He changed his name to Thomas Coburn and lived in Vermont. I have not been able to find any further information on this man and his wife. I welcome comments on this family line. I will post only proven facts (birth, marriage or death certificates, ship records, deed, census information ect..) I do not believe in guessing but post only facts that can be proven. I do, however, welcome all comments. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
