In respect to Barnabas Coffin Jr, researched data appears to be sparse. Indiana records indicate the following Blue River MM, Washington co,IN 25 Jun 1816 - Barnabas & wife Sarah & ch Rachel, Samuel, & John rocf Deep River MM,NC 3 Aug 1816 - Sarah Coffin appointed Clerk of Women's Mtg Gene.Records show Barnabas Jr b.28 Oct 1785, son of Barnabas & Phebe Sarah (Wheeler), b.5 Oct 1785, dau of John & Rachel Driftwood MM set off from Blue River MM,IN in 1820 Driftwood MM, Jackson co,IN Barnabas Coffin Jr a Charter Member in 1820 13 Dec 1823 Barnabas gct Whitewater MM Gene.Records show Barnabas & Sarah (no dates) shows 3 surviving children born in NC & 4 ch born in Indiana although attributed to birth in NC last child Sarah bur.10 Jul 1820, Driftwood cem; earlier ch Phebe & Barnabas were bur. Blue River cem Whitewater MM, Wayne co,IN 17 Jan 1824 Barnabas received from Driftwood MM; [endorsed to Chester MM] 17 Jan 1824 Sarah received from Driftwood MM; [endorsed to Chester MM] Chester MM set off from Whitewater MM,IN in 1823 Chester MM, Wayne co,IN 30 Nov 1823 - Rachel Coffin, dau of Barnabas, decd, & Sarah married Brantley Stafford at Chester MH 26 Aug 1842 - Lydia Esther Coffin, dau of Barnabas, decd, & Sarah, maried Samuel Knight at Chester MH 25 Jun 1828 - Sarah Coffin, widow, of Wayne co,IN, dau of Daniel (sic) & Rachel, decd, married Daniel Votaw, of Wayne co,IN, son of Isaac, decd, & Ann, of Columbiana co,OH, at Chester MH in 1831 - Daniel Votaw & wife Sarah & 4 Votaw children, & John W Coffin, Lydia Esther Coffin, & Beulah Hunt on membership list Gene.Records show Barnabas Coffin (no dates) Sarah (Votaw) b.5 Oct 1785, dau of John & Rachel Wheeler 3 ch: Rachel Stafford, John W Coffin, Lydia Esther Coffin It would appear from the evidence that Barnabas Coffin Jr likely died in Wayne co,IN in Nov 1823. Those researchers showing him marrying 2ndly in 1830 are in error. His widow Sarah Wheeler remarried in 1828 to Daniel Votaw, whose 1st wife had died in 1827. Daniel Votaw & Sarah Wheeler had 1 child Sarah B Votaw, b.14 May 1829; d.24 Jul 1829;bur at Chester. For Violet Moore Guy, this individual Barnabas Coffin Jr is clearly the man who owned land in Jackson co,IN in 1816.
