Hi Joe -
Thanks! That's my Henry Coye the jeweller! "Tisbury" (not Tisburg - that's a misspelling) is effectively the same town as Vineyard Haven.
I've seen that census info, but it's nice to have his grandparents and great-grandparents. If you run into any additional info on this guy, please let me know!
I'll be posted what I know of him sooner or later at:

Chris
