C. P. [Curtis Pratt] Coe (deceased) was born May 18, 1801, at East Granville, Mass., son of James and Nancy (Pratt) Coe. His father's family had its origin in England, and mention is made of it in the third volume of Fox's Book of Martyrs, wherein is related the burning at the stake of Roger Coe, of Milford, Suffolk, by order of Queen Mary in 1555. Later it was ascertained that a Robert Coe was the first of the family to emigrate to America, coming in the ship "Francis," John Cutting, Master, in the fall of 1634. He landed in Boston, April 10, 1635, somewhat later than the Massachusetts colony, and settled at Watertown. From the New England records our subject could trace back his pedigree through nine generations. C. P. Coe was twice married, on first occasion February 11, 1823, to Lucinda Cutler, who bore him the following children: Nancy O., Orpha A., Celina E., Eben S., Henry B. and Amy A.

C, born February 22, 1851, died December 11, 1853; Charles C, married to Lelia Garfield, who has one child—Mary; and Lillian I.); Mr. Gaylord died August 9, 1883. Orpha A. married Dr. E. L. Munger, and died May 21, 1877; Dr. E. L. Munger died in December, 1884; they left one son—Charles A. Celina E. married Malcome McCartey, and died January 5, 1875, leaving one daughter—Cora L., wife of F. W. Fitz. Eben S. married Helen Davis (have four children: Harry L., Frederick E., Florence H. and Clara L.) Henry B., who occupies the home place in this township, was married September 14, 1863, to Annette, daughter of Samuel Goodell, an early settler of this county; (they have no children). Amy A. married John R. See (had one child—Nettie B., born October 24, 1862, died April 21, 1864). Our subject married for his second wife, Mrs. Laura Cunningham, who died May 5, 1884. C. P.
