i am not related to the coffeen's, i am just tracing the lineage of my house. (i know, weird). but i have copies of of the 1857, 1864 & 1888 maps of my street, here in watertown and i have an m. or w. coffeen on the 1857 and a m. coffin on the 1888. also the 1855 directory lists:
coffeen, m. millwright. ridge, n. (of) east factory
goffeen, miss mahala, tailoress, b (below?)ridge, n. (of) east factory
this street was ridge in 1857, vincent in 1864, ridge in 1888 and today is east main. also, it wasnt always part of watertown. this was originally village of juhelville.
most of my information came from the flower library, except the 1855 directory, which is on-line.
we are almost positive IT IS NOT our house, but the one before it.
i have also listed names of other owners to my house i have been able to find.
hope this is useful to someone!
