> Looking for a Lydia Coffin who is listed in a family Bible. Not sure if this is her married name or maiden name. She died 19 July 1869 in MA. She was the grandmother of Charles Lincoln AYLING of Centerville (Cape Cod), MA. I think she was married to John Hurley in 1762, maybe had a son, Augustus (?) or some other name, who married Mary Park, and they had a daughter, Margaret Cecelia HURLEY, who married William Ayling 28 Aug 1839, Boston, MA.

> Information from the Centerville Historical Society Museum indicates that Margaret C. HURLEY was born in Nantucket, MA. Any help much appreciated on these Coffins. Sorry I don't have more to go on at this point. Carol

Hi Carol,

I don't have any confirmation of this, but this is what appears in
"The Coffin Family" of Louis Coffin, which is known to have errors,
but you can use it for clues. Also, I know I left out, at least one
line. Hope this helps for now. I began having cross eyed confusion
as the lines came apart and back together again. So, I'm hoping
where I put the astericks is your lines. That was the idea. You
will have to check me on that, because I'm too confused by now. All
I know is that I checked for typos and dates, etc. So, the data
I have down is what Louis Coffin gives. Anyway, try it and see if
it works. You can crawl the web yourself. Even the dates are a bit
different from yours, but the couple of John HURLEY and Lydia
COFFIN are there, at the bottom. Start at the end, and work up.
