My COFFIN family tree starts in Exeter, Devon c1700 with the marriage of Thomas COFFIN and Mrs Martha RICHARDS. Thomas COFFIN was a Gold & Silver Smith. His son was also Thomas and was also a Gold & Silver Smith. His (2nd) son James, became the Vicar of Linkinhorne, Cornwall and Rector of East Down, Devon. Thomas Stocks COFFIN (grandson of James)came to Victoria, Australia during the early 1850s, his wife Sarah and son Thomas arrived about 18 months later. I am descended from all of these gentlemen.
