leaving one daughter, Anna, who married, May 26, 1871, Henry T. Taplin of South Newmarket; and that Ebenezer, the third child of Rev. Curtis Coe, born December 6, 1785, came to Northwood, March 10, 1802, when about sixteen years old, and became a clerk in the store of Mr. George Frost.
At the Narrows, November, 1804, he entered into busi- ness for himself when not quite nineteen. Taking a rec- ommendation from Mr. Frost, he went to Portsmouth and asked for goods on credit to the extent of fifteen hundred dollars, having no money with which to begin business. The Havens said, "Young man, your recommendation from Mr. Frost is very good, but he does not say he will be bound for you in payment." " I did not desire him to be," said young Coe, " I have no security to give but my prom- ise ; if that is not sufficient security, then I will clerk it longer." "You may call to-morrow morning, and we will let you know our decision," said the Havens. That night was one of wakefulness and alternate hope and fear to Coe ; but when the morning came, joy came with it. The Ha- vens said to him, " We never trusted so young a man as you before, to half this extent, but we have decided to let you have what you have desired." Coe promptly met his engagement, and never afterwards needed a bondsman. Energetic and careful, he soon won for himself a reputa- tion among merchants for shrewdness in business and hon- esty in dealings, that became exceedingly valuable to him in a long course of trade, and made him to be respected and highly esteemed, even to the end of life. He married, November 13, 1813, Miss Mehitable Smith of Durham, daughter of the late Hon. Ebenezer Smith. They had two children, Eben S. and Henry W .; Eben S. was born No- vember 5, 1814, and married, November 15, 1846, Miss Mary Upham Barker, daughter of the late Hon.
