1657. The jury at Hartford, in the case of Rose rs. Robins, June 5, 1646, found six bushels of corn forfeited by Codman ; Jo. Lord, two bushels; Mr. Eauens, forty-eight bushels, &c .; probably the same name and man. Codman, at Hartford, 1646.
CODNER, EDWARD, is first found in New London, in 1651, a grantee of land there. It also appears by Miss Caulkins, p. 145, he was in N. L. in 1664, and applied to remain there. In 1691 there was a path in N. L. called the " Codner highway," or " old path- way from the meeting-house to the mill." Lawrence Codner was of N. L. in 1704, and was there as early as 1664.

There were 51 persons in Stamford, the first year. They pur- chased the Indian title before they purchased of the New Haven com- pany.
NOTE .- COE, ROB'T, was born in Suffolkshire, England, in 1596. His wife Anna was born in 1591, in England. Their children named were John, b. in 1626 ; Robert, b. in 1627 ; Benj'n, b. in 1629. They sailed from Ipswich, Suffolkshire, England, April 10, 1634, in the Francis, John Cutting, master, (in company with 84 others,) and arrived in Boston in June after. Rob- ert Coe and others of the crew, firstly settled in Watertown, Mass., where lie remained about two years. At the first court held in Conn., at " Newton," (Hartford,) April 26, 1636, " Andrew Warde, Jo: Sherman, Jo: Stickland, Rob'te Coo, Rob'te Reynold and Jonas Weede," appeared before the court and produced their certificate of dismission granted by the church of Water- town, Mass., dated 29 of Ma[ ] last, to form anew in a church covenant " on this River of Con- ectecott," which certificate was received and approved by the court, and the before named per- sons settled at Wethersfield, Conn., where six parcels of land stood recorded to Robert Coe in 1641, where they continued about four years, during which time a trouble arose in the church, which it was found difficult to settle, even under the council of Mr. Davenport ; he therefore advised one of the contending parties to make a new settlement. Accordingly, the leaving party purchased Rippowams, (Stamford,) Oct. 30, 1640, of the New Haven colony, and removed to Rippowams in 1641 ; (see Note, p. 232, ante,) and the first vote upon the purchase of the plant- ation by the proprietors, was at a town-meeting held at Stamford in 1641, when the following vote was passed to pay N. Haven, at least in part, for the purchase of the town, viz .: "Whereas

COFFUR ? SEABORN, is noticed by Rowland, of [Windsor, in his list of the number of children in each family in Windsor, between 1639 and 1681, as having one child, and no other account is found concerning him. (Perhaps Cotton.)
the purchase of the place and viewing of it, was first done by our friends of New llaven, and we stand indebted to them for it. It is ordered, that one hundred bushels of corn, at three shil- lings a bushel, be paid towards it, when raised, and sent them as followeth, by Mathew Mitchell, viz." lIere follow the names of the proprietors, one of which is the name of Robert Coe, and twenty others, which can be read upon the record of Stamford. However, nine of the names of the thirty can not be deciphered, being lost, and to each name is attached his proportion of corn to be paid. Coe's share was four bushels and one peck. Mr. Coe continued at Stamford until Rev. Richard Denton removed to Hempstead, L. I. in 1644. Ile then with his sons Robert, John and Benjamin, went to JIempstead. At this time Robert, Sen., was about 48 years old, his eldest son John about 18 years, Robert, Jun., about 17, and Benjamin about 15 years old. Mr. Rob't Coe and Capt. John Coe, the first of Jamaica and John from Newtown, L. I., were appointed by their respective towns to attend the court at Hartford, (see Col. Rcc. of Conn., printed vol., p. 425,) May 12, 1664. Same session, the Gen. Court appointed Mr. Robert Coe a commissioner for "Jamnaicoe," L. I., and Capt. John Coe a commissioner for Newtown, L. I.
At the Gen. Court of Conn., May 11, 1665, it was ordered by said court that the villages of Ilastings and Rye should be "for the future, conioyned and make one plantation, and that it shall be called by the appellation of Rye." The lands of this township were purchased of the proprietors, by Peter Disbrow, John Coe, Thomas Studwell, and John Budd, in 1660, '61 and '62, and by them conveyed to Samuel Allen, Rich'd Lowe and five other planters. (See Col. Rec. and Note, vol. 2, pp. 15, 16 ; also, Bolton's Hist. Westchester Co.)
At the Gen. Court of Conn., Oet. 14, 1669, the court was informed that the people of Rye had no orthodox minister, and did not take due care to procure one, to carry on "the worke of the Lord on the Sabbath and instruet them," &c., but seemed to rest satisfied without " in the im- prouement of John Coe and Marmaduke Smith," who had been represented to the court " as per- sons unsownd and heterodox in their judgments," &c .; therefore the court impowered Mr. Na- than Gold and any three of the Commiss'rs of that county, to require said Coe and Smith, or " any others of that towne to appear before them," and if the facts should appear to them, as had been represented to the court, to give them no opportunity "to sowe the seeds of error among the people there." Also to inform the people of Rye, that the court were resolved, if the said people's prudent consideration did not move them to provide "a suitable person, sownd and orthodox in his principles, and apt to teach," and approved by Mr. Bishop, of Stamford, Mr. Hanford, of Norwalk, Mr. Eliphalet Joanes, of Fairfield, and Mr. Wakeman, that the court would procure and settle a minister among them, and take sufficient order that he should be maintained by them. It appears by these facts that John Coe resided at Rye in 1669, and being a leading man there, was selected by the court to whip into their traces, expecting the other inhabitants of Rye would follow Coe and Smith's example.
Jolın Coe was rated 12s. among the 55 persons taxed at Middlebury, L. J., in 1656, four years after the first settlement there " on Indian rate." Robert Coe was taxed £4, on the same rate, land rated at Is. an acre. (Riker's Annals of .Vewtown, p. 43.) John Coe had a flouring mill, at the mouth of Ilorse Brook in 1653. Edward Jessup applied to the council in 1657 for land to build another mill, not however to the injury of Mr. Coe's mill. In 1660, Capt. Coe indicted a man for taking corn from his mill ; the culprit after being made to make amends to Capt. Coe, was sentenced " to walk from Mr. Doughty's house, with two rods under cach arm, and the drum beating before him, until he comes to Mr. Jessup's house, and then he is to have his liberty," &c., (p. 48.)

