Hannah Gilbert Coffin
BIRTH 1791
Loudoun County, Virginia, USA
DEATH 4 Sep 1871 (aged 79–80)
Green Township, Clinton County, Ohio, USA
BURIAL
Hightop Cemetery
Highland County, Ohio, USA
Full name: Hannah Gilbert Wright Coffin.
Date of birth: The family bible page shown at the right lists Hannah's date of birth as "25th of 4th month 1791," but it should be noted that that page lists numerous births, up through 1820, all in the same handwriting and same ink, so obviously the births weren't recorded anywhere near 1791. The McBrides' Highland County cemetery book records Hannah's tombstone inscription as saying that she died "6th m. 4th d. A.D. 1871, a. 80-1-19." That would calculate to a date of birth of 18 Feb 1791. In view of the discrepancy, only the year of birth appears at the top of this memorial.
Hannah Gilbert's first husband was John Wright (1786-1822). Her second husband was Samuel Coffin (1781-1861).
Parents: Hannah was one of 10 known children of Joseph Gilbert and Ann/Anna/Anne Mash/Marsh Gilbert. The marriage of a Joseph Gilbert and an Ann/Anna/Anne Mash/Marsh was recorded at Old Swedes Church in Philadelphia on 30 Jan 1781. [Ann Mash and her sisters Elizabeth and Mary had been received in Oct 1780 at Buckingham Monthly Meeting, PA, from Kingwood MM, Hunterdon Co, NJ; Joseph Gilbert was "guilty of fornification" with her, and they had been married by a "hireling Minister," according to records of the Buckingham Preparative Meeting (1781-1782); Ann was readmitted by Buckingham MM in 1783, and in Aug 1783 she requested a certificate to Fairfax MM, VA.] Joseph was born 1750-1760, but his date and place of death are unknown. Ann/Anna/Anne is said to have been born 5 Aug 1751 in Rahway, Union Co, NJ.
