    "12. Rev. Joseph Coit, second child of Deacon Joseph and Martha Harris Coit, born in New London, April 4, 1673, was graduated at Harvard College in 1697, and was admitted to a Master's degree at the first commencement, in Yale College, in 1702. … His property at death was considerable, and included one male negro servant and two females. Twenty years after his death, a Plainfield correspondent of Dr. Trumbull, the historian, described him as an ornament to his profession, not only a preacher of the gospel of peace, but a zealous promoter of peace among his hearers and others, so that even those who in the latter part of his ministry were disaffected with his preaching, never seemed to have any personal prejudice against him."
