Eleanor Rayl:
What you are writing is basically correct, but very hard to read and follow.
Abel, who md. Rhoda Gardner, does not belong in that gernation as he is the
son of Barnabas, who is the sibling of the William and of the Priscilla, who
are children of William & Priscilla Coffin, MA>NC in 1773..
Barnabas Coffin, s/o William & Priscilla, MA>NC in 1773, md. Phebe Marshall,
MA>NC in 1773:
Their children that also married HUNTs:
- Phebe Coffin md.Johnathan Hunt, son of John
- Stephen Coffin md. Rachel Hunt, dr of John
- Elizabeth Coffin md. Stephen Hunt, son of John
and then:
- Priscilla Coffin md. Himelius Mendenhall,
G-Grandson of John III & Margaret E. (Hunt) Beals,
belong to me and they are my GG-Grandparents!
It may be buried deep in my files, as did work them up once for some
descendents.
Can you identify John Hunt, the father of Johnathan, Rachel & Stephen.

I do have a paper with listings of the transfer of Certificates from
Nantucket MM>New Garden MM, 1771-1791.
I, too, am a Maris - Elizabeth Maris, Immagrant from England md. John
Mendenhall, Immagrant from England in PA..
