Person talk:Susanna Coe (1)

Birth date [26 November 2012]

I cannot find it in Ricker, but the work Robert Coe, Puritan gives the 16 Aug 1653 DOB in Stratford, CT. That work is usually quite accurate and the long line that it gives for the Coe/Coos is still considered good, but I wasnt sure about Susanna's birthdate since I couldnt find where it came from before that.--Daniel Maxwell 17:55, 17 October 2012 (EDT)

Bartlett was a highly respected genealogist, but I can't see where he got this exact date. Jacobus, in Old Fairfield, says she was born "abt. 1653" apparently based on a probate record which says that she was "6½" on the date of her father's inventory, 20 Oct. 1659. Bartlett cites that same probate record on page 81 of the Coe genealogy.--jaques1724 13:55, 26 November 2012 (EST)

There is also her tombstone, which I cant read much of, perhaps the exact date comes from it. Daniel Maxwell
