NOTE .- In recorded dates we often find two years given,-i.e., 1637-38. In what was known as old style, the year began March 25, and when the new or present style was adopted many were not pleased with the innovation; recorders therefore accommo- dated themselves to the caprice of the people, and gave the date in accordance with both methods. This will account for any dis- crepancy covering not more than three months.
NOTE .- William C. Folger, whose MSS. are here quoted, was Corresponding Member of the New England Genealogical So- ciety, and prepared a number of Nantucket Genealogical notes for Savage.

APPENDIX II.
The break in the records connecting the early Norman Coffins with Tristram Coffin's family has never been satisfactorily filled, and much time and money has already been expended in the effort to do this; it is not likely that it will be accomplished unless some new place of abode of this family is discovered which may present new records and information. The country in which they were known to have lived has been thoroughly looked over, and its records exhaustively examined. The genealogical table following is the earliest data in direct line of which there is absolute record.
The following extracts from The Exeter District Probate Reg- istry are offered as evidence that Tristram Coffin had more edu- eation than many of his contemporaries:
" 1628 April 3 The Will dated 4 January 1627-S of John Coffin of Brixton Devon was proved in the court of the adn of Totnes.
The Testator gave to the Poor of Brixton 10/ ---
Joan, Deborah, Eunice, and Mary Coffin 20/- each at 12 years old.
Mathue Simnell 10/-
John Coffin £10 at 12
Tristram Coffin all residue, and he apptd him Executor.
" The testator made his mark and the Will was sealed in the presence of
Hennery Tammas *Maethal Simnell

"The answers of the two witnesses to the inter- rogatories administered on the part of the promo- ters of the suit go to show
"THAT the testator and Martha Simnell could read but not write, that Henry Thomas could neither read nor write and that Tristram Coffin could do both. THAT the Will was written by Tristram on a certain Friday evening in an upper chamber of the testators house where he (the testator) was lying sick. THAT the Will was read by testator himself and sealed by him with a key and that he and the witnesses made their marks and that all their names were written by Tristram, THAT the reason why the Will was written by Tristram was that there was no one else present who could write and that he could not get any other to write it, as the sickness was very infec- tious. THAT the allegation was that two or three days before New Years Day then last past John Coffin the testator instructed Tristram to make his Will and told him that Nicholas Coffin his (testa- tor) brother's son should be Executor, and that in- stead of acting on these instructions Tristram put in his own name and that when the testator read * The paper is the Will so drawn he tore the paper .*
NOT torn.
" At the hearing however the promoters did not appear and sentance was pronounced for the will propounded by Tristram on 2 April 1628."
It would appear from the above that the effort to prove Tris- tram at fault was unavailing, and from the fact that the paper was not torn, we conclude Tristram was the executor his uncle John Coffin intended.
