"Time can be eerie, especially when our ancestors have left behind so many indelible footprints all throughout American history. It's as though a part of them will never really be gone and that has inspired me to create a special story book where they all belong, with their historical homes, museums, famous and epic stories, along with their outstanding achievements, monuments, and headstones, that even time can never erase.
I invite you, the reader, through my original collages of artwork to follow me on this epic journey as we look at the Coffin family legacy, and the many connections they share throughout American history." --Sally Coffin
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sally Coffin's new book shares the journey of the Coffin family. In 1066 A.D., the family of Norman Coffin lived in the possession of Chateau Cortiton. After migrating to England with William the Conquerer in the 1200s, Sir Richard Coffin built Portledge Manor in Devonshire, England. In 1642, Tristram Coffin Sr. fled Devonshire, England in the face of a civil war. He was among the first of his countrymen to settle in the colony of Massachusetts. He arranged for the purchase of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard by a company of nine men he organized on July 2, 1659.
His forth son, John Tristram Coffin, was the first of the Coffins to take up residence on Martha's Vineyard. Author Sally Coffin is a direct descendant of John Tristram Coffin, the doctor, midwife daughter of the Mormon Pioneers, and automobile magnate Howard E. Coffin, who is known as the Father of Standardization.
