Some immigrated to Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and other New England and Mid-Atlantic states in the 1600s. Some focus is on (but not limited to) families related to Trystam Coffin, who was born in 1605 at Brixton, Devonshire, England. Tristam married Dionis Stevens ca. 1629. In 1642, they immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts. In the 1700s, some Coffins settled in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island (Canada), and in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and South Carolina. During the 1800s, some moved to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and elsewhere. Some were Quakers. Information was extracted or transcribed from Bible records, deeds, land records, wills, and other record sources for the 1600s to the present.