COGGIN, JOHN, a defendant in court at Hartford, in favor of Mathew Allen, in Sept., 1641 ; £20 damages and costs. He was also plaintiff' against Allen, 1641. He was in Hartford in 1640.
In 1655, Mr. Coe was a magistrate. Capt. John was a warm advocate for an alliance of the people of Middleburg with Connecticut, and sent a letter upon the subject to the Gen. Court of Conn., by James Christie, &c. Capt. Talcott, when he arrived in Hartford, engaged Christie to visit Flushing, Hempstead and Jamaica, " to try if the inhabitants were favorably inclined to- wards the gov'r of Hartford." Christie returned to Middleburg, and in the absence of Director Stuyvesant, who had gone to Boston, Christie went with two others to Gravesend, with a " sim- ple commission signed Coe," and a copy of Capt. Talcott's letter. The people being called to- gether, Christie produced his letters and informed the people they were no longer subject to the Dutch gov't, but to that of Hartford. Nicholas Stillwell doubted the fact, and arrested Christie and his papers, and informed the council, who dispatched a serg't and eight men to convey Christie to Fort Amsterdam, &c. (Riker, pp. 556, 557, &c.)
Coe, Christie, Panton, Waters and others, Richard Mills, the school-master, aided the revolt at Westchester, where Mills was a magistrate. The affair of Stuyvesant with Conn., Westchester and on Long Island, is rich in the history of the first settlement of Long Island and Westchester. James Christie and others were made freemen in Conn. John Coe and Richard Betts repre- sented Hastings to attend the convention at Hempstead, L. I., Feb. 28, 1665. In 1666, '67, new style, a patent was granted by Gov. Richard Nicoll to John Coe, Capt. Thomas Lawrence, and the other inhabitants of Newtown, L. I., as patentees of said Newtown, in confirmation of their previous title. John Coe was also named as one of the patentees and inhabitants of Newtown by Thomas Dongan, in his confirmation of the title of Newtown, Nov. 25, 1686. (Riker.) John Coe was chosen sheriff of Queen's co., L. I. and commissioned by Leisler. (Riker, p. 117.) Jolın Coe was one of Leisler's council. Leisler and Milborne, with all their loyalty, were con- demned and executed. Coe was imprisoned, but escaped. (Rec. Hist. of N.) John, Robert, Jonathan and David Coe were all signers of the petition to his excellency, Edward Viscount Cornbury, her majesty's captain-general and governor-in-chief of the province of New-York, &c. in behalf of the freeholders of Newtown, in Queen's co., on the island of Nassau. John Coe also held the office of judge, and was one of the leading men on Long Island:
Benjamin Coe, the youngest son of Robert, Sen., was a farmer ; while Robert, Sen., and his son John were important men, and most of their lives while upon Long Island, in some impor- tant public employment. Robert, Sen , left " Heemstede" after a few years'residence there ; he became a pioneer in the settlement of Middleburg, about 1651-2.
At the first meeting of the first English settlers at Middleburg, Robert Coe and Richard Gilder- sleeve, both of whom had resided at Wethersfield and Stamford, were confirmed, with Hazard, in the office of first magistrates of the town. Robert Coe and Edward Jessup, were sent from Middleburg, and a delegation from Hempstead, to propound to "the Honorable Commissioners" then in session at Boston, questions which agitated the public mind, (Riker, p. 31, 32,) and re- quested protection from N. England. Robert Coe and Tho's Ilazard were delegates from Mid- dleburg, and met the burgomasters of New Amsterdam at the City Hall, Nov. 25, 1653. Robert Coe held the office of ensign of a company of soldiers under Capt. Titus, to sustain Lieut. Gov. Leisler in the military force of the province, and were by him commissioned in their new offi- ces. (Riker, p. 118.) Robert signed the petition with his son John to his excellency, E. Vis- count Cornbury, Capt. Gen. and Gov. of the province of New York in 1703. Aug. 20, 1720, Robert Coe was appointed with others, a committee to examine the accounts for eight years preceding, of the trustees of the place, &c.
Few of the original settlers of Conn., who removed to Long Island, held a more exalted rank with the first English settlers upon the island, than Hon Robert and his son John Coe.

