Content Overview:
The record traces the Coe lineage beginning with Robert Coe (b. 1596) and his wife Ann, noting that Burke's Heraldry places this family in Norfolk County, England. The family emigrated to America aboard the ship Frances in 1634, settling first in Watertown, Massachusetts, then Northfield (1635 or 1636), Stratford (1660), Jamaica (Long Island), and finally to Jamaica L.I. by 1662. A notation from 1903 identifies the Coe homestead as located in Long Melford, England.
