Coe m. Joseph
Kilbourne, Jr. are my 4 x great grandparents. Therefore, the name, "Sarah Ann
Coe" used by Marianne
Busher, is incorrect. Her name should have been "Mary
Coe".
Kilbourne,
Payne Kenyon, The History and Antiquities of the Name and Family of Kilbourn (in its varied orthography, :
Durrie &
Peck, New
Haven,
Connecticut (1856), p. 107:
" 80. JOSEPH, b. in
Litchfield, March 5, 1745 ; was married to Elizabeth
Marsh, daughter of Timothy
Marsh, Nov. 30, 1765, by Ebenezer
Marsh, J. P. He was admitted a freeman in
Litchfield, Sept. 9, 1769; was Highway Surveyor in 1772 ; appraiser on the estate of Barnias
Beach, in 1777 ; appraiser on estate of Zopher
Beach, in 1779. Elizabeth, his wife, died Oct. 15, 1777; and he subsequently married Mary
Coe, widow of Timothy
Marsh, Jr., (a brother of his first wife). Mr. K. was a soldier of the revolution, and in June, 1778, he was a prisoner. He removed with his family to
Wyoming,
Penn., in 1786, where he was subjected to many hardships and adversities—having been persecuted and imprisoned by the government of
Pennsylvania. In 1796, he settled in
Delaware,
Middlesex County,
Upper Canada, where he was for many years Town Clerk. He died in the latter place in September, 1807; Sarah, his widow, died in Detroit soon after.* "
Sarah Nott m. Timothy
Marsh, Sr. One of their children, Timothy
Marsh, Jr. m. Mary
Coe. Her parents seem to have been Thomas
Coe m. Abigail
Leaming. After Timothy's death, Mary married Joseph
Kilbourne, Jr. Joseph had been married to Elizabeth
Marsh, a sister of Timothy. Confusing is it not?
A daughter of Mary
Coe m. Joseph
Kilbourne, Jr., is Lucy
Kilbourne m. Isaac
Fairchild, my 3 x great grandparents.
Please note that the
Beach and
Fairchild families are also related over several generations. For example, Ruth
Beach m. Benjamin
Fairchild, the parents of Isaac
Fairchild. Thomas
Beach m. Joan Hill, are the 3 x great grandparents of Isaac
Fairchild.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone researching these families. Howard Ray Lawrence,