John, son of John and Elizabeth Coggen, of Woburn, March 10, 1693 ; also, Henry, their son, d. 1694. (See His. Reg.) This name is not now in Conn.
John Cogan was an early settler in Dorchester, and probably came to Windsor in the first settlement of the town, or soon after, as he was in court at Hartford in 1641 and 1646, though he either left Wind- sor within a few years, or died. In 1635, John Cogan, Wolcott, Telley and Pinney, had a case of some importance referred to arbi- tration at Dorchester. He was probably the John Coggin first named above, and grantce of Dorchester.
Mr. Hallett of Flushing, in May, 1664, were appointed by their respective towns on L. I., to at- tend the court in Conn. The same session of said Gen. Court, Mr. Robert Coe and Mr. Thomas Benedict' were appointed commissioners for Jamaica, L. I., and Capt. John Coe and Richard Betts, commissioners for Newtown.
While Benjamin, the second son of Robert, Sen., b. 1629, was quietly seated upon his farm at Jamaica, L. I., his father and his brother John were figuring in the affairs of government in public life. Robert Coe, Jun., the third son of Robert, Sen., b. 1627, removed from L. I. about 1654, to Stratford, Conn., where he was a farmer, and neighbor of Mr. Sherman, who had re- moved there from Stamford. Ile m. Susanna, and by her had three children, who were living at his decease, at Stratford, in 1659, aged 32 years. After his decease his relict m. Nicholas Elsy, or Ellery, of New Ilaven. Ilis three children, John, Susannah and Sarah, are named in the settlement of his estate on the probate record of Fairfield, From this branch are descended most of the Coes of Conn. Some of the descendants of Benjamin Coe settled in New Jersey, where the name is yet found. Susannah, the widow of Robert, of Stratford, presented the in- ventory of the estate of her late husband, Oct. 20, 1659, being £179, 18s. distributed to his son John, Susanna and Sarah, each £35, and the remainder to his widow. Josua and Jeremie Jud- son, Henry Wakley and Richard Boothe, appraisers.
Robert, Sen., of Wethersfield, was one of the thirty families who settled Stamford, and is one of the twenty names now found there recorded of the thirty who first purchased Rippowams, Oct. 30, 1640, and removed there in 1641, on condition that Rev. Richard Denton was to re- move there by March, 1641-2, and the settlers by Nov., 1641.
COE, COOE, ROBERT, had six tracts of land recorded at Wethersfield in 1641.

GENEALOGY OF THE PURITANS.
COGSWELL, COGGSWELL, COGSWEL, ROBERT or JOHN, was an original settler of New Haven, and a signer of the fundamental agreement made there in 1639; and in 1643, he is found in Lambert's list of families and estates in New Haven, with four persons in his family, and an estate of £60. Whether Mr. Sam- uel Coggswell, of Saybrook, was one of the four of this family; in 1643, I have no evidence.
COGSWELL, MR. SAMUEL, was a farmer at Saybrook about 1665. Who was his father, or whence he came, the record does not show. He was unm. when he came to Saybrook, and m. Susan- nah -- , Oct. 27, 166S. Her name is so badly written and blotted, it is impossible to decipher her entire name. (Mr. Nash says Hearn.) She was probably a Wastall. John Wastall, a first settler there. On a page or two after the Coggswell family, is found the will of John Wastall, and Susannah, his wife; they being advanced in years and childless, he made John Cortland [Kirtland] sole heir to his estate. Mr. Coggswell calls one of his sons Wastall. By his calling his first son Wastall, perhaps, for it is only conjecture, he might have m. Wastall's sister; who she was is in doubt. They had chil- dren born at Saybrook, viz .:
1. Hannah, b. June 4, 1670 ; m. Josiah Dibble, 1691-2, and had a child born there.
2. Susannah, b. Nov. 23, 1672.

COGGSWELL, SAMUEL, SEN., was presented to the Gen. Court for a freeman from Saybrook, in May, 1669, and at the same ses- sion was appointed commissioner for that town.
