General Notes: Husband - Peter Coffin

He lived at Brixton, (England?). His will was dated December 21, 1627, and proved March 13, 1628. It provides that his wife shall have the estate during her life, and that it then goes to his son Tristram, "who is to be provided for according to his degree and calling." He mentions daughters, Joan, Deborah, Eunice and Mary, as being under twenty years of age. He refers to his tenement called Silfemay, in Butlers, and to his brother Nicholas.
