Here at Earlham we have Aaron Coffin's account book/diary. According to
introductory material added by Willard Heiss, Aaron was married twice,
first to Mary Barnard and second to Sarah Hussey. The marriage to Sarah in
1812 is confirmed by both Aaron's diary and the New Garden MM records which
show Aaron and Sarah married on 7th Mo. 29, 1812.
