Good day, Fellow Listers,

I'm looking for information on the ancestry of a John Coffin, who was born
June 26, 1854 in Brownstown, Brown County, Indiana and died in Mt. Carmel,
Illinois May 21, 1915. He was a railroad engineer with the O&M Railroad.
John married Sarah (Sallie) Brown also of Brownstown, Indiana on August 7,
1881 at Vincennes, Indiana. They resided in Mt. Carmel Illinois.

John and Sallie had two children, Cora Bly Coffin and John Leon Coffin. John
Leon graduated from Staunton Military Academy, Virginia in 1915 and died in
Mt. Carmel June 11, 1923.

Any and all information pertaining to Coffins who might have been ancestors
of John would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help... Karen Herkes
