy studies, the structure of the Quaker Meetings.) WHEEKER: Just remember that my widowed 4G-Grandmother Mendnhall md.2ndly, the widower, Manlove WHEELER. I'll have to look at Deep Creek MM records. When I was there at the Deep River Meeting house for1999's Mendenhall Family Reuion, I found the Manlove Wheeler's (a widower with children by first wife) grave plots as I was looking for his 2nd wife, Mary (Kendall) Mendenhall . who is the widow of Elijah ; therefore, she is my 4G-Grandmother Mendenhall. We were unable to find Barnabas, Sr. & Phebe (Marshall) Coffins' graves, but we did find the grave of their grandson, Shubal Coffin, MD. QUESTION for the List: Does anyone know "the Barnabas Coffin owning a section of land in New Farmington, IN in the year 1816 (Quaker-1816)"??? New Farmington, IN is near Seymour, which is west of I- 65, on US-50, so probably in Jackson County? Their are other Coffins from NC>IN as well as those that migrated directly from Nantucket or elsewhere in the East. Thanks!

There is, or was, a marker at Deep River for "BC 8th Mo. 13, 1815." Since that matches Barnabas Coffin's date of death, I have always assumed that it was his. >Michael: > >Thanks so much for the look-up! > >According to the information about Barnabas & Phebe (Marshall) Coffin's son >Barnabas, Jr, as found in the 6 g-chart, which was published in "COFFIN >FAMILY NEWSLETTER", August 1997, Volume XIII, No. 3, Whole No 51 (pp14 & >15): > >Barnabas Coffin, Jr. > m. 1st, Sarah WHEELER. b. 1785, m 1806 - 8 children > m. 2nd, Sophia FISLER, b. 1814, m. 1830, d. 1850 - children listed.. >--- I translate your info from Crane Creek as: >"Sarah WHEELER is the daugheter of John & Mary (Piggott) Wheeler". > >Barnabas Coffin Sr. transferred his Nantucket, MA certificate at New Garden, >MM, Guiford Co., NC and then he & Phebe were listed in the formation of >Deep Creek MM, where their children are listed -- and Barnabas Coffin, Sr. >became Clerk of the QM or the YM, I believe (but then, I know only from >genealogy studies, the structure of the Quaker Meetings.) > > >WHEEKER: Just remember that my widowed 4G-Grandmother Mendnhall md.2ndly, >the widower, Manlove WHEELER.
