      Hon. James Coffin, the fourth child of Tristram Coffin and Dionis Stevens, was born in England on August 12, 1640 and died July 28, 1720,[1] aged 80 years, in Nantucket, Massachusetts. He married Mary Severence, a daughter of John and Abigail Severance, of Salisbury, Massachusetts, on December 3, 1663.[2][3] "He came to Nantucket with the first settlers, but subsequently removed to Dover, N. H., where he resided in 1668, being a member of the church there in 1671, and the same year, May 31, he was there made freeman. Soon after this date, however, he returned to Nantucket and resided there until his death. He filled several important public offices at Nantucket, among them Judge of the Probate Court. The first records of the Probate Office are under his administration. He was the father of fourteen children, all of whom, except two, grew to maturity and married. From him have descended, perhaps, the most remarkable representatives of the Coffin family, as doubtless the most numerous and generally scattered. This branch furnished the families that remained loyal to Great Britain in the American Revolution, and General John Coffin, as well as his brother, Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, rendered valiant service against the Colonies, for which they received in time their rewards, two sons of Gen. John now holding Admiral's commissions in the Royal Navy, one aged 88 and the other 84 years, both hale and hearty' when last heard from. The most distinguished woman which America has produced, Lucretia Mott, was also descended from this line, her father, Thomas Coffin, being the 17th child of Benjamin, and not the youngest, either. "[4]

      In the early 1700's, Hon. James Coffin was the Chief Magistrate on the Island of Nantucket. His eldest son James, must have in some part helped his father manage his land holdings and businesses. It's known that James Sr. had trading sloops going back and forth from the mainland. These sloops would have needed crews of up to ten men, depending on the size. Wool and whale oil would most likely have been the exports.
