COFFEEN FAMILY.
Henry was a son of Michael, who emigrated from Ireland to this country at the age of sixteen. He m. at the age of twenty, and settled in Topsfield ; re. from thence to Lunenburgh, and subsequently to Winchendon, Mass. He is represented as be- ing of wealthy and respectable parentage.
Henry was b. in Lunenburgh, April 6, 1738. He settled first in Rindge ; was selectman there in 1770; re. to Jaffrey soon after, at which place he became a very prominent man. At the first annual meeting after the organization of the town he was chosen moderator ; first selectman and moderator at two subsequent meetings the same year. In 1775 he was cho- sen deputy to attend the Provincial Congress at Exeter ; and in June of the same year he was chosen captain of the military company that year organized,-the first one formed in Jaffrey. He also gave his security that year for a town's stock of salt, and furnished a barrel of rum used at the raising of the meet- ing-house, for which he was paid by the town in 17So, about which time he removed to Acworth, N. H. He purchased a mill in that place, on Cold river, in the south part of the town, and was drowned, in 1785, by a freshet which carried away his mill.
He m., previous to 1765, Lucy, dau. of Moses Hale, of Rindge ; m., 2ª, Mehitable Smith, of Acworth. Children by first wife :
