Good evening all. Nelson, please forward any emails
I have already sent to Fred and Margaret if they will prove helpful.
I am sending this to all.
I do not have any info. on the computer re. Coffin, but I will
check through some of my photocopies for info. It's a short drive
to the county library from where I work, so I may take a
lunch there soon to check into it for you.
I noted somewhere last night on your site a reference
to Quillen. I have some Quillen's listed in my family info.
The earliest appear to be Hillary, Samuel, John,
and Benton(?sp.) I am also looking for an unknown Quillen
who was the first wife of William Freeman. Any relations here???
I have three Lynch's listed. Mary Catherine b. 1834,
Joseph b. 1840, and Levin b. 1868. Don't know if these fit
in anywhere for you or not.
Now onto tonight's saga: The Fish Family
It appears the info you have on your page coincides for
the most part, although there are some discrepancies.
In going back through my info, I even found a "mistake"
that may prove helpful in the end. More on that
in a minute.So, here we go :
William Henry Fish b. circa 1849 in Atlantic Co. NJ,
son of Alexander and Amelia married first
Rosetta Monger (c.1855-12/8/1885) child of James
and Martha Munger(sp.)
Children of Wm. H. and Rosetta: Charles (c. 1870)
Frank (c. 1879)
John (c. 1871)
Now here's my mistake: I had Rosetta married twice.
The source info. was more detailed than the above, however.
Take a look: Rosetta Monger married HENRY FISHER BORN
IN NJ OF ELEXANDER AND MILLA. They were married 2/24/1869
on Chinco. by P. Bowdin, Jr. Too much of a coincidence!!
Wm. Henry Fish and Henry Fisher are one in the same!!
Perhaps it was a mistake on the document or the name
was shortened at some time????
William Henry Fish
was married next to Alice savage
(born c. 1859-1920) She was the daughter of Wesley and Jane Savage.
They were married 6/14/1886 on Chinco. by S.U. Grimsley.
Children of Wm. H. and Alice: Laura (c.1892-1894)
In checking the new book I referenced last night,
there appears to be a Jessie (1894-1915) and possibly
an Edgar and George. Also an infant death in 1890.
I note Alice savage as having a brother named Thomas born
circa 1860. Died 1943. He was married to Mary Hill (1867-1950).
She was the child of Timothy Hill and Zippora Sharpley.
They were married 6/13/1883 on Chinco. by E.H. Miller.
Sorry this was so long, but I hope it has been in some way helpful.
On your searches, if you happen to come across any
info.on the elusive Jesse Magee./ Mcgee (of John), It would be
greatly appreciated. According to my gfa
(Harvey Mcgee 1909-2001), Jesse's father (John)and two of his
brothers came from Ireland. What he recalled hearing
was one of (John's) brothers was "a hermit" that lived
around the beaches of Fenwick. My gfa also said that
Jesse was "a mean man" and "they were glad to see him go."
Doesn't seem that Lydia's marriage was the happiest!!
Hope to hear from you all soon!! B.J.
