FAMILY OF COFFIN COLKET.
Tristram Coffin Coleord was born in Epping, New Hampshire, October 15th, 1809, and died in Philadel- phia, April 5th, 1883. He was the first of his name in Philadelphia, coming here about 1830. He was asso- ciated with many corporations during his life, and at the time of his death was President of the Philadelphia City Passenger Railway Company, the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad Company and the Chestnut Hill Railroad Company.
After coming to Philadelphia he dropped the name of Tristram and spelled his surname Colket, conforming to the usual pronunciation.
He was therefore known in Philadelphia business cir- cles as Coffin Colket. He married, March 21, 1839, Mary Pennypacker Walker, b. in Chester County, Pa., Sept. 3, 1819. He left four sons and three daughters. His widow died November 15, 1889.

Family of Coffin Colket.
The "Essex Antiquarian " (May number, 1900) gives wife of Samuel Coleord as Mary, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Hutchins) Ayer.
Elizabeth Hutchins was a daughter of John and Frances Hutchins, of Newbury. (Family Papers.)
" History of Newbury " gives Elizabeth among chil- dren of John and Frances Hutchins.
Frances was once presented at court for wearing a silk hood, but was discharged " upon testimony of her being brought up above the ordinary ranke." (" History of Newbury," page 58.) The law permitted those only who were worth two hundred pounds to wear " a silk hood and scarfe." This was probably intended to ac- complish the same end as the rule laid down by the Quakers that Friends shall " be careful to live within the bounds of their circumstances."
John Hutchins died February 6th, 1685-6; his widow, Frances, April 5th, 1694.
CHAPTER XXXV.
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
The blood of more than one of the pioneers of Nan- tucket flowed in the veins of the poet Whittier.
The descent from Christopher Hussey, which was a tradition of the Whittier family, and was believed by the poet himself, appears upon late investigation to be without foundation.
His ancestry has been traced to Richard Hussey, who possibly was a descendant of Christopher, but this is not probable. Thomas Whittier, the progenitor of the Whittier family, came from Wiltshire, England, in 1638, settled at Newbury, afterwards removed to Salis- bury, thence to Haverhill. He married Ruth Green, a relative of John Rolfe, who was associated with the proprietors of Nantucket, and with Thomas Whittier came to America in the ship Confidence.
Henry Rolfe, brother of John, in his will, dated " 15th 12th 1642," gave his " kinsman Thomas Whit- tier a swarme of bees."

CHAPTER XXXVI.
THE NATHAN BUNKER FAMILY.
This family was of Huguenot origin. The name for- merly was Bon Cœur.
George Bunker, son of William, was drowned May 26th, 1658, at Topsfield, Mass., leaving a widow, Jane Godfrey Bunker, and several children. She married Richard Swain, and they removed to Nantucket, where have lived many Bunker descendants.
Nathan Bunker 2 of the prominent shipping firm of Lea & Bunker, who owned a large amount of shipping in Philadelphia at the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury, was married, 1812, after the manner of Friends, to Elizabeth Thorne Clement, associating this branch with many families of Long Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The Nathan Bunker line here given is accepted by many of the family. A question was raised concern- ing Nathan Bunker's 2 father, Nathan Bunker, and a theory advanced that Nathan 2 was son of William, but search in the Bunker MS. at Nantucket has disproved this, as by it one son only is attributed to William Bun- ker, and he died unmarried.
The children of Nathan Bunker and Elizabeth Thorne Clement were:
Hannah C. Bunker, who married James W. Paul, of Philadelphia, and three sisters, who married respec- tively Rear-Admiral Dahlgren, Amos Taylor and Hon. S. Abbott Lawrence, of Boston.
